Fener-Balat Walking Tour by Art Historian
Welcome to my tour I'm Kubra. 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.

Kubra is a great guide. She is a great storyteller and was very engaging. Her stops and explanations are well timed and thought out.
It covers an interesting, less traveled part of the city. It is a must do.
