“Oğuzhan was an amazing tour guide for the day! There was only one other person on our tour, making 3 total so it felt like a private tour! We loved visiting all of the places. Oğuzhan made sure to tell us when he could not guide us (govt/site regulations) but would tell us about what to see and look for and why it was important. I'm glad we did this tour as we were able to see most of the big sites in Istanbul all in one day! Topkapi palace seems like it would be overwhelming without this as we saw the highlights, but it never felt rushed. I loved…”

“Our tour of Istanbul with Korhan was fantastic. The skip-the-line is worth the price of the tour alone. Korhan clearly loves his city and knows it well. All his recommendations and tips were perfect. Galeyan, his recommendation for lunch, was excellent for food, service, and view. His suggestion we shop outside the Grand Bazaar and just walk through it for the experience was spot on. Sadly, this tour only gave a taste of Istanbul, but enough that we will be going back for a longer stay.”
