5.00Exploring the hidden corners of the Old City was an unforgettable experience. This tour took us beyond the typical tourist spots into quiet backstreets and lesser-known neighborhoods full of authentic charm. Walking through areas around, and visiting an market called women's bazaar was amazing. we discovered places we would never have found on our own. Seeing Süleymaniye mosque, Valen's aquaduct ,Fatih mosque and Chora Muséum full of mosaics and frescoes was Amazing.
Highly recommended

5.00Had a half day tour and it was very informative tour about mosques and valen’s aqueduct, women’s market in the neighbourhood and finishing tour with Chora museum was magnificent. Seeing Chora museum and see the mosaics and frescoes of Virgin Mary and Jesus was amazing. Highly recommended this tour to everyone who would like to be away from touristic places.
Informative away from the main crush of the hot spots. Food tasting and tea under the aqua duct, near woman’s markets.

5.00Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. He has a deep commitment to the integrity of the holy sites and was great when giving information about the structures. We had a great time in istanbul . Muhammed met us at the meeting point on time and gave information about the places to see. He guided us with great knowledge without rushing. I would recommend him to everyone. We went to the place where there were no tourists, so we were happy to be away from classic touristic atrractions and visit hidden structures.

5.00our walking tour guide was fantastic. he started the tour at the heart of the historic Istanbul and charted a customised plan to suit our preferences mixing history and cullinary culture of Istanbul.. We went to süleymaniye Mosque, Fatih mosque, Chora museum and mosque, food market in the neighborhood, saw the Valens Aqueduct and our guide explained the historic, architectural, and political/social aspects of the monument and the religion so well.. he knows the city inside out and had some pastry with black tea at the food market through small lanes of historic part of Istanbul .. Emir was great to chat with, and absolutely went out of the way to plan our days in Istanbul (even if it was clearly not his task).

5.00The morning cultural tour was all about walking. We went to the Suleymaniye mosque, women’s market, fatih mosque, and the career mosque and museum. The mosaics and frescoes at the career museum were amazing. I recommend Recommendation for everyone. We also ate and had tea at the women’s market. On the tour, we visited places where native peasants live entirely.

5.00l booked for morning culturel tour and enjoyed a lot with lots of information about mosques and Chora mosque/ Museum. We were taken to the untouristic hidden places. l was happy to see local places where there were no tourists. Perfect day for a walking tour, the views from the Chora Museum were stunning.

5.00We booked for half day tour. Our guide was awesome and very kind, funny, and informative. İt was mostly a walking tour to the sites. It's a tour to the non touristic areas. We saw some major sites ( chora museum/mosque was impressive with mosaics and frescoes ) and had a good mixture of time to view on our own and being guided and given information. I highly recommend the tour!

5.00I took a tour in the morning. It was a tour of the museums and mosques of Suleymanıye, Fatih and Chora. We passed through a neighborhood where conservative people live, visited the food market and saw many stores selling beef, sheep, cheeses, honey and everything you need. It was a tour of the tourist areas. We ate some cakes and drank Turkish black tea at the food market.
