- Global5646567734900Excellent tourIncredible tour, with fascinating sites and narrative. Ozzy was an incredible guide with amazing insight and knowledge. This is a great introduction to the history and culture of this beautiful city.
- pattyferrington00I will never book through trip advisor againNo one showed up to pick me up. It was terrible. When I called the tour company they said Trip Advisor did not give them my reservation. I am still waiting for a refund. Go directly to a travel agent.
- sunilpeter00A must do journey in IstanbulIt was a great spiritual experience. Much of this ancient sumi tradition is unknown to most. A must for anyone visiting Istanbul
- omar a00Istanbul AquariumThe aquarium, which is one of the largest in Europe, boasts a helpful front desk that provides excellent assistance. It houses a diverse range of creatures from both the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Although there was no tour guide available or any shows available, we enjoyed the impressive 3D Istanbul tour. However, the shopping mall was considered to be overpriced.
- LindaAgas00What a massive waste of time and moneyWe were here during Kurban Bayram and the lines were enormous there was a two hour que and for what? Absolute diss appointment only thing is columns ontop of water - yeah it’s underground but so are tunnels and aquariums. Seriously if you haven’t been don’t go just look at the photos it’s exactly what you see
- Tony P00Amazing insights!Learned more about the Asian side of Istanbul. Very interesting. Lunch was great! I also learned more about Turkey from the eyes and heart of the guide.
- U5099QEandrep00Beware buying perfumes in street in TurkeyBe careful shopping perfumes . there is plenty of copies available , But finally you can be packed a similar bottle in similar to original package , Closed , but bottle contains NO PERFUME , but WATER
- chickenbone600EnchantingIt was a very meaningful ceremony and an intimate setting with a good view of the ceremony from every seat. The music was enchanting and the information boards outside of the ceremony room are informative.
- 990sylwiat00Must see Harem !Great place where culture & history meets. Plan to spend at least half day there. There is a lot of walking & lines of people to get to every room. You can see Harem from inside or household items like pots , guns or clothes. The only negative experience I had there was bathroom situation where there was not enough stalls for women, constant lines to get to the bathroom, lack of paper toilet & hand soap. Other than that I have no regrets
- Stephen R00Remida hotelNothing luxury about this hotel simply not ready for guests cold no hot water not finished food appalling no choice no desserts building site on terrace of the restaurant first floor. No toaster for breakfast. Rushed to open in time for 23. All exotica said was that the would credit us with a voucher for £50 in my exotica account ready for the next time I booked with them. Good luck with that guys could be in there for some time. Ps make sure you get 23 kg baggage with the flights Turkish airlines charged us £111 for one 21 kg bag there and back. On this tour you live out of a suitcase 6 different hotels 7 changes.
- WillowBaby00Operator did not show, refund refusedI booked a local tour in Turkey. I was 25 minutes early and waited until 15 minutes past the meeting time. The office was locked, no guide showed up, no one responded to my message or phone calls. A man in the street told me they are closed, and TripAdvisor confirms this. I requested a refund but Klook refused it because the operator says they were there. This is a lie. Very poor customer service from Klook and Istanbul Walking Tours.
- AdeebW00LovelyA very nice place to be and you will have a wonderful time if you love the sea life. Neatly done and superbly massive. Don't miss the mall in Florya as well. You can easily take the Marmarai line from Sirkeçi and travel via the magnificent rail line. You can use your istanbulkart (the red card for Istanbul public transportation).
- Prasadpreethi00worth visiting.Best experience we had. Especially Penguins and Amazon tropical forest replica, we really felt that we are in the middle of rain forest. That also inside a shopping mall, Amazing.
- mel256700A fun day!Dogus (who is with Istanbul Walks) was great, we really enjoyed our day with her! We have been in Istanbul for almost a week but learned a lot of new and interesting facts, and we wish we had done this tour sooner on our trip because she pointed out a lot of fun things we didn’t know about. My only advice to other travelers, especially Western visitors, is to do your research before entering the Spice Market as it is very easy to be persuaded into purchasing/spending more than intended. We took some of our favorite pictures from the trip on the Bosphorus cruise!
- someoneuzb00AquariumVisited this place with my wife. It was interesting and wonderful place. Recommend to visit. There are also shops here, if you want to do shopping.

Our flight to Istanbul was cancelled so we nearly missed our class. However, Istanbul Walks were really accomodating and kept in touch with us and rescheduled for us. On the day of our class we got off to a slightly bumpy start as we were picked up an hour late. However, once we arrived at the restaurant where we were treated with great hospitality. Ali, the chef speaks good English, is a great teacher and adapted the menu so we could cook vegetarian food. My 11 year old absolutely loved the class. We both had lots of fun cooking and the food was incredible. It was also a great way to try something that you might not order for yourself in the restaurant - one of the dishes we made was a savoury stuffed melon which was amazing.
Learning to cook Turkish food was on my son's must-do list of things for Istanbul and we were so happy that the company moved the date for us and that Ali made it so much fun on the day.
Make sure you don't eat breakfast before you go!

Despite my being the only student for the cooking class, the restaurant kindly accepted me and devoted all their attention to me. The class was well organized in terms of products, space and instruments. We cooked three authentic Turkish dishes. You will be provided with a written recipe but be sure you take notes as the chef works on the dishes because the recipes are sketchy. The waiters helped a lot my interaction with the sous-chef. I was inspired by the team's warm reception and an offer to join the team! I'm very grateful and liked the class a lot.

It's not often you get a chance to do a cooking class in a Michelin restaurant.
There was a bit of confusion with the driver telling me to get off at Sura hotel, which is across from the restaurant, with no further guidance..but just make your way to Deraliye Restaurant if you're in that situation.
The chef was not just talented but extremely also friendly and of course patient, a must when it comes to me in the kitchen. The dishes were both simple and also full of flavor.
You spend about 1-1.5 hours of cooking in total, and you're rewarded with an amazing 3-course meal at the end.

Food was mediocre, definitely overpriced for what we learned . The chef was a young girl and she was very sweet and friendly but the flavor of food was just okay. We’ve done many cooking classes all over the world this was probably the most expensive and not that great. On the description they say wine tasting and that was not even offered, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Unfortunately, the cooking class was cancelled by the organiser, I only found out on the morning of the class when I was confirming the name of the restaurant that would be hosting the cooking class. They asked me to come the week after which was impossible as we were only in Istanbul for 2 days. We were very disappointed, as we had been looking forward to this opportunity during our stay in Istanbul...

A terrific experience learning to prepare Turkish cuisine. Chef Halil is a fabulous instructor - she provided clear explanations, and demonstrated superb technique. I'm vegan, and was excited to experience how the various spices, ingredients, and cooking process translate to veganism. The entire staff was absolutely delightful and engaging which made for a fun experience.

We had a great time cooking with Hilai today. The meal turned out great and I picked up a few things I can use in my cooking when I get home.

Wonderful experience! This was a real highlight of our fantastic trip to Istanbul. The staff is lovely and the authentic Turkish food we cooked was amazing. We really appreciated learning how to use different ingredients / spices to bring together flavors of the region. Highly recommend!

What a delightful experience. Chef Yilmaz was very patient and explained the food, the technique and the preparation very clearly. I enjoyed the hands on cooking of the food and was very glad that it wasn’t just watching the chef cook.
We prepared three authentic Turkish dishes and they all were delicious. This class was certainly one of the highlights of my trip to Istanbul.
