We had a wonderful time with Emre as our guide on this tour. We were the only ones (family of 4) on this tour so it was very personalized experience with Emre. He was very knowledgeable and respectful. He was punctual and patiently answered all our questions during the tour. He also took our pics at all the right spots. Lunch was delicious Turkish cuisine. We would recommend this tour to family and friends.

My husband and i recently took a walking tour of Istanbul with Burak, and it was an unforgettable experience. Since it was considerably low season, we ended up with private tour. Burak was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's rich history and culture, offering fascinating insights at every stop. From the bustling Grand Bazaar to the serene Blue Mosque, eerie Basilica cistern, magnificent Hagia Sophia, each location was brought to life with Burak's storytelling. We even explored lesser-known areas we would never found on our own. Most entrance went at ease and smooth, we didnt had to go on big line since theyre all included in the fees. No headaches on how much to pay, when to pay etc. Good restaurant selection. Portion was decent considering its a 7-8 hours walking. I was abit worried about the pushy silk carpet show written on some reviews, turned out it was rather educational and very very interesting one. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to truly understand Istanbul's magic. Thank you Burak.

Emre was a great guide! Very knowledgeable. He was great at navigating the crowds to give us the feeling of being special! Great lunch at Tamara’s as well. If you are so lucky to get Emre as your guide you will not be disappointed.

Istanbul has been on my bucket list for years and we finally made it. Had seen lots of positive reviews about Ozzy so booked a guide with him which included my dream of the blue mosque. As I have limited mobility Ozzy never rushed ahead or left us behind. His knowledge on the history of his country and this city is outstanding. His English perfect and his sense of humour fantastic. Ozzy Ceylan is the perfect guide and we highly recommend him to everyone else.

Ozzy is first and all, a true professional guide, he might be young but he has an old soul and a true passion for what he does. I might blame him for making me fall in love with Istanbul.
This guide will read you and adapt to your knowledge and interets like I have never experienced before, he will make sure that you learn while having an amazing time.
6 Stars to Oguzhan Ceylan without the slightest doubt,
I will be back for more, you are a true Istanbul gem !
Bravo et Merci
