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.

Kadir is knowledgeable, very friendly, and fun. We had a great day with him and enjoyed the tour very much! Would definitely recommend Kadir.

Ayfer led our mixed group with various food no-go items on a delightful, informative food tour of Istanbul. She was good humoured, knowledgeable, and entertaining. She adapted her program successfully to our delight. We loved talking with her, and enjoyed sharing our reactions and stories with her. Ayfer went beyond our expectations. We were saddened to reach the end of our time with her.

We had the best day with Kadir. He was extremely knowledgable and explained everything in understandable terms. Kadir knew everybody in town - it was like getting a tour by the mayor! I highly recommend tours with Kadir.

Good communication from Mine , where to meet. We had a fabulous morning shopping with Mine around the grand Bazaar/ spice market . Lots of hidden gems lots of history and knowledge. Was relaxed and we throughly enjoyed shopping experience. Highly recommend.
