Great Tour of Istanbul!

Sherry_C, Sep 2024

Murat gave us a fantastic tour of Istanbul. He has a vast wealth of knowledge regarding the history and culture of Istanbul and Turkey. He is very professional and accommodating to whatever you want to do or see. I would highly recommend him for your tour of Istanbul!

In Depth Key Istanbul Must Sees: Perfect

Columbus_C, Jan 2024

By far one of the best private guided tours I have had around the globe. Extremely knowledgeable, not only with regards to the sights seen, but also as to the overall history behind the sights, city and country. Fascinating explanations and great at planning and pacing of the overall tour. I would (and will) definitely book this tour again for different sights the next time I am in Istanbul. ¡Muchas gracias por todo, Murat!

A real professional guide to have a private visit in Istanbul

Carlos_P, Aug 2023

Murat is one of the touristic guides we’ve ever met. He has all the knowledge of Turkish history and culture. We have visited the main buildings of Istanbul (Sofi, Blue Mosque, Cistern and Topkapi) during 7 hours, and he was able to keep us interested. It’s also remarkable his skills in Spanish

Conocer Estambul de la mano de un experto

LuisMaria_I, Apr 2024

La experiencia con Murat ha sido muy buena, durante todo el día nos ha demostrado lo bien que conoce Estambul y su historía. Nos ha explicado con detalle cada una de las cosas que hemos visitado y además lo ha hecho con mucha paciencia, entrando en detalles interesantes. Muy recomendable para conocer Estambul de forma detallada en poco tiempo.
