Interesting, informative, and fun day
We had a great day in Istanbul with Ahmet Can. It was interesting, fun, and informative. He met us at our hotel, and within the first ten minutes of walking towards public transportation, he had stories to share about the street we were walking in. This was indicative for the rest of the day: Ahmet was knowledgeable, engaging, and responsive to all our questions. He is a good representative of all that is good about using WithLocals. We can highly recommend him.

Best Tour Guide in Istanbul – A Must-Book!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience exploring the Old City of Istanbul with Abdullah. From the moment we met, he made us feel incredibly welcomed and set the tone for an unforgettable day. His deep knowledge of history brought the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque to life, making every stop more meaningful.
Not only was he super informative, but he was also genuinely eager to ensure we had the best experience possible. He helped us navigate the markets, taking us to the right places to shop without any pressure, which made our experience even more enjoyable. He even joined us for lunch at a fantastic local restaurant he recommended, giving us an authentic taste of Istanbul beyond the usual tourist spots.
His enthusiasm, professionalism, and warmth truly set him apart. I’ve had many tour guides over the years, but he was one of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for an exceptional guide in Istanbul, I highly recommend Abdullah. You won’t be disappointed!

Emere is excellent
Emere is very knowledgeable and was very pleasant throughout the two days he was with us. He took us to the places that we wanted to go to, and also to off the beaten path streets and places to visit and eat. I highly recommend him.
