A Perfectly Personalized Tour with Taha - I recently went on a private tour with Taha, and it was truly an incredible experience! He made me feel completely comfortable from the start. Taha was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area, answering all my questions with patience and enthusiasm. I loved how the tour was customized to my interests, allowing me to discover both popular spots and hidden gems. It was one of the best tours I've ever had, and I would highly recommend Taha to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure…

Excellent tour with the best guide Taha! - Taha is an excellent guide. Perfect English. We saw all the major sites in the Old City on an efficient but not rushed schedule. Highly recommend the tour and this particular guide, especially if it’s your first trip to Istanbul!

Amazing tour of Istanbul with Taha!! - I booked this tour for my elderly aunt and uncle who wanted a relaxed tour. Taha made the tour easy going for them, indeed he started communicating with us prior to the tour on WhatsApp to make sure that everyone’s needs were catered for. Taha was very polite, agreeable, flexible, and very easy going! He gave me the reassurance that my aunt and uncle would be well looked after and indeed they had a wonderful experience as they got to see Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Arasta Bazaar, Hippodrome and Basilica Cistern as well as being given good knowledge on the landmarks by Taha - they couldn’t have wished for a better person to guide them. Would really recommend Taha for any walking tours across Istanbul. Thank you Taha for your wonderful support 😊

He was very kind and patient with us, answered every question in detail. Very professional. His answers included a lot of historical overview which sort of made our tour more complete and helped us put new knowledge in perspective. All together the best day we spent in Istanbul.
