Excellent super professional tourguide

Muhammet was highly recommended from a friend who has a lot of travel experience and she was defenitly spot on. He collected us from our hotel with super comfortable transportation with bottles of water for everyone in the group etc. Since he started the tour he made everyone feel super at ease as he is a very charming and attentive person with the children and elders of the group. We first went to Pierre Loti there he explained to us everything about the place the golden horn etc with his ipad. Then from there we went to Besiktas area and visited Ortakoy mosque it was beautiful and by the way he is a great photographer too. Then he kindly made us try kumpir which was yummy. From there we crossed the beautiful Istanbul bridge and saw the most amazing sights of the Bosphorus. He then took us to Camlica hill and mosque. That was just mesmerising. The mosque is impressive from the outside and inside too. He is so interesting to listen to he does really captivate your attention even the children are super interested. Then we went to Beykoz area to Yoros Castle and we saw the most amazing sunset and last bridge opening towards the black sea. It was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this tour as you will see so much and there is no better guide than Muhammet to accompany and guide you on this amazing journey. So do book this european/asian tour it is well worth it .
