Muhammed was awesome
I was only able to spend a few hours with Muhammad but I can’t recommend him highly enough. Lots of insight. He got me to go over to the Asian side of the city and a ride on the ferry. Thank you. Made it special…and a lovely guy!

The highlight of our holiday.
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.
