View on Google MapsA wonderfully warm and attentive licensed guide who adapted smoothly to a last-minute schedule—many thanks. The Hagia Sophia tour was professional and clear, and Muhammet patiently and thoughtfully answered every beginner’s question. He even spent an extra hour with us visiting shops and helping us find an excellent handmade Turkish carpet—an especially memorable experience for a brief stop in Istanbul.
Very interesting tour which allowed us to skip the ticket line and learn information we wouldn't have gained from information boards or audio guide. Very friendly and not too lengthy. Would recommend!
Muhammet was a terrific guide. So knowledgable that after many visits even I learnt something new. First time visitors n the group had a great introduction to Istanbul history as well as the Hagia Sophia. Would definitely recommend.

I visited Hagia Sofia with my family and friends. We had a private tour with Muhammet Işin who was extremely knowledgeable and we saw things that we would not had we not had Muhammet taking us through it. We had a really enjoyable experience.
5 I highly recommend guide Muhammet Ișin. Professional, just right — neither too much nor too little; he provides interesting information you won't find in brochures. Pleasant, helpful, and speaks English well.
Spot-on at 9am Erdem arrived to take me on a tour of the city to see many of the Highlights. I have a listing of what I wish to achieve and I show it to him. Away we go and it was discussion all day with stops for coffee, lunch and a beer by a marina on the Asian side. This young man is dedicated to the work he does and he does it so well. He gives his clients options with an explanation and this is so good. I see him going far in his profession and his attitude to please with good retention of detail will help him so much. I enjoyed all the sites I saw but what I particularly liked was introducing me to the world of the ordinary city dwellers and good examples of this is where we visited for food and drinks. I was relaxed throughout. Easy to get on with, relaxed and yes dependable. Cheers, Fraser.
Our tour with Mohamed at Hagia Sophia was charming, funny and detailed. We got wonderful insights into the eventful history and architecture of the World Heritage Site. It's worth it!
Mohammed was so knowledgeable about the history oh Hagia Sofia, Istanbul, and Turkey itself! Highly recommend him for every tour
We had Mohammed as guide and it was an excellent experience. He was very knowledgeable and well versed in the history of the building and the city as a whole. His command of English was excellent and we could easily follow his stories and explanations. Mohammed also was extremely polite throughout and accepted payment only after completion of the tour to our satisfaction, making it a highly trustworthy experience as well. Thank you!!
Mohammet was an exceptional tour guide who turned our visit to the Hagia Sofia Mosque in Istanbul into a captivating journey through time. His deep knowledge of history, paired with a warm and engaging storytelling style, brought every corner of the mosque to life. From architectural marvels to hidden historical gems, Mohammet shared fascinating insights that made us see the site in a whole new light. His passion for the culture and heritage of Istanbul was infectious, and he patiently answered every question with enthusiasm and expertise. We left not only with beautiful memories but with a richer understanding of the city’s layered past. If you’re visiting Istanbul and want a truly enriching experience, I can’t recommend Mohammet highly enough. He’s a gem of a guide—professional, personable, and profoundly knowledgeable. 🌟👏
