Erdem made my visit to Istanbul inspiring, informative and adventurous, plus little-to-no line-ups. His English was excellent and his knowledge about the sites and history was mindboggling. He adapted to some of my more offbeat request gave me the experience I was looking for.

Erdem was a great guide. He was very knowledgable and walked my wife and I around at a pace that suited us.
He clearly knew when to go to what sites and everything was made easy for us.
Would highly recommend him.
