We had Buraq as our guide and he was amazing. He is a very knowledgable and energetic person who goes into the details of history while also speaking about contemporary events. We had a lovely experience. I would recommend this trip with a guide. Without a guide, the experience is just spaghetti without sauce.

We enjoyed the Panoramic view of the city from this ancient tower. Ticketing was simple. Did not realize the elevator does not go all the way to the top. It is necessary to climb two flights of stairs to get from the top of the elevator too the top viewing area outside the tower. Two of our party had mobility issues and were unable to climb the stairs, So they could only enjoy the views from inside the tower through windows.Salvador

The pre-loaded audio was excellent and saved me around £8 extra buying earphones from the kiosk. The description leading up to the tower was great to listen to whilst in the queue. I would have liked the audio to tell me which window to look out of to see each of the historical sites below. Just saying "look north" meant nothing to me. So I had to walk around trying to find them.

See one of the most iconic landmarks of Istanbul: The Galata Tower. This ginormous tower has been watching the city for over 6 centuries from this exact location and has become one of the most well-known symbols of the city. From the terrace, see one of the most - if not the most beautiful view of this stunning city, all of the historical peninsula, the Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Bosphorus Strait, the Bosphorus Bridge, the Marmara Sea, both European and Asian sides of Istanbul, Golden Horn and even the Prince Islands. Spend as much time as you want to take the most incredible pictures of Istanbul.
