We booked the 3 hour tour of the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Grand Mosque. Our guide Cenker was absolutely brilliant, full of interesting facts and knowledge. He made the tour feel very personal even though the group size was around 14 people. We would highly recommend a tour with Megapass and especially Cenker! Great job and a Turkish treasure.

Had an amazing experience with our knowledgeable and engaging tour guide Arda (Arthur) who is a supervisor of these tours with much experience. He was so accommodating and flexible when we got our tour times mixed up, and found a solution immediately. He is a wealth of knowledge and I’d 100% recommend this tour.

Guide gave us a fantastic tour with lots of enthusiasm of the Blue Mosque, the cisterns, and the Hagia Sophia. We had Bluetooth headphones, so we could hear easily. He interacted with all the guests, especially the little kids, which was nice. He kept us on schedule despite a large group and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.

Guide was a patient and thorough guide. Lots of interesting facts and history about Istanbul. He did a great job herding a diverse group of visitors.

Thoughtful, funny and well researched is how I would describe the tour. It is much better to do the tour with someone else obtaining tickets and explaining the history than to try and do it yourself. It’s worth the money especially if you get someone fun like Giancarlo.
Peter D
Guide was a gracious, knowledgeable and funny guide through the sites today. My wife and I really enjoyed all of the history and stories that he shared throughout the tour. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to discover Istanbul’s main sites. Thanks Cenker!!

Great way to see the 3 sites (blue mosque, basilica cistern and Hagia Sophia) in Istanbul. Ali was a great guide. Patient and good natured, good info about all 3. Enjoyed the tour. Thanks.

I joined a tour led by Ali to the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia. It was very impressive also due to Ali‘s knowledge he shared with us. We could see everything and even the waiting times in the queue didn’t get boring as Ali was telling us about the history of this fabulous city. Thus, I can only recommend 😊
