Muy bien todo, el guia muy puntual, una mañana muy completa viendo todo lo mas importante del centro de Estambul, muy bien aprovechado el tiempo y nos ayudó ademas a gestionar las reservas para el paseo en barco por la noche por el Bosforo. Muy bien. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was great. The guide was very punctual. We had a very full morning seeing all the highlights of central Istanbul. We made very good use of our time. He also helped us arrange reservations for the evening boat trip on the Bosphorus. Very good. Opinion translated. Show original.

Es necesario que la accesibilidad de los guías en tours privados en Estambul sea la adecuada, se la carga de trabajo pero los sacas de lo que ellos quieren hacer como rutina y se vuelve un problema el transporte prácticamente no lo usan , solo como traslados a la zona y regreso y existiendo otras opciones interesante para caminar por la zona de sultanmahet parques, cisterna. y hacer una experiencia esto es mi opinión. Translate this opinion into English.

Guides on private tours in Istanbul need to be adequately accessible. The workload is there, but if you take them away from their routine, it becomes a problem. Transportation is practically unused, only for transfers to and from the area. There are other interesting options for walking around the Sultanmahet parks and cisterns and having an experience—that's my opinion. Opinion translated. Show original.

Increíble el placer de poder contar con guía privado. Nuestra guía se llama Ilknur Balin y ha sido de 10. Nos ha explicado todo con claridad, nos ha dado recomendaciones y nos ha solucionado dudas con las entradas. Quizá, por poner una pega no hubiese hecho falta contratar un chófer para el día. Todo lo que queríamos visitar estaba muy cerca para poder ir andando. Repetiría. Caro, pero merece la pena Translate this opinion into English.

The pleasure of having a private guide is incredible. Our guide, Ilknur Balin, was a 10/10. She explained everything clearly, gave us recommendations, and answered any questions we had about tickets. Perhaps, if I had a problem, it wouldn't have been necessary to hire a driver for the day. Everything we wanted to visit was within walking distance. I would definitely go again. Expensive, but worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una guía estupenda ya que gracias a su planificación hizo que nos ahorrásemos tiempo de espera a la hora de entrar a ver los monumentos. Nos acompañó a comer a un restaurante riquísimo y nos recomendó otros sitios para tomar café o té. Demostró unos grandes conocimientos de la historia y un muy buen castellano. El vehículo, con el que nos hemos desplazado, ha sido fantástico, muevo y cómodo con un conductor muy seguro y amable. Translate this opinion into English.

A wonderful guide, thanks to her planning, she saved us waiting time when we entered the monuments. She accompanied us to a delicious restaurant and recommended other places to have coffee or tea. She demonstrated a wealth of historical knowledge and excellent Spanish. The vehicle we traveled in was fantastic, fast and comfortable, with a very safe and friendly driver. Opinion translated.

El tour nos sirvió para situar los principales monumentos, cafés e incluso sitios donde debíamos estar para otras visitas. Senai (mónica) nos contó muchos aspectos de la vida en Turquía, incluso a título personal. Hicimos el tour, aunque en muchos momentos bajo la lluvia. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour helped us locate the main monuments, cafes, and even places we needed to visit for other visits. Senai (Monica) told us many aspects of life in Turkey, even on a personal note. We took the tour, although it was raining a lot. Opinion translated. Show original.

Contratamos un tour privado en Estambul y fue un desastre. Le enviamos nuestras preferencias el día anterior, pero al encontrarnos no tenía nada preparado y no ofreció recomendaciones. Respondía con molestia a preguntas sobre la religión y mostraba poco conocimiento histórico. Su español era difícil de entender y caminaba lento bajo el sol. Terminamos el tour a las 13:00 en vez de a las 17:00 por falta de profesionalismo. No la recomendaría.

We booked a private tour of Istanbul, and it was a disaster. We sent her our preferences the day before, but when we met, she had nothing prepared and offered no recommendations. She responded angrily to questions about religion and showed little historical knowledge. Her Spanish was difficult to understand, and she walked slowly in the hot sun. We ended the tour at 1:00 PM instead of 5:00 PM due to a lack of professionalism. I wouldn't recommend her.

El guía os informó que la pausa para el almuerzo sería a las 13:00. Sin embargo, decidisteis dar por terminado el tour a esa hora y continuar por vuestra cuenta. Sentimos si algún aspecto del servicio no resultó de vuestro agrado. Agradecemos y tomamos nota de los comentarios para seguir mejorando en lo posible. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide informed you that the lunch break would be at 1:00 PM. However, you decided to end the tour at that time and continue on your own. We apologize if any aspect of the service was not to your liking. We appreciate your feedback and take note of it so we can continue to improve as much as possible. Opinion translated.

A parte de pagar 200 euros por el tour a Civitatis para 3 personas. La guía Crnkorkmaz nos cobró 205 euros por un viaje en tranvía del puerto al centro ciudad, la vuelta en taxi del centro al puerto, y las entradas a Santa Sofía y la Cisterna, no saco más tickets. Además mostrando nos muy poco interes, mucho tiempo al móvil. Lo de que te lleve a tiendas de sus amigos es lo de menos. Por favor no trabajen con esta empresa-guia.

Aside from paying 200 euros for the Civitatis tour for three people, the guide, Crnkorkmaz, charged us 205 euros for a tram ride from the port to the city center, a taxi ride back from the center to the port, and tickets to Hagia Sophia and the Cistern. She didn't issue any more tickets. She also showed very little interest in us and spent a lot of time on her phone. The fact that she takes you to her friends' shops is the least of it. Please don't work with this guide company.
