From first contact and jointly deciding what sites to visit, to meeting up at our cruise port and visiting the sites went so well! We really enjoy Selcuk’s knowledge at the sites but my husband I also enjoyed just chatting with our guide over coffee in a small neighborhood. The place he took us to share his country’s cuisine was fantastic as well. His love for Türkiye is very evident and we are truly thankful we found him for our brief visit to Istanbul. We learned so much!

Great day in Istanbul!
Very good tour today! Our guide Sel was very knowledgeable and friendly, he also adapted the sights to our requests. Let him know if you are interested in good shopping, he knows all of the quality places to go.

Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved our tour of Istanbul’s old city with Selcuk! He is incredibly knowledgeable about both Istanbul’s fascinating history and the vibrant city it is today. Selcuk tells his stories with so much energy and enthusiasm, making the tour engaging and fun from start to finish. He also did a fantastic job adapting the tour to our group and our interests. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Selcuk to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Amazing experience in Istanbul!
We had a wonderful 2 day tour with Selçuk. He was so knowledgeable about the local and regional history and we loved the skip the line aspect because our time was limited.

Excellent Istanbul Walking Tour
We had an excellent walking day tour with Selcuk! He was very knowledgeable about the entire area and we walked around Old Istanbul. Went into multiple sites and everything was seamless. By the time we walked up to the gate, he already had our tickets and was explaining where we’re going. He was able to cater the day to us and would definitely go on tour when we return!

Amazing Tour Experience
Sal’s private Istanbul tour is incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city, cultures, and history of this area and answered a million of our questions. He is extremely flexible with the experience to make it your own. He knows exactly which shops are the best quality for ceramics, spices, rugs, etc. I wouldn’t want anybody else showing me the city! 5/5

Sel Brings Istanbul to Life
We booked a private tour with Sel, and it was easily one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul. He's knowledgeable without being scripted, the kind of guide who can walk you through centuries of history at Hagia Sophia and then pivot naturally into a conversation about what daily life actually looks like for people living in the city today. We came away feeling like we understood Istanbul, not just its monuments. Sel was practical, easy to talk to, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. If you want more than a checklist of sites, he's your guide. Highly recommend.

A first class guide
Sejcuk is a really excellent guide. We spent a couple of days with him, and he showed us the main sights of the old city (skipping some long queues!), and some excellent lunch spots and shops in the grand bazaar. He is really knowledgeable and was able to give us a great sense of the history of the city. Highly recommended.
