We took this tour on our first full day in Istanbul, and it was the perfect start to our vacation. Our tour guide Murat was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. If we had tried to do these tours on our own, we would never have known half of the historical details he shared during the hours we spent with him — we learned so much that the rest of our time in Istanbul was better because of it. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful day tour of Istabul with Murat! He was incredibly knowledgeable, interesting, and patient as he led our family of five (two adults, two kids, and a teenager) around the city. He graciously answered our endless questions and modified the day around our interests and budget. We learned far more than we would ever have learned on our own. We will be talking about this trip for a long time and, thanks to Murat's photo taking, we have beautiful photos to remember it by. Highly recommend!

I had a private tour with Murat. I can’t say enough about what a pleasant and memorable day this was. Murat’s deep knowledge of the history of the sites and the surrounding area is remarkable. I highly recommend this tour to understand the rich history and culture of Istanbul.

I hired Murat as a single female traveler from the USA. I also only had 1 full day to explore Istanbul, so I wanted to see all the top sights in 1 day. Murat was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. He was very professional, told me so much about the history of every place we went, allowed me to tell him the sights I didn't want to miss, watched out for my safety, AND braved rain & cold temps (3⁰ Celcuus) all day to show me around! He is well worth the money!

Murat was a superb guide and provided so much interesting historical context and stories about the sites.
