We had the best guide -- Furkan was truly amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly. İstanbul was perfectly city and history, Furkan wove together the history and the culture of this unique City in the most perfect way. Him English is superb and him knowledge is second to none - and yet it is him personality and warmth - she is engaging and delightful. I can thoroughly recommend Furkan to you.

Our guide Furkan was extremely knowledgeable and gave us lot of great details on all the places we visited with him the blue mosque, hagia sofia and dolmabahce palace. He made our visit really enjoyable. He also went out of his way to help us get the metro tickets which we struggled with initially. Would use him has our guide in the future in a heartbeat :-).
