Does RS have any 1 or 2 day tours in Istanbul? This would be for April.
No, RS only does multi-day tours.
All tours are listed here:

SRM Travel is the company RS uses for their Turkey guides. They can put together private tours. https://www.srmtravel.com/index.html
We are independent travelers except until we recently decided to try something new.
The RS Istanbul 7 Day tour is the only group tour we have taken.
Took it last October and it was great. So much to see. For us the 7 days was perfect as we got to see more than just the top named sites. But if you don't have the time the previous suggestion for the guides that the RS tours use is a good reference.
A tour guide I highly recommend is: Metin Koca. He has hundreds of excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. I have hired him a couple of times in Istanbul. He speaks English exceptionally, he is funny, and honest. Metin is also very passionate about Istanbul and its rich history. Metin’s email: [email protected]
