Free walking tours in Şanlıurfa

The free walking tour was really interesting and informative and we saw places that we would not have found by our own. Fatih is a kind and friendly person and he adapted the tour to our interests. We are glad the we decided to joyn :)

It was the most enjoyable morning. We went to places I never would have found by myself. Fatih has great English and a wonderfully clear accent. Perhaps most importantly, he has a great command of the relevant knowledge. It was a learning experience and for that I'm grateful. Thoroughly recommended!

We ended being the only people on this tour & it was great. We could ask whatever we wanted & were able to have a more general discussion also.

Fetih was a great guide. We are not “tour types” by nature, but my family and I really enjoyed this casual tour with Fetih. After traveling for a few weeks on our own, it was wonderful to have an English speaking guide to show us around, explain things about the city and culture, and answer our questions. He made a few great suggestions for coffee and food we would never have found on our own. It was just what we needed!

Great tour with Mehmet - visited all the key places in Urfa, including the Cave of Prophet Ibrahim as well as the Fish Lake and old city markets. Mehmet also provided a tour to Harran (on a seperate day) showing the well of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), the old Islamic University in Harran as well as the old beehive houses which were interesting. We also visited (at my request) the village of Eyupnebi which reportedly contain the tombs of Prophet Ayyub (and his wife) and Prophet Iliyas. Would definitely recommend.

Fatih gave me a personal walking tour as I was the only one. He is knowledgeable about the history and places to shop and eat. He took time after the our to have lunch and a coffee. Thanks so much.

This guide provided a well-informed and interesting tour. The places visited and information included were relevant and helped a great deal in understanding some of the Urfa culture and history. Mehmet Fatih was mindful of my needs and very accomodating. Despite the fact that there was only one person on the tour (me), and that he was not in the best of health he honoured his commitment with full enthusiasm and professionalism.

Faith is an exceptional tour guide. His English is very good and his knowledge of Urfa, history & culture is excellent too. The tour is a good orientation for the city and what it offers. Check out his other tours too. We are an older couple and found Fatih to be professional, polite, helpful and to go beyond what is necessary in everything he does. Definitely recommend.

We also did a full day trip with Mehmet, taking in Karahantepe, Soğmatur, Suayb and Harran, amongst others. A great way to see some of the fantastic ancient sites in the area with a friendly and very helpful guide. Highly recommended.

Even though I was the only one, Fatih was super excited to give the tour, had great knowledge about the city, the region and the kurdish people. He helped me buy stuff from the bazaar and went to lunch with me afterwards. A day well spend!

Mehmet was a champ for conducting the tour with only one person who showed up. Other times I have booked walking tours in second and third tiered cities the guides just don’t show up when it’s a small group. Great job Mehmet

Mr Fatih is extremely well-informed on the history and culture of the old city. He speaks English well, and is friendly and entertaining. I would highly recommend using him as your guide.

Fatih was amazing! As a solo traveler it was great having a guide to take you to see numerous places in magical Şanlurfa. He made sure to guide me around the city, its markets, the historical sites as well as the necropolis. It was a well rounded tour and I’m so thankful I came across Fatih’s knowledgeable and warm nature. Towards the end he took me back to my area and that was helpful as it was getting a bit dark. I recommend him 100% !!

Fatih's tour was very informative and interesting, and we enjoyed it very much! We found him very helpful and appreciated his suggestions for restaurants etc, and we liked listening to his stories about life in this region of Türkiye, too. We also went on another full-day tour with Fatih, so if you're looking to see some other sites in the area, do ask him about his other tours!

It’s the best place to get introduced to the city, and visit places that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Thank you, Dudu!

It was a very nice tour. Fatih showed me many places I think only local people know about and he gave me very interesting information about aspects of the Sanliurfa old town. We looked for (and may have found) the location of an old synogogue that was built near a mosque and a church which was an interesting part of the history of that part of the old town.
