We feel very fortunate and would recommend him to all. He was patient and responsive to the undoubtedly variable needs we tourists present. He is equally knowledgeable about the affairs of Topkapi or Greek mythology expressed in the rich display of sculpture, ceramics and sarcophagi. And he welcomes questions, even debates, about the drivers of the flow of the deep rich history here. Tours by Locals, Granada: See 104 reviews, articles, and 63 photos of Tours by Locals, ranked No.259 on Tripadvisor among 259 attractions in Granada. His knowledge went well beyond guidebooks, adding a distinct Turkish perspective on the rich history of Istanbul. He knows well and interacts with the other guides, workers, restaurant staff, and shop owners, as he has been doing this for 27 years. Everywhere he was ahead of the crowds, and as a guide was able to purchase tickets that gave advanced access. Umit met us at our hotel near the Galata tower, led us on a tram ride to the Old City and then a well-paced passage through the old city jewels: Haiga Sophia, the Blue Mosque, th Hippodrome (including the Obelisks, Serpent Column and German Fountain), Topkapi (with a stop for peaceful (pre-cruise ship arrivals) garden tea), (later lunch at a favorite café), the Archeological museum, the Basilica Cistern, and then onto the Grand Bazaar). Every place you review, photograph, add, edit, or provide additional info for on Google Maps earns you points toward unlocking something new.
