My wife and I arrived via a cruise ship and Atakan made it very easy for us by meeting us at the port. He helped us learn the tram system and enjoyed touring the major sites of Istanbul. We always want to understand the history of places we visit and Atakan was a wealth of knowledge. He also provided recommendations on what to do our second day. Thanks for the tour and a memorable trip to Istanbul. Great tour, would recommend to others

Very knowledgable on all topics of conversation - we had plenty of questions so it felt like a really good discussion. His English was remarkably good. Guide totally over delivered on our expectations. A multi diverse experience of the city we would never have discovered alone. Catered well for a vegetarian. Like spending an evening with a friend of a friend. Expensive but still value for money. Coffee fortune telling was an added bonus.Would thoroughly recommend

Atakan was an amazing guide. He was incredibly generous with information not only about food but also with its history. He was extremely knowledgeable about Istanbul and Turkey as a whole. He accommodated our needs as slow walkers and someone with a food allergy. The food tastings were diverse and delicious. Could not have asked for better. Thank you Atakan!Thank tou Atakan

Atakan is relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable. We tried many different foods and he tailored the food tour to our needs. We would highly recommend him.
