Great guide. Very patient
Yunus is fantastic. The tour was more than interesting, Istanbul is beautiful and with such a history! We recommend this tour to everyone who visits Istanbul. Thanks again, Yunus!
Our family enjoyed the tour (despite the coronavirus restrictions). I highly recommend. In addition to the main tourist spots, a nice "Islam for dummies" is part of the tour.
Yunus was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, giving us insight into the culture and history of Istanbul and Turkey. Not only did we learn a ton, but we got to see the most popular sites in Istanbul including the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. I would definitely recommend this tour!
