Hello Nuri, We wanted to thank you for your visit to the Basilica Cisterna — it was truly an incredible experience, very pleasant and super interesting. We liked the way you explained the whole story, always in a clear, engaging way and with many curiosities that made the visit even more special. The visit was very well conducted, with time to enjoy the space calmly, take photos and simply enjoy the place, which made all the difference. After the visit, we also loved the extra tips he gave us about other places to visit, activities to do in the city and suggestions of where to eat — it was really very friendly on his part and showed the care he has with the people he accompanies. Thank you for your sympathy, good energy and professionalism. It was a great pleasure to meet you and we definitely recommend it to everyone. A big thanks and all good!

It was a great experience with Nuri! He showed the wonderful would of the cicerone. The pictures he jad and history was great.

Excellent guide, very friendly. Nury knows the history of Istanbul very well and knows how to share it with his customers. I would therefore highly recommend Nuri.

We visited the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul with Nouri, and the discovery was really exciting. Built in the 6th century under Emperor Justinian, this huge underground cistern was once used to store the water that fed the imperial palace. Thanks to Nouri, the visit was very pleasant. He was able to adapt to our level of English: we were able to take our time, observe the details and better understand the history of this unique site. A memorable moment that allowed us to learn more about Byzantine engineering and the hidden treasures of Istanbul. Thank you, Nouri. I recommend

We had an excellent tour guide during our visit. He introduced us not only to the history of the Basilica Cistern, but also to the history of Istanbul as a whole. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us in such an interesting way. Greetings from Croatia!

The tour to the cistern was very interesting and more because our guide Nuri explained everything about its construction in great detail and shared with us information and photos that complemented the visit very well. He did it in English and Spanish because we are from Mexico and that gave him a bonus for us. Besides that he helped us avoid the line to enter Thank you so much to Nuri! Excellent guide I recommend
