Bahri gave an outstanding tour. An amazing experience.

Minnette_s, Aug 2026

A personalized tour of the Blue Mosque, the Cisterns, an amazing rug store and the Market. Complete with history and unique stories.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much, Minnette! We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing experience with Bahri. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Istanbul again!

Great Experience

Danielle_A, Jul 2025

I had a great private walking tour with Zafer in Old Istanbul! I learned so much as he was very informative and energetic about explaining each stop along the way. Because it was private, I was able to spend as much time as desired at each location! I highly recommend this tour and Zafer!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure showing you around Old Istanbul. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and the flexibility of the private experience.
