The Amazing Insights of Mine

I cannot begin to express how extremely lucky we feel to have spent time with Mine today. From the time of booking and throughout our tour, she was extremely responsive to our needs and worked with us flexibly. What’s more she is a wealth of knowledge about Architecture, Art, History and Culture and Politics , not only of Istanbul, but of the entire Middle East and Europe. I may have learned more from Mine in 3 hours today than I have in the past year. We walked away with incredible insights into Istanbul’s culture and history and relationship to the world. Mine has it all: information, cultural and religious insights and experience and a great sense of humor and fun! Anyone who gets Mine as their guide should consider themselves very lucky!

The only tour guide you will ever need!

Mine is an absolute fountain of knowledge. She was prompt and so incredibly knowledgeable, she could easily be a uni professor. I booked her for the Hagia Sophia tour and the insights and stories she told were fascinating. She is the pinnacle of the tour guide pyramid. She also advocated for me with a group tourists who were taking too long in front of a mosaic.

My Family from Utah Loved Ugur!

Ugur gave us a very informative and wonderful tour of the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Ugur was full of knowledge of the historical sites, the Turkish history and provided us detailed information. Ugur was passionate about Turkey and shared his love of his country with us, including Turkish basketball. We had a great time with him! Thank you.
