Hi ! I am Nadir . I can describe myself as a very friendly, easy going, fun, tenacious,helpful guy :) I am a licensed spanish tour guide. I am looking forward to meeting new people on my tour :)
The essential tour of Istanbul!
Istanbul is architecturally one of the most interesting cities in the world . Its inhabitants live between walls built by Byzantine emperors and pray in Ottoman-era mosques. Istanbul, a city of three cultures and surrounded by seas, offers visitors much to see.
On this tour you will also receive advice and recommendations so that you can enjoy your stay in the best possible way.
What will we see during the tour?
The guide reserves the right to make small modifications to the tour if he considers it necessary, either due to the celebration of an exceptional event, due to the closing days of the places visited or for weather reasons. Mosques are closed on Friday mornings, the Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays, and Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING!!! Although this tour is mainly done outside the monuments, if circumstances allow, we frequently enter mosques or tombs. To enter these places it is required to wear appropriate clothing, which consists of covered KNEES for men and women, and also covered SHOULDERS and HEAD for women. In some places they make scarves available, free of charge or at a cost. If you do not wear the appropriate clothing, the venue staff will deny access to the place and you will have to wait for the group outside.
ATTENTION CRUISERS🛳️🛳️🛳️you are welcome! This tour starts promptly at 10:30 at Sultanahmet Square. The reasonable time between the announced docking time of a cruise ship and the start of the tour must be a minimum of 2 hours. The disembarkation process in Istanbul and the distance between the port and the starting point of the tour also requires a lot of time as well as the use of public transportation with which newly arrived clients are usually not familiar. Therefore, this tour is not suitable for clients with a scheduled arrival time of 8:30 or later. If your boat plans to dock after that time, you do not have time to arrive. I ask you for responsibility. DO NOT book if you are not sure that you will arrive on time.
All this and much more!

IMPORTANT:
Book only if you are coming. This tour has limited places
A minimum number of participants is required to carry out the tour.
If for any reason you change your mind and cannot or do not want to attend, cancel the reservation through the confirmation email. If you cancel, you allow other people to participate and enjoy the tour. This is a professional tour. I ask you for the same responsibility that I offer you in my work.
MAXIMUM 6 PEOPLE PER RESERVATION OR GROUP: Group reservations of more than 6 people or reservations fragmented into several groups are not accepted. The reservation of several subgroups of more than 6 people will be canceled de facto, since there are daily limits to participate in the tour. For groups of more than 6 people I recommend hiring a private tour.
If groups of more than 6 people or in fragmented reservations are detected at the meeting point, the guide reserves the right to charge €10 per person at the beginning of the tour.
The pace of the tour is demanding. Istanbul is not a flat city and the tour involves walking intensively for at least 3 hours. It is not suitable for people with walking difficulties.
I hope you enjoy this tour!
You can find me at the main door of the Blue Mosque, look for THE WHITE UMBRELLA, right in the area where the benches are located
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
