We took both the Heritage tour and the Secrets of Istanbul tour. Salih exceeded all our expectations. We cannot recommend him enough! He is very knowledgeable about history, culture, sites to see.... How filled us in on how to navigate the public transit system, the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar and took us to historically significant neighborhoods off the beaten... More

Took both Secrets and Heritage tour. Secrets was just the two of us and Salih. We went to a lot of places off the beaten track. While I would heartily recommend this tour, I would only do so if you have 4 or more days in Istanbul as you'll not have time otherwise to see the city highlights. Heritage tour... More

Based upon the wonderful reviews of Salih my wife and I booked a tour with him in February for our May trip to Istanbul. Two days before the tour I received an e-mail from him explaining that he was ill and that he had asked a colleague, Tolga, to conduct our tour. While my wife and I wish Salih a... More

Salih's tours proved to be the highlight of our small group of friends' two week trip to Istanbul; we did the Secrets and Heritage tours and both were equally entertaining and informative. Salih is disarmingly charming, laid back and thorough. Our group agreed he is a top notch guide who is able to weave his way through places which would... More

Salih is a very "cool" guy (as my son describes him) and took us to places that we would have never... More

Amazing walking tour. Salih our guide was extremely friendly. He told us each story behind the secrets of istanbul. We had lunch in a local restaurant and ate amazing turkish sweets!

Booked this with Salih after reading the reviews on trip advisor - having booked a different your with our hotel the day after - this your was far superior. Our tour guide Salih was a really nice guy -friendly and informative - we saw loads of great stuff, got great historical insights, tasted local treats, drank turkish tea, ate local... More

Perfect way to get your bearings and learn more about the history and people of this great city. The whole family enjoyed Salihs tour. The hidden spots were great and would never have been enjoyed without him. Thank you Salih :)

coming back from my second tour with Salih (secrets and two continents) i highly recommend to make a tour with him. He is very friendly and knows a lot of history and culture. Worthy every single euro.
