I had a fantastic time on the Istanbul Classical Economic Tour! Istanbul's historical sites are simply breathtaking, and this tour covered all the must-see attractions. The Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque left me in awe.

The reason I'm giving it 5 stars is because the guide was not only knowledgeable but also enthusiastic, making the history come alive. The tour was well-organized, and the small group size made it easy to interact and ask questions. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul on a budget. It's a 5-star experience all the way! yes
