Berat Yildiz was our guide through Istanbul and we could not have been luckier! A charming, kind, approachable, and trustworthy person. He explained the whole history site by site, advised us on what to see, what was worth paying to enter and what was not... and where to shop, which is very important. I would recommend him 1 million times!! He is on Facebook in case anyone wants to look for him.
Everything was perfect! Horizon is the person you need to discover Istanbul.
We had an excellent private tour of Istanbul. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly.
We thank our guide Ufkur for his support over these two days in Istanbul; we really enjoyed visiting and getting to know the city in his company.
Ozge was an absolute delight. Her energy and passion for what she does was so wonderful for us to share with her and for her to share with us. She is a very intelligent young lady and very personable as well. She taught my husband and I so much about the history of Istanbul and Turkey 🇹🇷 ! We could not have had a better private guide and we are so thankful we were set up with her. We highly recommend Ozge!!!
