Private tour guide

Burak was a great guide! On time, professional and very knowledgeable. Willing to customize our trip a bit as the Hagia Sofia had a lot of renovations happening inside that affected viewing so we asked if we could skip it, which we did. Because he is a professional guide, at attractions where we had to pay we were able to skip the line which was very helpful. Highly recommend.

His knowledge of Istanbul's history and culture was impressive, and he explained everything in a clear, engaging, and entertaining way. Burak was friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. His passion for the city really made the tour memorable. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Burak as your guide. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Bath was very nice and accommodating to our family as we have our 1 year old in tow. He knew a lot of the history of the Big Three and we were shown the local shops and restaurants and even tried real Turkish coffee.

Thoughtful and knowledgeable guide

My guide Batu is very thoughtful & accommodating, when my flight got delayed and my arrival time was unclear. He had planned the routes to avoid closure, and with stops at key points of interests to explain background & history. Plus answer to questions and great intellectual conversations about landmarks, history, current events..etc. For someone who doesn’t have much time in Istanbul and knowing little about Istanbul & Turkey, Batu is your guy!!
