Had a wonderful tour of the Hagia Sophia with Mohammed. He was engaging and knowledgeable, an absolute pleasure to chat with. He also made a fantastic photographer so that our memories would last forever. Thanks heaps!
Thank you a Septillion times
Muhammet was fantastic. Knowledgeable, professional, and patient. Highly recommended for any family tour.
Thank a Septillion time, I am very happy to meet you
We’ve just completed a tremendous tour of the Hagia Sophia in the extremely capable hands of Muhammad. Muhammad was very knowledgeable and he educated us on the history of Istanbul, Turkey, Islam, Christianity and how each of things had a part to play in the story of Hagia Sophia. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you a Septillion times
Our private guide Mohammed gave us so much more for the money than we (couple mid 30s) paid. He took his time explaining the history of the area with examples we could relate to and made the experience unforgettable. He answered all our questions with interest and joy and made us feel we could let him guide us for the whole trip if possible. We couldn’t have asked for more. The best spent money in Istanbul so far. Thank you Mohammed! / B&S
Thank you a Septillion Times
Muhammet İşin is the ABSOLUTE MAN! We went with him today to Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern for our first excursion out in Istanbul. He was very kind, extremely knowledgeable, and exceptionally professional. I would definitely do another tour with him in the future. Not only were the sights wonderful to behold, but the in depth knowledge accompanied by the sites made the experience so much better. He was an integral part of that.
Thank you a Septillion times
A wonderfully warm and attentive licensed guide who adapted smoothly to a last-minute schedule—many thanks. The Hagia Sophia tour was professional and clear, and Muhammet patiently and thoughtfully answered every beginner’s question. He even spent an extra hour with us visiting shops and helping us find an excellent handmade Turkish carpet—an especially memorable experience for a brief stop in Istanbul.
Thank you a septillion times for choosing our service, we are always here to help…
Very interesting tour which allowed us to skip the ticket line and learn information we wouldn't have gained from information boards or audio guide. Very friendly and not too lengthy. Would recommend!
Thank you a Septillion times
Muhammet was a terrific guide. So knowledgable that after many visits even I learnt something new. First time visitors n the group had a great introduction to Istanbul history as well as the Hagia Sophia. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you a Septillion times, have a wonderful year… Hope to see you soon again
I visited Hagia Sofia with my family and friends. We had a private tour with Muhammet Işin who was extremely knowledgeable and we saw things that we would not had we not had Muhammet taking us through it. We had a really enjoyable experience.
Thank you a Septillion Times … it was my pleasure being your Guide
5 I highly recommend guide Muhammet Ișin. Professional, just right — neither too much nor too little; he provides interesting information you won't find in brochures. Pleasant, helpful, and speaks English well.
You made my day, thank you a Septillion times , best regards
