Istanbul hoogtepunten! Blauwe Moskee, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı en meer

Oguzhan was absolutely incredible! He stuck with us the whole time, was very informative, kind, honest, friendly and professional. He was very knowledgeable on all the sites - you could ask him any question and he’d have the answer! He put in so much effort into his trade, maintained a positive tone for the whole day and genuinely wanted us to experience the best of Istanbul. He even gave us tips for other things we should do and places to eat for the remainder of our holiday. He was also very timely, had great English (in addition to speaking the local language), spoke very clearly and was very engaging for all age groups. Our tour was 9 hours, but it absolutely flew by! And even if you couldn’t think of a question, he’d always have interesting knowledge up his sleeve ready to share - he didn’t let a second of your time go to waste! He was also very accommodating of our curiosity and willing to diplomatically answer questions about culture, religion etc Further, he was excellent with communication leading up to the tour (via WhatsApp), and made sure to prepare us with the things we needed to bring - scarfs, water etc.. He was also very responsive to everyone’s needs on tour - made sure there were plenty of stops for water and bathroom breaks. He also took plenty of photos for our group, and had some fantastic photography skills too, which really meant a lot for our memories. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much Oguzhan ☺️

Ozzy was a brilliant guide with in-depth knowledge of all the sights and cultural areas, and most importantly, he was really interesting to listen to. The tour was well-paced, and we had plenty of time to explore the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and the other important monuments. Ozzy pointed out loads of interesting features in the area, and I feel I learnt a huge amount without being bombarded with dates, facts, and figures. The stories of the palace concubines and enslaved people were fascinating and really helped bring to life what it was like when the sultans inhabited Topkapi Palace. Ozzy is also a great photographer so was able to help us with getting some great shots of the various areas. If you're visiting Istanbul, I"d highly recommend you book your tour with Ozzy — he'll bring the city's history to life in a way that's engaging, insightful, and genuinely memorable. A great way to see all the main highlights in one day.

Ozzy was a great tour guide and covered all the must see locations providing very detailed historical knowledge for each. In addition the lunch was great and Ozzy takes great photos for you at some hidden spots. Would highly recommend especially if you are in town for a day and want to see as much as you can.

Excellent tour of some of the major sites in Istanbul. Our guide, Oguzhan, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, perfect pacing of sites, and excellent English. Sign up to learn some history, see some beautiful expressions of art, eat some good food, drink plenty of tea and coffee. Cannot recommend enough.

It’s a full on day, but if you have a short stay in Istanbul well worth it as you see most of the main sights and more. A short stop in the morning then lunch around 1pm helped the tired legs and feet! Small group, just 5 of us including our guide Emre our guide who was excellent.

Ozzy is an excellent your guide. I chose this tour because I had only one day in Istanbul and wanted to see as much as possible. I also wanted a tour where all of the entrance tickets were included and with a lunch. This tour might seem expensive but it is largely due to the high entrance costs to the Hagia Sophia and the palace, and I realized that other tours that didn’t include entrance fees and would be similar or more expensive. Ozzy has excellent English and I learned a lot! Much more than if I had gone to the sights alone. I was on a group with 3 other people which was the perfect size. Also, Ozzy is a master photographer and will take lots of nice photos of you :-)

Overall spectacular excursions specially one of the best Ozzy the tour guide, he knows his job very well which I think is overqualified 😎 one must experience dis journey

What a wonderful day. We were fortunate to have Oguzhan as our guide. His knowledge is phenomenal and he is one of the best guides we've ever had in any country. He is also a very enthusiastic and kind person who made a real effort to ensure that we enjoyed our day. Thank you Oguzhan!

Best tour guide ever! Ozzy was very knowledgeable, personable and fun! Highly recommend!

My favorite tour experience in Istanbul was with OZ, an exceptional guide and gifted storyteller who truly brought the city’s rich history to life in a way that was both engaging and unforgettable. Our group of six was the perfect size, making the experience feel intimate, relaxed, and personal. OZ created a welcoming environment where every question was encouraged, and his easygoing nature helped everyone connect quickly. By the end of the day, we no longer felt like strangers—we felt like a small group of friends exploring the city together. We covered a lot of ground on foot, yet everything was thoughtfully paced and tailored to our group’s needs. Thanks to his excellent organization, we were able to skip long lines and make the most of our time. When one person needed a coffee break, it was effortlessly built into the flow of the day. We even had a memorable stop to find the perfect saffron for our daughter-in-law, complete with a mini-lesson from a local merchant on how to identify the best quality. If you are only going to take one tour in Istanbul, this is the one to choose.
