Exemplary - We had done a group tour with Fatih last year on vacation here and it was a top notch experienced. My lady was recovering from surgery and we couldn't quite finish it. So we decided to contact him again and had a private tour this time with Fatih.
I cannot express enough how fantastic and knowledgeable he is. So personable and fun as well. Simply amazing. Both experiences were exemplary. We are so happy to have booked the private tour second, as he tailored it to introduce us to new experiences. And we had his knowledge and experience all day! He is a lot of fun.
By all means book a tour with him. I would highly suggest both options and we are so happy with our experience.

Tour of Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosques - I had a good experience.
The Fatih guide is extremely attentive and kind.
We faced an atypical day of a lot of queues, but the script was adapted and fulfilled the desired.

GREAT DAY TOUR OF ISTANBUL - I was in March in this fabulous city and I was lucky enough to have chosen this agency and as a guide Fatih! It was a fantastic tour, punctuality, professionalism and organization throughout! Fatih is very prepared and patient, we had lunch in a typical restaurant and ate well! 100% recommend this tour and this agency and Fatih as a guide who then accompanied us on the tour in Kapadoccia which was beautiful, we visited enchanting places!
