Best Istanbul Guide with PERFECT Spanish!!! Know Top-rated Treasures Your City Has ⭐️ - If you are looking for a guide who speaks perfect Spanish and who fully knows Istanbul Murat is the guide!!! In addition to the tourist places I take us to the most spectacular restaurants that the city has, especially those that go to the locals. Meet the BEST Baklavas factory!!!! He was extremely careful with the planning, according to everything we wanted to know. We needed many more things, so we are already planning a next trip to show us the rest of your city. Istanbul deserves at least 7 days with Murat is a 10 out of 10!!!

Best day in Istanbul - We had an incredible experience with Murat as our tour guide in Turkey, who took us to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. It felt like walking in a movie! He was so nice and friendly, making the tour enjoyable for all of us, including our three boys. We felt as though we were accompanied by a longtime friend and it was the best day we spent in Turkey by far. Highly recommend!

Excellent guide with amazing knowledge and Passion - Murat was amazing. He was our guide today for a private tour with my family. He is professional showing up on time with everything well planned. He was extremely accommodating to the needs of my family. He also knew all the details required to make our visits smooth and comfortable. I would recommend him for a family or couples visiting Turkey.

Visit Istanbul with Murat - Totally recommended to visit Istanbul with Murat, a close, attentive, kind person. We took the tour of the old part with him, my mother, my aunt, my niece and I and we were super happy, he speaks Spanish perfectly and knows the history of the city very well, we learned super interesting things and had a great day. He also addressed all of our concerns several days before our arrival. Thank you for teaching us so much in such a short time. A hug and I hope we meet again!

JUST PERFECT - Murat accompanied us for 1 day of our trip. If we had known how great it is to get to know Istanbul with him, we would have hired him for the three days of our trip. Attentive, friendly, with a perfect level of Spanish and infinite patience with our 7-year-old daughter. It transmits the information in a pleasant, simple way, making it super interesting. A 10 in all aspects!!!!

In Depth Key Istanbul Must Sees: Perfect - By far one of the best private guided tours I have had around the globe. Extremely knowledgeable, not only with regards to the sights seen, but also as to the overall history behind the sights, city and country. Fascinating explanations and great at planning and pacing of the overall tour. I would (and will) definitely book this tour again for different sights the next time I am in Istanbul. ¡Muchas gracias por todo, Murat!
