We had a great time visiting the old sites of Istanbul with Emre. He was so knowledgable it was crazy. Any question we had, he had the answer for.
And he's a super food lover and we went to a grill spot for lunch that was so good. And the kind of spot a tourist would have some difficulty due to not knowing what to order, but Emre handled it all and we had a feast!Fantastic private tour!

We had a 3hr walking tour with Emir of Istanbul which was really 4 hrs as Emir was so interesting and so proud of his city. Emir was friendly, very knowledgeable and a great guide. We would give 11/10 if we could. We visited mosques, learnt about the Turkish culture and tried the local food. Would highly recommend for anyone. Emir was inspirational and today I booked French lessons to learn a 2nd language because of him. Anazing tour with Emir

Emre hat mit uns eine Führung durch Istanbul gemacht und zwar hat er uns an für Touristen eher untypische Orte geführt, die sehr interessant waren und einen guten Einblick in das Leben vor Ort ermöglichten. Außerdem hat er einen guten Überblick für uns über Istanbul erstellt und welche Sehenswürdigkeiten wir in den nächsten Tagen noch besuchen sollten.Statfürung mit Emre

Had the pleasure of having Emre as our private guide in Istanbul, and he was absolutely fantastic. We requested a tour focusing on the less touristy parts of the city to immerse ourselves in Istanbul’s local culture and history, and Emre exceeded our expectations. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, combined with his engaging storytelling, brought the sites to life for us.
Emre also went above and beyond by providing us with invaluable tips, including recommendations for hidden-gem restaurants and unique experiences for the rest of our stay.
If you’re looking for a very good guide in Istanbul, Emre is the one. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!A Great Guide for an Authentic Experience

A huge thank you to Emre for making our trip to Istanbul truly special! He is not just a guide but a wonderful host, full of knowledge and passion for the city’s history. Emre went above and beyond—ensuring a smooth fast-track entry to Hagia Sophia, guiding us back to our hotel via public transport (which he even paid for!), and even adding extra stops like the Blue Mosque and a Medresa that weren’t originally in our itinerary. He was always attentive, welcoming, and ready to help with anything we needed. If you’re looking for the perfect guide in Istanbul, Emre is the one! Highly recommended!An Unforgettable Tour with the Emre

Kemal is a confident, cosmopolitan guy who takes pride is making sure you have a great day out. He's quick to build rapport and seems to build lasting friendships with many of his tour groups. It is impressive how quickly he could customise the itinerary based on the weather, season and your preferences - he truly knows Taksim's food scene very well.
His standard route for 10 Tastings of Istanbul is through Taksim, focusing on classic street food from mainstream chains. He also spontaneously worked in the chance to try Turkish wine at a nice place in Pera, and a delicious quince dessert which would otherwise be easy to miss. If you want exposure to more inventive regional cuisine, it would be worth discussing the itinerary in detail in advance.
No matter what, there's no avoiding how meaty Turkish cuisine is, so considering the timing of the tour carefully and don't plan it eat much before and after this tour!10 Tastings of Istanbul with Kemal

We had a lovely tour with Emre! Not only does he know A LOT about Istanbul, he also is passionate about sharing his knowledge and we learned so much while having fun and enjoying this beautiful city! I would highly recommend anyone, who wants to hear interesting facts and stories about i.e Hagia Sophia or the Blue Mosque to book Emre as their guide. Additionally he is very helpful if you are looking for local tips as where to eat or how to get to the airport. And Emre is great with young people too! My 15 year old son enjoyed our 3 hour very much and it helped us to connect with lively and beautiful Istanbul. Lovely experience!!

Kemal je apsolutno fantastičan vodič – strastven, informiran i nevjerojatno gostoljubiv! Proveo nas je kroz skrivene kutke Istanbula koje sami nikad ne bismo pronašli, od lokalnih taverni do skrivenih vidikovaca s predivnim pogledom. Uživali smo u pravim "hidden gems" mjestima, daleko od turističkih gužvi, gdje smo osjetili pravi duh grada.
Uz to, počastio nas je vrhunskim vinom i podijelio sjajne preporuke za restorane, barove i mjesta s autentičnom glazbom. Svaki savjet koji nam je dao bio je zlata vrijedan – zahvaljujući njemu, ostatak našeg boravka bio je još bogatiji.
Ako želite istinski doživjeti Istanbul, osjetiti njegovu atmosferu i otkriti mjesta koja samo lokalci znaju, Kemal je čovjek za vas! Topla preporuka za svakoga tko traži nezaboravno iskustvo!Autentično iskustvo u Istanbulu s Kemalom

Wij hebben genoten van de foodtour. Emre spreekt goed Engels (in Canada gewoond) en Duits. Emre was erg vriendelijk, informatief en behulpzaam. De tour was niet zwaar en we hadden 10 stops. We lieten ons de hapjes goed smaken. Emre vertelde ons dan wat informatie over de gerechten en over bepaalde historische gebouwen. Erg handig en leuk om Istanbul zo te verkennen.Super foodtour, informatief en lekker

We had an unforgettable experience with Emre as our food tour guide in Istanbul! From the very beginning, his warmth, knowledge, and passion for the city's history and cuisine made the tour truly special.
Emre took us to hidden gems ,every stop had something unique and delicious and he made sure we not only enjoyed the food but also understood the culture and traditions behind each dish.
Beyond the food, Emre was an incredible guide, always friendly and patient .
If you're visiting Istanbul, I highly recommend a food tour with Emre.

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di fare un tour gastronomico a Istanbul con Emre, ed è stata un’esperienza davvero straordinaria! Ci ha portato in diversi locali autentici, alcuni storici e iconici, dove abbiamo potuto assaggiare ben dieci piatti tipici della cucina turca. Ogni tappa è stata un viaggio nei sapori e nelle tradizioni locali, con Emre che ci ha guidato con passione e competenza.
Oltre al cibo, ci ha arricchito con racconti sulla storia della città e sulle curiosità legate ai luoghi in cui ci siamo fermati, rendendo il tour non solo gustoso ma anche culturalmente stimolante. La sua conoscenza, il suo entusiasmo e la sua capacità di farci sentire a nostro agio hanno reso l’esperienza unica.
Se visitate Istanbul e volete scoprire il lato più autentico della sua gastronomia, vi consiglio senza dubbio un tour con Emre!La miglior guida che si possa desisderare!

De tour zelf is een aanrader! In mooie Kadikoy hebben we 10 zaakjes bezocht, wat een heerlijke ervaring! Zeker doen als je in Istanbul bent!Geweldige ervaring!

Tolga took over from Emre who we originally booked with but had the flu. An avid traveler himself, Tolga was super interesting to listen and talk to. Not only did he do a fabulous job with showing us Turkish street food and classic dishes, he also knew a lot about history and historical context of the region.
Emre too was helpful—even though he didn’t conduct the tour he gave us extremely useful tips about Istanbul.
So much better than any canned tour of the attractions. So much better than Get Your Guide

My Husband and I are so grateful to have met Emre our first day in Istanbul, his food and exploration recommendations literally shaped the rest of our itinerary and showed us the local side of Istanbul!
Emre introduced us to authentic Turkish food at places we would never know existed. We had a lot of fun walking around, we learned so much history which only someone who grew up there could share with us.
Emre is also incredible with sharing more local food recommendations and places to buy your favourite souvenirs (more affordably). Emre, The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Emre is the perfect host for a tasting tour. We learned so much from him, and his love for the city comes through in the stories he shared - I feel as though I know much more about the history and character of the neighbourhoods we walked through than I would have learned otherwise. All the tastings and stops were thoughtful and both my teenage daughter and myself enjoyed every bite and sip. We also have a long shopping list of treats to go shopping for to bring back for family at home. Lovely afternoon and highly recommend. Fun, knowledgable and dekicious tour

On a long layover through Istanbul, we booked an evening tour with Faruk. It was terrific and Faruk was the perfect host to show off his beautiful city. Despite the cold and wet weather, Faruk took the time to point out the amazing architectural features and mixed historical facts with his own personal stories (He teaches English at a local school). After a meal of Turkish Kababs, we walked through the French section and Liberty Street, enjoying the stores and people-watching. He treated us to apple tea in a cozy coffee shop. I highly recommend Faruk and this tour service for a reasonably-priced, custom tour and will book with him the next time I am in Istanbul.Great evening tour with Faruk

During our short tour with Ayşenur, we had the chance to enjoy Istanbul at night. We learned about the lifestyle of locals and some great things about the history of the city. This is a concentrated short tour over the culture , history, architecture, hidden gems and where to find local food either on the streets or in a fine dining restaurant in the city. Ayşenur’s way of delivering the tour feels like there’s still more to dig in. She continued to ask if there were other things we wanted her to focus on to make sure we were getting the most out of our visit. Definitely recommended, she’s a true local.A Great Evening in Istanbul

I honestly don’t know where to start. Dilek was amazing and it was like I was learning about the city from a friend. Her communication, from the moment I set up the tour until the moment I met her was fabulous. We chatted and got to know each other. She arranged for me to have transportation and it was the best decision! Dilek’s in depth knowledge of Istanbul is second to none, and we had wonderful conversations wandering the cobblestone streets lined with cafes and restaurants. We were able to see the Hagia Sofia, Cisterns, Spice Market, old city, new city, galata port, and so much more! I fell in love with Istanbul in large part because of Dilek. I didn’t just have a tour. I explored an amazing city with a friend, and made memories that will last me forever.

My experience has been seamless and customised according to my requirements. I had a long transit between my flights and booked this experience to see the main sites around Istanbul. Gülce organised the best transfer.
Gülce was very friendly and kind which made my experience enjoyable. She even showed me some extra places like the Grand Bazaar and we had dinner at a nice restaurant by the Bosphorus which had the most delicious dishes. She knew how to time the visits well and advised on the best way to navigate through Istanbul traffic. Unfortunately the weather was really cold and windy, but I will be back again and enjoy Istanbul better next time. Thanks a lot Gülce for everything. Explored Istanbul with the best guide

I booked a private, all-day tour with Abdullah during my 22-hour layover in Istanbul, and it was the best experience I could have asked for! Abdullah was so welcoming and kind, and took interest in my travels and goals for the day. The tour covered so much-- from local food, to major historical sites, to a beautiful afternoon ferry ride. I appreciated how community-focused the tour was-- I met so many kind and amazing people throughout the day. I definitely feel as though the tour helped me make the most out of my short time in the city-- highly recommend!Amazing Experience!

Kadir crafts a tour so that is completely about you and what you want to learn. I felt so taken care of--few tour guides (and people generally) have the EQ and intellectual curiosity that Kadir has, resulting in a tour is a dialogue and not a one-way flow of information and facts. There were so many subtle personal touches and acts of consideration that demonstrated to me that Kadir really went out of his way to make this an experience of a lifetime. Definitely don't miss out on what could be one of the best days of your vacation.White Glove Treatment
