Welcome to my tour This is Kubra and Yunus. I'm professional tour guide in Istanbul. I'am not an agency but a guide who wants you to have best experience while you are here at Istanbul
Having an education in Art History we wanted to show people all around the world about the city which we love.
That's why we've started tours in Istanbul in which we wish you to love this city as much as we do. Now if you are here in Istanbul or still making planning, join us to see Istanbul as we do, enjoy Istanbul as we do. Learn the culture, it's both dark and bright history hosting two empires that ruled the world.
We have a very important sentence for us here by Rumi the poet :
“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.”
This is the motto for Istanbul, it will welcome you just like in this sentence ! See you on the next tour.
Fantastic tour by Yunus - not boring at all, thoroughly engaging. Would highly recommend!
Kubra was informative and I would not have enjoyed walking around this area or know where to go if she wasn't around to put some context and background to what I was seeing. This neighborhood is wonderful diversification from old town sightseeing. There were a few steep climbs but doable (walk slowly) for everyone. Terribly hot time of the day to start though, but we were fortunate and the weather cooled down.
This is an interesting tour of a unique residential neighbourhood. Worth it!
Yunus is a great story teller. Not only is he knowledgeable about history, but he tells it in a very compelling way. He also paced the tour well, especially considering us all climbing hills in the hot sun. This is a great tour to find a new place to learn about Istanbul's long and diverse history. I highly recommend this tour with Yunus!
Kubra is an amazing guide. She speaks English fluently, is well prepared, kind and also extremely passionate. The tour has been great!
