We had just an interesting and funny time. But not with a local… with a local friend ;)

It was so interesting. We got a lot off tips. Hidden restaurants and trains…

And a really good Raki

Thank you so much and think about the Cat and Karma Tour ;)

If we‘ll come back we will book him again

Best regards from
Marion and Wolfgang

I had a fantastic time on my tour with Muhammed!I had a very unexpected layover in Istanbul and was able to book for a late night tour. Even though this was last minute, Muhammed had a fantastic itinerary set up and gave me multiple options as to where we could go and what we could do. He was also super knowledgeable on the city and history, and had stories about all the places we visited. I got to see so much of the city in a few short hours- time flew by!

Since Iwas traveling alone as a 22 year old girl, I was nervous about navigating transportation, but Muhammed helped me find a uber home and made sure I got home safely.

If I could give him 100000 stars I would- thank you Muhammed for the great tour !!!!!!

Aysenur was excellent…! We chose this tour to see a bit of the city at a different time of day and this allowed us to see a very different side of Istanbul to the usual day sightseeing.
We saw an umbrella covered street in great light that I had asked to go to - trivial but fun photographs resulting - the sort of sidetour that makes the difference.
Aysenur is all of the things that a guide should be - she’s punctual, polite and highly knowledgeable not just in historical timelines, facts and figures but what we particularly enjoyed was her good humour, friendliness and above all else her interest in us as people. Our discussions were wide ranging, good fun and allowed us to learn more about the people of the city.
This was a truly great evening Aysenur, thank you, we thoroughly recommend to all thinking about taking this tour.

My short time in Istanbul was made so much better thanks to Aysenur. She is beyond knowledge about Turkish history, architecture, culture and more. I tend to ask a lot of questions and she was so kind to answer them all for me with great patience. I also loved the cafe/bakery that we stopped at, which she said was one of her favorites. It was such a unique way to see the city without feeling like you are on a generic guided tour. I left feeling like I had made a friend and can't wait to go back to Istanbul.

We booked the evening tour for the day we arrived in Istanbul, it was a great way to quickly get our bearings, learn a little about the history of Istanbul and a basic understand the Islamic culture with visits to the both modern food and social scene as well as a number of Mosques and other historic sites. Absolutely perfect as a first introduction. Emir was friendly, enthusiastic and brought a broader cultural understanding which is so valuable in the city where Europe meets the middle east.

Faruk was knowledgeable, passionate and kind! We landed and went straight to our tour and it was a wonderful way to kick off our experience in Istanbul, and truly hear and feel the city through the eyes of a person who lives, teaches and loves here.

My mom and I had an amazing experience and appreciated the guides communication and recommendations even after our tour!

Istanbul Taxi service is not the best and after being thrown out of the third Taxi as he didn't want to take us to where we were to meet Abdullah in the city centre, Abdullah came to our rescue. Even though he spoke with the taxi driver and then the Police who also failed to help, he came to our rescue by collecting us. After this not so wonderful start, Abdullah made our evening of wandering around the city and dining with us a fun and happy night. He is such a delight to be with, making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Definitely if you have3 the opportunity to make a booking with him, don't miss it.

I had a very good time, my guide Deniz Şenavcı did a greta job. Very sweet and nice girl, took me through the streets where the locals go out and I was able to see both European and Asian sides and try the local street foods of the city. The ferry trip was very nice with amazing views. I strongly recommend this tour.
