Really good time with Fatih

The tour was as pleasant as interesting thanks to Fatih ! Small group, full of anecdotes and places visited where I didn’t dare to go by myself….. and great tea as well :)) Recommend 100%

spiritual & hospitable Istanbul

The tour was super nice! Very calm, good pace. We saw some beautiful, peaceful places and even morr importantly learned a lot about islamic traditions and values. At multiple stops we got some tea/water from welcoming people. I recommend to ask questions yourselfes to make the tour more interesting.

Just what I was looking for

Our guide was gracious, well prepared, and committed to his topic. He managed very well, even in the pouring rain. He showed us beautiful mosques, introduced us to experts on Islam, and provide provided lovely refreshments along the way. Highly recommended.

Hospitality at its best

Fatih, our guide, gave his best, as same as the other people he introduced to us: Turkey is definitely among the country where feeling welcome is part of the journey. Thank you all

Very interesting tour to go under the surface

Fatih was a great guide, explaining us about the traditions in Islam, always open for questions and trying his best to explain his own spiritual experience. Istanbul is a fantastic city and this tour is great as a complementary way to learn besides the obvious touristic stuff and the main attractions.

Different perspective

The tour with Fatih has been very interesting and gave us a different perspective to discover the city and its heritage and culture. We have learn much about islam spiritual side having the opportunity to visit places that we would never discovered in another way.
