    This was the best! Included everything I wanted to see and do in one package. Such a wonderful treat! Great food, tea, turkish coffee and his company. Learned so much about the history, types of areas and was NEVER HUNGRY. This is an incredible tour and Metin was an energetic and caring guide. I was also lucky to be the only participant. He was an amazing jewel–encouraging, supportive and 10 stars helpful when I was desperate to retrieve a forgotten credit card within hours of closing the shop and me leaving the area at a time of “no taxi available” and heavy traffic. In addition, he recommended places to find good clothing deals, and an excellent restaurant to accommodate my vegan diet. Always wanted to go to a hamam, and never would have if it had not been included with his tour. So happy to add that experience to my life. I raise a glass of Raki to this man!

    Alim is a great guide! He was very conscientious by giving us detailed directions from our hotel to our meeting point and back and picked out some fantastic eateries where enjoyed local unique baklava, delicious flatbreads, Turkish coffee and so much more! What I appreciated most was Alim’s willingness to augment our tour and add things as substitutions in place of sites we’d already seen on a prior tour. This truly made our booked tour customized to what we wanted to do. Critical to the success of our trip was his speaking with vendors to help my group negotiate with vendors and help us navigate signage at the various transport depots. Alim was invaluable and helped us enjoy our time in Istanbul.

    We walked around areas we would never have found, tasted Turkish delights through the day and experienced local customs. Metin is energetic, enthusiastic, funny and knowledgeable about his city. He even walled us back to the metro so we didn’t get lost. Above and beyond. We should have done this tour when we first arrived. And HAS TO BE WITH Metin 😄

    This was an amazing day! They purposely keep the groups small to make it a personalized experience and we were lucky to get our incredible guide, Metin, all to ourselves for our tour. We felt like we were being shown around the city by a friend. Metin is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul + added his own views and personal stories of the sights that we were seeing! And we stopped multiple times throughout for food and snacks at places that he vetted and locals loved. I would highly recommend taking this tour early in your trip- the places we covered were unique and different than the typical tourist sites and Metin became a personal friend showing us the city.

    Wandering through different neighbourhoods of Istanbul and trying different foods was fun and informative.
