About local Alp
11 September 2025
Alp, our Renaissance food friend

Thank you, Alp, for sharing your knowledge and insight with us! We had such a wonderful time dining with you—it truly felt like spending the evening with a new friend. You guided us to places we might never have discovered on our own, just as you would with a visiting friend, and we loved every stop along the way. It was an unforgettable experience, and we’re so grateful!

Fabulous tour of Sultanahmet

Ahmet was great! We were visiting Istanbul for the European Triathlon Championships so didn’t have a lot of time to sightsee. We booked an afternoon tour of Sultanahmet with Ahmet and I’m so glad we did. He was friendly and very informative, bringing each site to life with stories and interesting facts. Would highly recommend!

Alp was a great guide. He showed us the murals around Kadikoy and Moda. Very informative and interesting! Very personable and friendly! Recommended for insight into the street art scene and Turkish culture.
