I booked the Istanbul Jewish tour with Kadir, which was fantastic. He has a true expertise in and passion for the history and culture of Judiasm in the Ottoman Empire and Istanbul specifically. You will definitely see things "off the beaten path" that one might not otherwise experience. Kadir is somewhat of a local legend, so I would highly recommend booking any tour with him!

About local Ahmet Can
27 July 2025
Excellent historical detail
Despite a delay to our start as we could not find the German fountain! Ahmet was a perfect guide, his knowledge of the history of Istanbul went beyond dates and details but provided relevant information that linked and overlapped. Despite the heat, the time went quickly.

About local Tolga

Great Experience!
What a wonderful tour! Tolga knew all of the best places to take us on our food tour and we truly feel we got a taste of Turkey. Tolga not only is very knowledgeable on Turkish food, but also the history of Turkey. I highly recommend Tolga for any tour.
