Me and my husband took two tours with Salih and both were wonderful. We took 'secret tour' and 'two continent tour'. The old turkish houses and the tea house were wonderful. Salih is a wonderful guide. very easy going and informative. We thank him for getting the taste of the best baklava in Istanbul and the authentic sheesha experience. The... More

We took three tours with Salih - Istanbul Heritage, Secrets of Istanbul and Istanbul on Two Continents after reading positive reviews on Trip Adviser. We cannot speak highly enough of Salih, his enthusiasm and knowledge of the history and culture of this amazing city. We were not only treated to the major tourist sites but had the opportunity to visit... More

We participated in Taste of Turkey on Two Continents Tour last Friday and Istanbul Heritage last Saturday - both tours were amazing. The guide Salih was extremely skilled and took us on a wonderful tour with many different flavors of Turkish cuisine and walks through parts of Istanbul you've never seen. These were absolutely the best tour I've done. I... More

Having read the positive TA reviews for My Local Guide I booked myself the Secrets tour and it exceeded all expectations. I cannot imagine there being a more personable and knowledgeable guide than Salih. My sightseeing experience was greatly enhanced by Salih's historical and cultural insights into this amazing city, its culture and people. The tour was well paced, relaxed... More

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

We've taken many food tours in the past in different European cities and I must say this one was one of the best. We were there with our 22 year old son and there was another American younger couple. Salih is a very "cool" guy (as my son describes him) and took us to places that we would have never... More
