Perfect experience - Muhammet was the best tour guide ever. We had a private tour with him to the basilica cistern and then he was available and we went to the Hagia Sophia mosque. He was so knowledgeable and professional and guided us with all his knowledge. He then took us to a reputable carpet store where we bought a beautiful one and then to an off the beaten path Turkish restaurant with a view of the Asian continent while sitting in the European continent. Only use Muhammet as your guide. You’ll have the best time and will learn so much!

Awesome Guided Tour of the Basilica Cistern - I wish we had more time in Istanbul to visit other historical sites with Muhammet. He was absolutely great at teaching us about the history of the underground water reservoir and the surrounding area. Muhammet is an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable and kind. And as an added bonus, he is also good at taking photos and videos :))) My husband and I are very grateful to him for the memorable experience he helped us create.

Muhammet is the guide to choose for your memorable Istanbul trip. - I would choose this guide as he is really knowledgable friendly speaks very good english. He will fill you in with very good information and history of the city and any landmark you choose to visit. He is a very good choice for families couples or any single person. He really does captivate your attention the way he explains things makes everything so interesting for any listener be it an adult or a child. You can trust his judgment that he will take you to the best places in Istanbul. I have already chosen him twice and have intentions of choosing him again if I visit Istanbul. I would give him a 10/10.

Breathtaking Basilica Cistern - We loved this tour. Our guide, Muhammet İşin, did a fantastic job setting the historical context of the Basilica Cistern. It is a breathtaking way to spend an hour or so in Istanbul. We highly recommend the experience.

Best experience - We was in Turkey for the first time and I had a recommendation to take a tour with Muhammat in Istanbul. We are a rather difficult couple, we don't like large groups, we are looking for a flexible schedule, we want to visit places less accessible to tourists and I can say that Muhammat exceeded all our expectations. He was a very good host, we felt all along that we were like his family, he knew how to gently convince us not to miss important objectives. The information he has is impressive and the way he conveys it is very easy. We can't wait to return to Turkey to meet him again.

The best experience in Istanbul- this is a must do. - Our guide was exceptional, he was early, incredibly knowledgeable, took great care to show us the hidden gems in the cistern, and went out of his way to take great photos of us. It was incredible!

Great guide with amazing photo skills - Had an hour to kill and we wanted to see Basilica Cristen, Who Do We Want to Call? Muhammet!! As with previous tours, he sent us clear instruction and was already in the meeting place earlier than the time we scheduled. He was sitting by the side of the road enjoying Turkish tea from a friend around the neighbourhood. This is also what makes him so special, Muhammet knows everybody. This time, I was with my adult daughter and we did not have much time as we need to move to another place. But we were well pleased with the experience. Not only that Muhammet was very thorough in his explanation he was also very good at taking our pictures and knowing the right place and time. It was short but super tour that we enjoyed very much.

Best Guide In Istanbul! - What an excellent trip. Muhammet was an incredible guide. We happened across Muhammet by accident and we were so blessed to find him. When you tour the sights I’m of Istanbul they are beautiful, photo worthy, and so enjoyable. However, with a guide you appreciate them so much more once you understand the history and wonderful stories. Turkey is a country with so much history and to truly appreciate Istanbul you should hire a guide. Our only regret was that we didn’t keep Muhammet with us all week. He is truly the best guide in Istanbul. Until we meet again 🏰
