Wonderful! Very enlightening tour . Higly recommended.
The tour of the beautiful city of Istanbul was wonderful. Fatih was a very polite and attentive guide, with a gift for clearly sharing his vast knowledge of a city so rich in history and events significant to humanity. His enthusiasm for his work is remarkable. Having this kind of support made all the difference in my time here and in my understanding of what there is to see and experience. We visited major tourist sites but also—as a bonus—quieter spots and local gems. I was also able to benefit from his expertise regarding the other cities I plan to visit in Turkey. I highly recommend this experience to others and wish him continued success and a prosperous life.

Enthusiastic and educational
We had a guided tour in Istanbul with Fatih and his guiding was a genuinely positive and educational experience. Fatih was exceptionally well-read and knowledgeable, bringing the city’s history and culture to life with real depth. Just as importantly, the enthusiasm was inspiring and contagious, and questions were always welcomed. We came away having learned a great deal and seeing Istanbul with new eyes. Highly recommended for anyone wanting more than a surface-level visit.

How does a free tour work?
Booking costs nothing. At the end, each person gives the guide what they think is fair for the experience: it's a voluntary tip.
