Istanbul is quite a magical place with so much history and Ali really made it all come alive. He’s an extremely personable and knowledgeable, with a fantastic command of English. He was very flexible with the time and plan, allowing me and sharing his knowledge with a visit to the basilica cistern, in addition to the Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Topaki Palace and Blue Mosque (which was unfortunately still under restoration). He also gave a lot of tips as much as a local could, and the agency handled all the logistics seamlessly. Fully recommend the tour and to request for Ali.

We had one day in Istanbul, as a stop on a cruise, but were not interested in another huge group tour with slow moving hordes. We spent our day with Kenan, who was knowledgeable, interesting, and a great guide and companion for the day. Definitely better than a group tour!!

Mr. Hikmet war ein hervorragender Führer, er hatte umfassende Geschichtskenntnisse und hat uns viele Geschichten erzählt. Außerdem hat er uns in ein wunderbares Lokal geführt, dass uns einen schönen Einblick in die typische türkische Küche gegeben hat. Der Tag war anstrengend aber unglaublich toll.
