Fantastic Tour with Muhammet İşin! - The Sophia Mosque tour in Turkey was amazing, thanks to our fantastic guide, Muhammet İşin. He was detailed, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor, making the tour both informative and fun. Muhammet not only shared deep insights into the mosque's history and architecture but also gave us great tips on local attractions and recommended some excellent places to eat. If you're visiting Turkey, this tour is a must. Muhammet İşin's expertise and humor made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Great man - I gladly recommend this guide as he is really knowledgable, friendly and speaks very good english. He approached us by the Hagia Sophia when we were in panic mode seeing the queue. He clearly explained the deal and once agreed he gave us not only the great experience of the Hagia Sophia but also deep dive into humanity, religions and Turkiye history. During the guided tour he never gave us feel of rushing and made sure all our needs were met. He's competent and charming person. Don't even consider too long.

Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern tour - Muhammet is very knowledgeable, engaged and friendly. We toured the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. He had everything pre-arranged so there was no waiting in line. We would highly recommend him and use his services again

Enriching, engaging experience - This was my second tour with Muhammet and he was as extraordinary as the first time I visited with my husband. I wanted my children to experience Hagia Sofia with his added history of the mosque and of the country. Muhammet’s knowledge of Turkey, its culture, and religious history together with his kind and engaging personality really enriched our experience. They were spelled bound. He answered all our questions and never made us feel rushed. I highly recommend that you skip the line and book a private tour with Muhammet. It’s worth every euro!

First time in Türkiye and won’t be my last! - This was a once in a lifetime trip for me and I am so glad that I was able to have such a knowledgeable tour guide to not only tell my family and I about the tour we were on but the history of Türkiye as well! I would recommend the private tour to anyone who really wants to deep dive into the history of the site but Türkiye as well! 10/10!

Great tour guide - Our guide was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We hadn't planned to hire a guide, but we were very glad that we did, as it added a lot to our understanding and enjoyment of the Hagia Sophia. He did a great job of engaging and including our kids.

Perfectly tailored tour - We had a superb time with Muhammet. We were more than happy to spend time discussing, theorising and debating all aspects of the history of the area and its people prior to entering the Hagia Sophia. Muhammet was friendly and knowledgeable in offering his own understandings and interpretations - highly recommended!

Absolutely fabulous! - We had Muhammet as our guide to Hagia Sophia private tour. We were among the first to enter in the morning when gates opened - an experience we would highly recommend - to enjoy the amazing building before it gets crowded! And even more we would recommend having Muhammet as your guide - perfect balance between wider historical context and fine details, all linked together and presented in a captivating manner. Truly enjoyed it!
