    Kadir was an amazing guide. He took us out all day to cultural places and shopping. He was very knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. I would highly recommend booking with him!! You won’t regret it.

    Kadir was a great combination of deep knowledge and wonderful personality. He has a great sense of humor and put us at ease immediately. He was very helpful when it came to buying things from local companies too. We did so much in one day. And got great exercise in as well :).

  • Read me FIRST! 🙏 Kadir 🙏

    If you’re traveling to Istanbul and want an experience that truly stands out from the rest, you need to connect with Kadir. From the very beginning, his knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for the city set him apart. He doesn’t just show you Istanbul — he helps you experience it. I was traveling solo on this trip, and thanks to Kadir’s guidance, my four days in Istanbul became an absolute highlight. He knew exactly where to go, what to see, and how to make every moment count. From historic landmarks to hidden local gems, his insight made everything richer and more meaningful. What really separates Kadir from others is his personal touch. He takes the time to understand what you’re looking for and tailors the experience to fit you perfectly. I never once felt like just another tourist — I felt taken care of. When I return to Istanbul with my family, Kadir will be my very first contact. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with creating that experience for the people I care about most. If you’re planning a trip, make sure you connect with Kadir for all your Istanbul needs. You won’t regret it.

    I highly recommend Kadir as a guide in Istanbul. My tour was so much fun - interesting, informative and highly enjoyable. Kadir is a very qualified historian, shares his love of the history of his city with knowledge and enthusiasm. I usually wander around on my own in new cities and I am so glad I chose to have Kadir as my guide. Thank you Kadir for an excellent tour of old town Istanbul.

    Kadir was a wealth of knowledge and an incredible guide!! He was worth every dollar!! We would seek him out as our guide anywhere he guides!! Topkapi Palace, Harem section and the Basilica Cisterna came to life with Kadir. Very easy to communicate with, understand and a great sense of humor! Plus he gave us great recommendations for food, etc and went out of his way to make sure we got there. Touring in Istanbul is better with Kadir!

  • Tour of the palace and old town Istanbul

    We had such a great experience touring with Kadir. From the start, he made everything feel easy, relaxed, and really personal. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does and about making sure you have the best possible experience. His knowledge of the palace and the history behind it was impressive, but what stood out most was how naturally he shared everything. It never felt like a scripted tour — more like exploring with a very knowledgeable friend who loves the city and its history. He took time to answer questions, pointed out details we would definitely have missed, and made the whole visit feel special. I would highly recommend Kadir to anyone visiting Istanbul who wants a more personal and memorable tour. He’s not just a great guide, he’s a genuinely great person and made our time there insanely cool

    Two tours with Kadir and we shall certainly book more! Having done some of the biggest attractions in Istanbul, Kadir has recommended different experiences to us following the tours and they continue to deliver! Kadir goes above and beyond to ensure his clients satisfaction with the tours. An easy going guy who provides lots of laughter as well as incredible facts throughout your tour. He also provided us with tonnes of recommendations for Istanbul and the surrounding area which was a massive help for us staying in the city! We are already looking into the third tour with Kadir!

  • Great time at the Hagia Sofia

    Great time at the Hagia Sofia ! Our guide Kadir was explaining so well the history of the cathedral that it made fun for the whole family. Our teens of 12 and 15 years were even still speaking about Kadir in the afternoon! We had a great and instructive time in there and would have not discovered anything without him ! Thanks for the great time, I can recommend Kadir for every person passing by in Istanbul. We regretted him directly after we got an another on at the Cistern !!!
