My husband and I took this same walking tour last year with the same provider and was so impressed. So when we had chance to visit Istanbul again with our kids we wanted them to experience Fener Balat as we did. To my surprise there was Yunus, Kubra's brother who guided as for the walking tour (I thought kubratheguide only run by Kubra). We had the same route as before and Yunus' also such a great guide. He provide us some informations that we haven't heard from Kubra before.. He was well prepared, he brought some printed pictures ready to show us about things he told us. He answer each question. My daughter was a little bit not into the tour that day due to some school work she suddenly need to submit, Yunus was so patient waiting for my group... He also recommend us which restaurant to go for our lunch (and we followed, delicious kofte!). I asked him if he could guide us for Kariye mosque nearby because I was interested to visit with a guide. He explained, basically if there is a guide for inside the mosque, it would be a full explanation on the bible. I ended up went by myself to the mosque which is so beautiful btw, but Yunus was right, I don't think unless you are into the bible you would need a guide inside. Even though inside the mosque was so impressive, it is not that big. Thank you Yunus for answering all of our question patiently. I highly recommend taking this tour with Kubra or Yunus for they are really specialized for Fener Balat area. You will not regret! I promise :)
