Top guide

Oğuz is an engaging guide who has the knowledge and expertise to help you understand and experience different areas of Istanbul. His curated Seven Hills of Istanbul ( City Walls-Balat and Fener ) itinerary is superb. We truly enjoyed every moment. A heartfelt thank you to Oğuz for making our Istanbul visit special! We highly recommend him as a guide.

#1 Tour Guide!

My wife and 2 friends were very fortunate to select Esra as our Istanbul guide. Esra has a great knowledge of the top attractions, to include the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar. Esra is enthusiastic, dedicated, and made sure we were treated as guests in her care. She made sure our expectations were exceeded!

A quiet day in Istanbul

Ouzo was a great guide. He brought us to some areas less crowded. Explained the Tram to us which we used several more times while in the city. We had had a wonderful day with our new friend. Thank you Oz.
