5.00We booked a private day tour with Kemal and we’re not disappointed. Kemal’s knowledge was superb and he took us around the city avoiding the queue’s to see Istanbul’s rich history, which made for a terrific day. Highly recommend Kemal to anybody who really wants to get to know Istanbul. Brilliant…

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our half day tour with Kemal! Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar were beautiful and fascinating! Kemal’s friendly nature, good humor and extensive knowledge made the tour perfect! Would highly recommend!
We were a group of 8 senior citizens so we needed lots of rest breaks and Mr. Kemal Aslan was very patient & flexible!

5.00Kemal Aslan was my guide and I could not have asked for a better person to go with. As someone who knew little before coming here, Kemal helped alot often going out of the way to help. Was very professional and who knew very details of each place. I will highly recommend him to ask for his guidance specially if you are a newcomer.
Nice day with the pleasant guide

5.00We used Barish for a private day tour of Istanbul that started in the Old City and visited the Topaki Palace, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and a lovely lunch that kept us out of the rain and gave us a nice vantage point to see the Bosporus. Barish was knowledgable and didn't rush us. Overall a great experience.
