Ali was kind, informative, and enjoyable. He was flexible to meet our needs and knew an impressive array of historical, political, architectural, and cultural context for all the famous sites in Sultanahmet. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to have the authentic old Instanbul experience and have lots of fun along the way

We (5 adults, 2 boys) enjoyed our tour with Ali. We spent 2 days touring the old city with him. He was very knowledgable and clearly explained the importance of the area and the major sites. He kept us on track in regards to time and was able to adjust our itinerary based on our interests. He also took us to great restaurants and food spots. In addition, he helped us plan other activities we wanted to do outside our tour: Turkish Bath, massage, Whirling Dervish show. We highly recommend booking your private tour with Ali.

I booked a full day tour with Ali for our small group of 11 people including myself from Lithuania. I want to thank Ali here for taking such great care of our group. Everyone in the group thinks they had a wonderful time with him and seemed to very much enjoy all the beer/food stops and having the more local touch on the tour. Especially special “Antep Baklava” that came all the way Gaziantep ( 1200kms far away) was the most delicious dessert we have ever tried thanks to Ali! Also, our group thinks Ali is a very intelligent person and extremely knowledgeable about the history,culture and politics of Istanbul. His English is perfect when describing everything.The long and short of it, Book Ali as your guide, you won’t regret!
