Istanbul Highlights! Moschea Blu, Santa Sofia, Topkapı e altro

Our guide Burak was excellent. He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable. He covered the entire itinerary as described. He also gave me great tips on other places to visit during my time in Istanbul. Overall, I highly recommend this tour 😀

Great experiences, you should have seen it. But it was really extremely crowded. You can rent headscarves there.

An eye opening experience. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Türkiye. Will strongly recommend this tour.

The skip the line part makes entry and exit much easier and smooth which is a big help. The sites are all fascinating. You get a feel for the city and what it has to offer from the tour. Juts be aware it is a lot of walking and also the mosques require you to be covered in a certain way, but the organizers let you know that in advance so it’s easy to plan accordingly.

I can't imagine doing these sites without a guide. Oğuzhan brought so much insight and history to each if the locations, thoughtfully answered all of our questions, and guided us through the sites in a way that beat the crowds which allowed us to really enjoy each one. Also, we had food restrictions in our group (gluten) and he was able to work with the staff at the restaurant to ensure we had safe foods to eat. I cannot recommend this tour (or Oğuzhan) enough.

Top notch tour by our amazing guide Oz. We experienced the highlights of Istanbul and there are many incredible ones and Oz’s knowledge and personality made it a truly immersive experience. My wife and I met up in the morning with our 2 other solo travelers and when Oz met up with us we became a great group of 5 people who had a wonderful day in Istanbul.

We had a wonderful full day walking tour with Oguzhan yesterday. We’ve done many high-end walking tours and he’s earned the number one spot. He is incredibly knowledgeable, has great stories and enhances the tour with photos and historical illustrations. He’s personable and tailors the tour to your interests. The tour included a delicious lunch featuring a variety of Turkish savories and sweets.

I can't even begin to speak highly enough about this experience! Oğuzhan ticks all the boxes for what you should look for in a tour guide. He is absolutely brilliant in his knowledge of history and linguistics and I learned so much from him about the incredibly complex history of this region and especially the places we visited. Beyond his knowledge and incredible storytelling, he was a kind and thoughtful guide, always making sure that everyone in our group was comfortable. We were all well fed and hydrated! He's incredibly personable and has a wonderful demeanor and sense of humor. As a result, our tour group bonded like friends...which was lovely for spending a day all together. One thing I also noticed was how he interacted with other guides and the hosts of the establishments we visited. It was evident that he is a well-respected member of the community and that says a lot about him as a human. I would be remiss if I did not talk about his photography skills. ☺️ As a solo traveler, I am rarely able to capture photos of myself during my travels that are not selfies. I read about Ozzy's photography skills in other people's reviews, and was intrigued. I have to say, he lived up to the hype! I'm forever grateful for the gorgeous photos he captured of not just me, but our entire group. I want to touch upon one last thing. Previous reviewers wrote about visiting some local businesses and how they felt it was "salesy". Don't listen to them! Visiting these places was a wonderful way to learn about local trades. I even got to try my own hand at pottery on the wheel as a part of this. And if you want to support these local craftspeople, then go ahead and buy something...but there was certainly no pressure and the experience was beautiful. I could go on and on about the experience I had on this tour (and I have! 😆). If you made this far in my review, I hope your next move is to book the tour...you won't regret it!

Oguzhan was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. He made the entire day so much fun and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group had a great experience. He was also amazing at taking lots of pictures throughout the day, capturing so many great memories for us. Oguzhan is a true history buff, and his passion and knowledge really made the tour come alive. I couldn’t recommend this tour—and Oguzhan—more highly. If you’re considering this tour, book it! You’ll be in excellent hands.

Burak was one of the best tour guide. Very knowledgeable, very patient, and respectful. Traveled with my daughter and thoroughly enjoyed his company.
