Very private, we could pick what we wanted to do. Lucky we didn't, Anil had a great tour picked out, and then we asked him to take us where the locals would eat lunch, and it was fantastic. You will walk a lot, well over 13,000 steps, but it is worth it.

Great tour and guide
Wonderful guide. Batu met us at the port and we caught a tram to the main sights. He was very knowledgeable and kind. Would highly recommend this tour.
Our early start meant that we avoided the crowds.

A great tour with Burak.
We had a wonderful walking tour with Burak. He was knowledgeable, but concise so we learned a lot. It was a beautiful day and we saw most of the major sites of the Old City. Burak knew what to see first before the crowds and we could make choices. He also gave us eating and tram advice. All in all, a 5-star experience.

Great experience!
Our guide, Batu, provided an excellent experience. We only had a short while in Istanbul, and he helped us make the most of it. He gave us excellent historical, artistic and cultural context about the sites we visited. The visit made us want to return and see more of Turkey.

Best with Batu!
Batu was amazing and very knowledgeable!
I can't believe how many things I learned today, even though I'm not young, and I am Muslim.
Batu is a treasure guide and we will be happy to meet him again in the future!! Great young man 👍👍👍!
We highly recommend him to any English speaking visitor!

A great experience!
Kurtulus our guide was amazing! It was a pleasure to spend the day learning from him. He was very knowledgeable and gave perspective and insight into all the places we visited, knew a lot of our little details along the way, and was able to identify our interests and provide further tidbits to feed our interest. He was flexible and showed us a great local place to grab a bite to eat. He interacted well with our teenage kids. Overall, we had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Istanbul and it was a pleasure to have K as our guide.

It was a wonderful private walking tour. Our guide Mr Anil furnished us with great insights into historical details and fun facts. The pacing was great. We stopped over places for Turkish Coffee and dessert. Thank you Anil!
