Glorious trip to the top sights - Yasemin (our guide) was hugely knowledgeable and gave us lovely tips for our four day trip. The bonus was she showed us the best Baklava and Borek! Huge thanks, you offer a very efficient service.

Amazing Muhammet - Muhammet came highly recommended and he did not disappoint for one second of the time we spent with him. He delivered a fascinating explanation of the history of Istanbul and when we were visiting, its beautiful and historic sites. He knew absolutely everything we could possibly have wanted to know about them. We will definitely book him again when we return on our next trip. Thank you, Muhammet for making our day so special. 🧿

Unforgettable experience - Muhammet was fantastic! He showed us Istanbul’s top attractions—from Hagia Sophia to the Grand Bazaar—while sharing fascinating history that brought each place to life. His passion, knowledge, and warm personality made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Pottery Shop in historic Istanbul - We had booked a private guided tour and Q-Arts ceramics was our last stop. Such a charming shop full of beautiful works of art. They served us pomegranate tea and we watched master artisan Said make a teapot on a kick wheel. They let us take a turn on the wheel as well. It was a wonderful experience and we had a few souvenirs from our experience shipped home. It was a fantastic way to end our day in Istanbul’s Old Town.

Amazing art in ceramics!! - Muhammet is a very well informed tour guide and if you want to see the very best in both exclusive pottery art and carpet you need to take this tour. The quality will speak for itself and the information provided, even if you do not acquire a ceramic item, is well worth the tour!!!! I’ll bet you get a keepsake!

First hand experience in Istanbul - The excursion was very exciting and insightful at the same time. We very much enjoyed our guide who was extremely interesting and have us a lot of historical background about Turkey and Istanbul. Although we had only one hour tour, we managed to go through so many things apart from Ceramics & Tiles & Pottery (Hagia Sophia, Seven Hills, etc.). Very much recommended !

A day a remember in Istanbul - I had a great sunny Saturday in Istanbul because of Muhammet. He was my history teacher, told me how Istanbul become what is today, bring me to the Asian part of the city, show me all the big town from the highest point. It was amazing, I really recommend you to ask Muhammet everything about Istanbul and he will tell you a very beautiful and really story. From Istanbul with love!❤️
