Alp was a great guide. He showed us the murals around Kadikoy and Moda. Very informative and interesting! Very personable and friendly! Recommended for insight into the street art scene and Turkish culture.

This was a great way to start our visit to Istanbul—off the beaten tourist path. Alp was always helpful and knowledgeable, and a fun companion. The art was impressive and Kadiköy thoroughly enjoyable.

Kadir was a lovely man. He knew local vendors and we sampled several local specialties. He knew a great deal about the Jewish history of turkey. Very happy that he was our guide. highly recommend his services.

Ayfer was incredibly knowledgeable! She added so much to our trip and created memories that will stay with us for years to come.

Kadir is genuinly interesting, knowledgable, beyond friendly. I you must always book him for his tours we will definately when we visit Istanbul next, it is because of him we will be!

Mine was a fountain of knowledge about the bazaar - both its history and the shops themselves. We had an excellent 2.5 hour that took in the hidden nooks and crannies of the bazaar, some of its landmark shops, the hidden back streets and the spice bazaar. A good blend of insight, knowledge and fun that kept our two children (12 and 10) entertained. All-in-all, a very good tour.

A hugely rewarding afternoon spent with Mine in Fener, Istanbul. Her knowledge is encyclopedic and brought to life through lived experience and friendships across many cultures. I look forward to discovering more of Istanbul with her in the future.

Mine was an incredible guide. Actually, an incredible host. She asked in advance if we wanted to focus on a particular area and then adjusted seamlessly as we saw shops that jumped out. She has a deep knowledge of the city and the bazaars, introducing us to shop owners making remarkable products. Will do again next time I visit.

Before the trip I had talked with her about what we would like to focus on and so she catered to this. Everything was with a smile and not once did she mention purchasing anything, only introduced us to places. All in all a good time and can highly recommend having a guide for a trip to the bazaar

Kadir treated us to an informative, personal, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable tour of Jewish Istanbul. His knowledge was exemplary and his personable nature put us at ease from the moment we met. We would highly recommend him.
