For those who love secluded and peaceful places - My girlfriend and I went for an evening walk. Our guide has excellent knowledge of history. He told it as if he were telling a story. I especially loved the hidden spots. My girlfriend loved the birdhouses.

A Magical Evening in Istanbul - After a fantastic food tour with this operator, my son and I booked the Istanbul Evening Walking Tour – Hagia Sophia and Photo Stops with Ferdi again — and it was just as impressive. This time, it was just the two of us, which made the experience feel even more special and personal. Exploring Istanbul in the evening was absolutely beautiful — fewer crowds, softer light, and a peaceful atmosphere around landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome. We were able to enter the Blue Mosque, which was a highlight. Seeing it in the calmer evening setting made it even more memorable. Although the itinerary was already rich, Ferdi went beyond it. He showed us additional spots that weren’t even listed — places that truly caught my interest. He clearly extended his service beyond expectations, making sure we saw and understood more than what was promised. What stands out about Ferdi is not only his deep knowledge of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman history, but how engaging and clear he is. His English is excellent, he welcomes questions, and he explains history in a way that connects the dots rather than just listing dates. The entire evening felt relaxed and stress-free. No navigating, no rushing — just walking, learning, and appreciating Istanbul at its most beautiful hour. After joining two tours with this operator and guide, I can confidently say they are professional, passionate, and truly dedicated to giving guests a meaningful experience. Highly recommended — especially if you get Ferdi as your guide

It was unforgettable !!! - I joined this evening tour and truly loved it. Seeing the Sultanahmet Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque, and Topkapı Palace from outside under the evening lights was wonderful, and the guide’s stories helped me look at these places from a completely new perspective. The tea treat at Little Hagia Sophia Mosque at the end was a very thoughtful touch and added a warm, friendly atmosphere to the experience. It was both enjoyable and informative—a beautiful way to feel the spirit of Istanbul. I would definitely recommend it.
