Ahmet magnificent guide and driver, plus his knowledge of Turkey and especially Islam. Their human values beyond the cultural. Someone to trust in distant lands.

Ahmet was a fantastic guide, who patiently took us around all the landmarks of Istanbul and told us great stories about the different monuments. He is very knowledgeable and truly passionate about what he tells people about. He was also very accommodating and patient when we needed to take breaks after hours of walking in burning Istanbul!

Ahmed is one of the best guides I have encountered. He is very knowledgeable not only about Istanbul but also global history and religion. He brings up lots of fascinating facts throughout the tour and uses visual aids to make sure that everyone can picture what is no longer available to see. After our tour I have visited archeological museum to view things that Ahmed mentioned during the tour. He made our trip to Istanbul very special. Super helpful and very patient guide. I will definitely get in touch again when we return to Turkey.

Fantastic day just 4 if us who were travelling together Our guide Ahmet was amazing and very knowledgeable and collected us on time from our hotel to begin a walking tour of the major sites very close to our hotel Made changes to suit us as we did not want to queue for Hagia Sofia and spent longer shopping Lunch included which was at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the river absolutely beautiful with great food Place was closed so we went to a different palace in the afternoon then followed by a boat trip where we joined other small groups Very long day but one of the best days if our 6 week european trip Highly recommend and Ahmet made the day

Our trip to Istanbul was made more fun by Ahmet. He was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable… we were relatively a large group and Ahmet managed excellently well and ensured each one gets proper attention, while he was showing us around all the important sites! He ensured that we had the best experience of Istanbul!!

Ahmet was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and a great sense of humor. We had the absolute best time on his tour. Saw all the important must see sites and a couple off the beaten path. The lunch stop we went to was delicious. Easy walking, but covered a lot of ground. Istanbul is a stunning city with deep culture, kind people, and phenomenal foods.
