It was okay. I felt like he was a bit pushy on some of his views, which made it quite awkward at times with the group. We did visit some nice places that made it worthwhile. He also made comments on removing reviews he didn’t like, so hopefully this stays.

Response from Walkytalky
First of all, when you make an unfair comment, it does not mean that it will stay there forever just because you want it. Secondly, everything was perfect till the end when it comes to tipping you tip 10 euro for two people and when l ask a little more, I am the bad guy and deserve three stars that is not fair. You kept me in an hour tailing you to the ATM. And then you want me to find another ATM, which doesn’t take commission. I did that too. You didn’t pay commission. And you gave me like €10 more. Which is still less than the minimum tip. This approach is not nice because I do the tour only for five people. It lasted around three hours. That’s not fair when you learn the value of what people do as a job you can understand me better.. when you behave like this of course I tell you that I will report it if you give me three stars. If you don’t like the circumstances, it is free to book the tour. It is also free to cancel the tour. More than 100 people gave me five stars with nice comments you know that it’s a nice tour you have the experience you don’t wanna pay in at the end. You’ll leave such a bad review because of your irresponsibility to have cash on you. It’s not my mistake

Halil war ein ausgesprochen gut informativer, unterhaltsamer, lebhafter Guide und ein Experte in den Archiven des osmanischen Reiches. Bei den verschiedenen Stationen auf der Tour Exkurse in seine Fachrichtung machen zu können, war sehr spannend. Jederzeit wieder! Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Great tour with Mustafa. He's knowledgeable, funny, and easy to talk to, and he showed me a side of the city you wouldn't find on your own. We went through the hidden parts of the Grand Bazaar, the book bazaar, and ended at Süleymaniye for sunset with rooftop tea over the Golden Horn. He answered all my questions and gave me good recommendations for places to eat. Felt safe and relaxed throughout. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn’t recommend Halil and his tour more highly. It was a highlight of our trip and will recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul. He goes above and beyond to take you to the most interesting places, his knowledge is brilliant, he answered all of our questions amd helped us to understand the rich history of the city. Definitely book!
