We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Omer during our time in Istanbul. He picked us up right at our hotel and from the first moment set a perfect, comfortable pace for the day — never rushed, but we still managed to see everything we'd hoped for.
Omer took us to all the major must-see attractions, but what really set him apart was how he wove in hidden gems most tourists never find — the kind of spots only a local who truly loves his city would know about. His knowledge of Istanbul's history and culture made every stop come alive.
What really speaks to his character, though, happened after our tour ended. We accidentally left a package behind, and rather than just letting it go, Omer went out of his way to bring it to us at the airport before our flight home. That kind of thoughtfulness and dedication is rare, and it turned a great tour into a truly memorable experience.
If you're visiting Istanbul, do yourself a favor and book Omer. He's knowledgeable, warm, easygoing, and genuinely cares about making your visit special. Five stars isn't enough — we'd give him more if we could.

Fabulous “cats of Istanbul” walking tour with Omer and Deniz
After falling in love with the cats of Istanbul through the amazing “Kedi” documentary we were keen to find out more about the city’s relationship with its feline inhabitants. We had a memorable day with the fantastic Omer and Deniz who personalised a day full of not just cats but churches, cafes, restaurants, parks, ferries and even football (!) so we truly got to see Istanbul in a unique light. They are wonderful guides and it was a pleasure to spend a day in their care while learning, laughing and having lots of fun. Their knowledge of the city, its people and its felines was amazing and they were generous in sharing it so we had a brilliant time. Would highly recommend both the tour and - especially - Omer and Deniz.
