Superb tour! - We found Hasan by chance and what a great stroke of luck! We had a very informative tour of the Hagia Sophia. He took us around and explained everything with humour and detail. He had a spare scarf for me and even found a stormtrooper for the boys in the marble. Due to having a guide as good as Hasan we all enjoyed the historic sight and learnt a lot. Thanks Hasan!

A very special guide. - Hassan is both an excellent guide and a superb example of a person who build bridges between different nationalities and religious faiths, at a time when these skills are much needed. He speaks excellent English and has a great sense of humour. Highly recommended.

Excellent Experience - We had 2 days in Istanbul while on a cruise and had a rough idea of what we wanted to see. While looking at the large queues to get into the Hagia Sophia (around 45 mins) we were approached by Hasan. He offered a skip the line tour and we took him up on the offer. Best decision we made. Hasan was very friendly, spoke excellent English and gave us a very informative tour of the mosque. We would definitely not have had the same experience doing this on our own. I would highly recommend Hasan as a tour guide and if we get the chance to visit beautiful Istanbul again will definitely book other tours with him.
Thanks Hasan

Hasan is the guy! - We met with Hasan by coincidence, but the positive tone was set immediately. We, a family of four, decided to engage him for the whole day. First of all, Hasan made sure that we managed to see several attractions within limited time. But at the same time we did not feel like missing out on anything. Rather the opposite. His knowlegde made the tours really interesting and worthwhile. He also made room for lunch and pausees. At last he gave us several good recommandations for the rest of the stay. By best recommandatons to Hasan.

Great experience - Hasan is an extremely kind, precise, and professionally impeccable person. We learned a lot of information from him, and it was one of the best experiences of our vacation. We chose a one-hour program at the Hagia Sophia. Important: Hasan speaks excellent English! Thank you for the experience!

A Day We'll Never Forget – Thanks to Our Amazing Guide - The tour was incredible! Our guide bought the tickets in advance and advised us to get to the Hagia Sophia early. We were almost first in line to enter, and there were no crowds inside. The guide was immensely knowledgeable and shared information in a way that made everything very interesting. His English was impeccable.
After visiting the Hagia Sophia, we went to the Basilica Cistern—what a great experience! A tour of Galata and the Taksim district followed, rounding off an amazing day.
Thank you for a day we’ll never forget. Your tour was truly unforgettable!

A guy who knows history - We were standing outside Haga Sophia to determine of we wanted to stand in line for the cheaper ticket or choose the more expensive ticket online. The best option walked up to us and it was Hasan :). He had a great vibe, was very enthousiastic and a good sense of humor. Very broad knowledge of the rich history of the Haga Sophia. We would definitely recommend Hasan!

Thanks Hasan! ❤️ - Hasan approached us as we were about to join the queue for the Hagia Sophia; he explained that he could provide a guided tour and we could also skip the queue with him, he also sorted a head covering for my Mum free of charge. His knowledge & humour enhanced the visit for us immeasurably, so we would very much encourage anyone to seek him out! The Hagia Sophia story is a remarkable one; Hasan explained it brilliantly to us and we came away enriched. Highly recommend! :)

Positive Experience - We just returned from Istanbul and during our stay we were fortunate to meet Mr Hasan. His tour of the mosque was very thorough and his demeanor throughout the tour was friendly, and respectful. Don’t hesitate in contracting his services while you’re there
