• Amazing and fascinating tour of Istanbul’s Old City!

  We had an incredible tour today of the old city in Istanbul with Muhammed. Just getting to know him and hear his life story is worth the price of the tour. I told him at the end that I thought he was one of the most interesting people I had ever met. He is extremely well educated and has a masters degree, and also speaks four languages. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the city and makes it very interesting. We had him buy all of the tickets ahead of time, and I would strongly urge you do the same because that way you avoid the never ending lines. He knew which places to go and at what times in order to minimize any delays. We joined him at 8 o’clock in the morning and stayed with him until 3:30 in the afternoon. I have to admit we were a little tired but it was worth it as we were able to see all of the major architectural and historical places that we had read about prior to coming to Istanbul. We started at the hippodrome where saw the Obelisk of Theodosius as well as the Serpent Column. From there, we went to the Blue Mosque, and, of course, skipped the line. Then, off to the Basilica cistern. That is one of the more amazing archeological structures I’ve ever seen. We then decided to explore the Topkapi Palace. The size of the palace is difficult to comprehend as are all of the treasures scattered throughout its immense size. Then we were off to the Hagia Sophia. Words don’t do it justice. Then, finally, we went to the Grand Bazaar where there are 4000 stalls and shops! Since the 15th century, the Bazaar has been the heart of Istanbul’s trade and culture, attracting over half a million visitors a day. At each site, Muhammed was able to tell us the history and interesting details about absolutely everything we were seeing. We finished up at his favorite place to get Turkish Delight, as well as teas and Saffron. Whenever he goes to visit his family, he gets an assortment of delicious items from here to take to them. You sit on chairs and they ply you with six or seven different flavors of teas and let you sample multiple different kinds of Turkish delight as well as various nuts and chocolate, all of which are delicious. Needless to say, we left with a bag full of various items to take home with us. It wasn’t enough that Muhammed had entertained, educated and informed us all day. He also helped us arrange transportation from our hotel to the airport in a couple of days at about 1/4 of the price of what our hotel was going to charge. He is also more than willing to assist with helping us organize other activities during our stay in Istanbul. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful tour guide he is. A truly fascinating individual. If I return to Istanbul I am definitely looking him up again.

  Istanbul became even more special thanks to Mohammed, and we truly appreciate all the effort he put into our tour. From the first moment, he was welcoming, professional, and full of knowledge about every corner of the city. His way of explaining history and culture made everything easy to understand and enjoyable. The tour itself was amazing. We visited the iconic landmarks as well as hidden spots that we never would have discovered on our own. Each location offered a unique glimpse into Istanbul’s rich history and vibrant culture. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul.

  Our experience in Istanbul was unforgettable thanks to Mohammed . From the very beginning, he was, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and culture. Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully planned, and he seamlessly blended fascinating historical details with local stories that brought the city to life. What really stood out was Mohammed’s ability to make the experience personal. He tailored the tour to our interests, answered every question with depth and enthusiasm, and even shared insider tips on the best places to eat and explore beyond the main attractions. If you’re visiting Istanbul, do yourself a favor and book a tour. It’s the best decision you can make to truly experience the heart and soul of this city. Highly recommend!
