Helpful? Yes
I was initially worried that three hours would be too long and tiring, but it was enjoyable from start to finish. My 12 year old son absolutely loved the experience; it was a perfect way to introduce him to the main attractions of the old city. The guide was excellent; he was very knowledgeable and explained the history in an engaging way. I highly recommend this tour; it's great value and much more enjoyable than exploring on foot.

The Segway tour was an interesting way to see Istanbul, but it had its ups and downs. The training session at the start was thorough, and I felt comfortable riding the Segway after a few minutes of practice. Gliding past landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque was definitely cool, though we didn’t stop long enough at any of them to really take them in it was more of a quick glimpse while rolling by.Gülhane Park was a nice break from the busy streets, but the tour moved pretty quickly, so there wasn’t much time to relax. The Grand Bazaar area was fun to see, but since we didn’t actually go inside, it felt like we just skirted around the real experience. The best part was the view from the Süleymaniye Mosque at the end that alone almost made up for the rushed feeling of the rest of the tour.Overall, it was a decent way to cover a lot of ground in a short time, but I wish there had been more stops for photos or a bit of history from the guide. If you're short on time and just want a quick overview, it works, but don’t expect a deep dive into the sights.

The tour was fantastic, and our guide was incredibly informative. Although the tour lasted only three hours, the time flew by as we learned a great deal about Turkey’s history and Istanbul’s famous landmarks. Riding Segways added an extra element of fun. I would definitely recommend this company. We’ve done Segway tours in other cities before, and they’ve always been a hit with our whole family.
