Best Tour Ever by Kemal

5.00This might have been the best tour our family has ever had. Kemal went above and beyond to provide an experience of a lifetime to our family. Our tour began at 10am whereby Kemal met us at the port. We arrived early and he was there. Our day began with a tour of the blue mosque, hagia Sofia and hippodrome. Kemal’s knowledge of history was superior. We then ate a traditional Turkish lunch nearby that didn’t disappoint. Afterwards, we walked through the grand bazaar whereby Kemal took us to all of our shopping requests. Overall, this was a wonderful experience made possible by our amazing guide - Kemal. We highly recommend!
Fantastic tour and tour guide

5.00Kamal went above the call of duty and pushed my wife in her transport chair up to the second level of the Hagia Sophia and back down and then for another mile to the Grand Bazaar! He was extremely helpful!

5.00Kemal Aslan was our guide and he arrived early to greet the 5 other people on our day tour. His knowledge was extraordinary and his care for us as a group amazing. Kemal stayed for an extra 1 1/2 hours showing us around. I don’t know what the other tour guides with this group are like but Kemal was fantastic.
Great Tour
