Tour description

Our free walking tour will be through the old town.
We will visit Balıklıgöl and Urfa fortress. Then we are going to see Fırfırlı and Salahaddin-i Eyyubi Mosque. Both mosques have been built hundreds of years ago and are quite authentic.
Then, we will walk for about 15 minutes to get to 58 square. 58 square is in the right middle of the old town and we'll see historical Urfa houses while we get there. In 58 square we'll get to see Regi Church which is also called Saint Petrus and Saint Paulus church. 

If you get hungry while walking around the old town of the Urfa we can have some delicious traditional Urfa food. Urfa is known for its kebaps and other delicious dishes that you can only find in this town.

Come on, book this funny and different tour with a local!

    I am going to be waiting right in front of the Ziraat Bankası. It is in the Topçu Square which most crowded place in Şanlıurfa so if you ask anyone how to get there they are most likely going to help you.

It was a very nice tour. Fatih showed me many places I think only local people know about and he gave me very interesting information about aspects of the Sanliurfa old town. We looked for (and may have found) the location of an old synogogue that was built near a mosque and a church which was an interesting part of the history of that part of the old town.

Highly recommended tour! Fatih is a great tour guide- he does not only show you the most interesting sites in Urfa but also tells you about life in Turkey and the East. Moreover, he was really thoughtful and gave us lots of useful advise for the next stops on our journey Mardin and Diyarbakır.

I never met such a touristic guide. Very knowledgeable but also helpful. He knows a lot and not like traditional guides where they just repeat same stories. You feel how spontaneous he is. He knows all the region and not just Ulfa where we had the tour. I Recommend him to everyone
