I had a wonderful tour with Burak! It was my first time in Istanbul and I was traveling alone. Burak made me feel like a local immediately, mixing a blend of historical and personal stories that helped me understand the city’s past and its present. Highly recommend!
Wonderful day tour of the obligatory and beautiful city landmarks. Burak took excellent care of us and explained everything in a friendly and interesting way. Highly recommendable.
Bath was very nice and accommodating to our family as we have our 1 year old in tow. He knew a lot of the history of the Big Three and we were shown the local shops and restaurants and even tried real Turkish coffee.
My guide Batu is very thoughtful & accommodating, when my flight got delayed and my arrival time was unclear. He had planned the routes to avoid closure, and with stops at key points of interests to explain background & history. Plus answer to questions and great intellectual conversations about landmarks, history, current events..etc. For someone who doesn’t have much time in Istanbul and knowing little about Istanbul & Turkey, Batu is your guy!!
Excellent knowledge and understanding about these historical sites. Very informative and we had a great time with Burak!
We really had a good time with our guide Burak today. Not only he could help us immerse into the history of old town Istambul but he did it with a great sense of care and thoughfulness of our needs. A true charm armed with the knowledge to guide us in museus, cafes, markets, mosques or bookshops alike. Top.
Batu was an excellent tour guide, and I really enjoyed the tour. He was an eloquent speaker and explained to me the history of all the places we visited. For every recommendation, and once more, thank you for the tour.
It was an amazing tour thanks to our guide we fell in love with istanbul 😍
Ozzy was terrific! Very knowledgeable and personable - he answered all of our questions, gave us so much information, and even took us to one of his favorite local places to eat delicious authentic Turkish food!
Burak was an excellent guide. My son and I visited Istanbul and on our first day he guided us through the city’s most iconic monuments with great professionalism and knowledge. He was very well prepared and shared many interesting insights about the history and culture of the city. What we appreciated the most was his flexibility. He was very willing to adapt the program to our interests and pace, which made the experience even more enjoyable and personal. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend it to any traveler who wants to discover Istanbul in a deeper and more authentic way.
