Enjoyable, friendly, knowledgeable - Metin was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were the first ones in the door at the mosque thanks to him. He even offered a great local place for lunch after. It was an enjoyable tour.

Fantastic Tour with Metin! - Do not hesitate to book a tour with Metin! Our family group of six adults toured Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace with him and we all agreed he is one of the best guides we have ever had! He is professional, intelligent, and engaging in a way that makes these sites come alive in a very special way. He encouraged our questions, which were many, and impressed us with his depth of knowledge. Do yourself a favor, book a tour with him!

Hagia Sophia tour - Metin is a very knowledgeable, friendly and personable. He is a wealth of information and will show and tell you about things you won't see or hear about on the big group tours. Highly recommended.

Great tour! - We had a wonderful full day tour with Metin. He was extremely knowledgable of the city and provided us with a great trip to many of the local sites. This was a highlight of our trip to Istanbul!

Great experience - Metin did a fantastic job on our tour. He was knowledgeable and kind. He was able to answer all questions and didn’t pressure or push us through the tour.

Aya Sofia Tour - Metin gave us a wonderful tour of Aya Sofia. He explained the history of the mosque, how it was bulit and how it changed over the years. He pointed out mosaics and other things of interest that we would have missed had we done the tour by ourselves. Highly recommended!

Overcoming trust issues getting a guide at the site. - Metin was informative, engaging and entertaining! We skipped the line and learned things not in the tour books. Money well spent given the ridiculously long line even before the place opened.

private guided tour of Hagia Sofia, the Cistern and old Istanbul. - Metin Koca was a fantastic guide: his knowledge was interesting and entertaining, as well as historical. The most important part for me was that he enthusiastically shared his love and respect for the Hagia Sofia, the Cistern and Istanbul . I came away with such a different knowledge of Turkey and its people, as well as a deeper understanding the long and complicated evolution of this beautiful city straddling two continents.

Great tour, fast track highly recommended - Great tour! The Hagia Sophia is amazing but there's a huge line and we didn't have to line up at all. We even got in before it filled up with tourists and got to witness the almost empty interior. The tour itself was great. I'm not usually a fan of yours but the information was very interesting, exactly what you'd want to know without being superfluous.

Probably the best tour guide I’ve ever had - If I could give 10 stars I would. It was my husband and my first trip to Istanbul. We didn’t want to take an organized tour, but rather one tailored to what we wanted to see. Metin listened to what we wanted and absolutely delivered. He is a genius at getting through (or avoiding altogether) lines. Impressive knowledge of history. He taught us how to navigate the local transportation. He basically made our day stress and hassle free. Exactly what we requested. If you’re looking for a guide that will do what you want and give you a delightful day he is the guide for you. Thank you Metin. We’ll never forget this magical day.
