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

Oguz took us to several mosques and he took the time to explain a lot of history. We walked through Fener and Balat. Very interesting. We walked through the market and had lunch in a very local place, which was very nice! We had a great day!

Oğuz has charted an excellent walking route through the city. It takes you through the inner streets. You see the rich history, culture and real day to day life of this vibrant city. He's very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommended.

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.

So lovely, knowledgeable. The time flew by. The highlight of my trip! I only wish i had been able to book a full day with Mine! I could have spent all days inIstanbul learning history and culture. Well worth it!

Mine is absolutely fascinating. She picked my star sign and showed me parts of Istanbul , Relatable and Fenner forgive spellings that were absolutely unique. When I return next year I will be doing a tour with her on Sinan the great architect. Such passion and how endearing is she with cats.

We had two nice days with Mine, and both were excellent. She was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgable. We learned far more about Istanbul in these two days than we ever could have on our own. I would highly recommend Mine to all guests visiting her city.
