Free walking tours in Şanlıurfa

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.

Es war sehr interessant mit Fatih durch die Altstadt zu laufen, er hat mir alles gezeigt und war sehr kompetent.

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.

A nice leisurely intro to the rich history of Urfa. We visited all the main sights and got some more extra recommendations. Wonderful time with Fatih!

La experiencia en sanliurfa ha sido fantástica y mi guía insuperable en amabilidad y profesionalismo. La experiencia con Guruwalk ha sido inmejorable. Felicitaciones.

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% !!

Great guide, we enjojed the tour very much. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us arround :)

Thank you Fatih for showing us around, it was really interesting to get deeped in Urfa’s history, and thank you for your advices and patience !

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 was great adventure. Fatih was really helpful, nice and competitive. I recommend him, totally.

Mehmet is a very good person, very knowledgeable and helpful. It was very pleasant to discover many anecdotes of this splendid city, thanks to him.

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!

Professional funny knowledgeable and someone who can discuss world and local politics with you! If you want to know Urfa and the history of this place, you want to hang with Mehmet!

The walk was quite helpful. I learned more about Sanliurfa city historical

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.

Highly recommended tour! Fatih is a great tour guide- he does not only show you the most interesting sites in Urfa but also tells you about life in Turkey and the East. Moreover, he was really thoughtful and gave us lots of useful advise for the next stops on our journey Mardin and Diyarbakır.

I never met such a touristic guide. Very knowledgeable but also helpful. He knows a lot and not like traditional guides where they just repeat same stories. You feel how spontaneous he is. He knows all the region and not just Ulfa where we had the tour. I Recommend him to everyone

My tour with Fatih was educational, enlightening and enjoyable. He has a lot of information about the area and more importantly experience to communicate across cultures. I highly recommend.
