Day out visiting Mosques, Bosphorus cruise, Grand Bazaar, with tour guides in Istanbul collected and returned from hotel
Thank you very much for your precious review. We are really glad and honored to read you spend a good time in Turkey. We hope to see you again. Best regards
Excellent guide. (Murat) Attentive, friendly and cultured. A 10. In one day he showed us and explained the best of Istanbul with patience, know-how and sympathy.
During COVID, many of the crowds were gone but the museums remained open and my family and I wanted someone to guide us around and provide the history of what we visited. Kadir Küçükeren did a wonderful job for us and really made a great trip even better for all of us. He was born and raised in Istanbul and has been a guide since his University days. It was obvious he really enjoyed his work and there was one part of the Topkapi Palace that had only recently been opened to the public and he was just as excited as we were to explore it! If you find yourself looking for someone to provide an excellent background to the history that is steeped into the city, look no further than Mr. Kadir Küçükeren.
Kadir was a very knowledgeable tour guide, he had many great insights and provided an excellent experience for my family. He scheduled a timely itinerary and let us take our time with great flexibility. We saw many sights such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, the underground water systems and the Grand Bazaar were each amazing sights. He had many tips to bring us to places a tourist would never know about and even helped get us discounts at the spice Bazaar, a shop where he himself shops at. I would highly recommend him as he is funny and also famous in Istanbul.
<p>We had Numan as our guide and he could not have been more kind and helpful<br/> He had a good knowledge of all the antiquities, we were able to jump the queues but go at our own pace. One of our party had a problem with his knee so Numan was very thoughtful as to the routes he took and didn't mind stopping for coffee and cake:<br/> Numan also made some really good recommendations as to where to eat and how to negotiate the tram system and the Grand Bazzaar<br/> We would thoroughly recommend this tour and Numan as a guide</p>
