Emir is truly a citizen of the world. Having lived in several countries, he brings an exceptional perspective to his tours. He has a depth of knowledge on history and it is obvious he loves both the subject and his city. We enjoyed his tour very much. Not least was the excellent baklava at the end.

Kadir treated us to an informative, personal, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable tour of Jewish Istanbul. His knowledge was exemplary and his personable nature put us at ease from the moment we met. We would highly recommend him.

A great tour guide with interesting stories of Istanbul. Had a high energy 3 hr tour which ticked all the boxes. Would highly recommend

Emir was a very accomplished guide, very knowledgeable & passionate about history & Istanbul. We saw lots of little gems that we wouldn’t have seen as a tourist & really enjoyed our tour.

Kadir is knowledgeable, very friendly, and fun. We had a great day with him and enjoyed the tour very much! Would definitely recommend Kadir.

Ayfer led our mixed group with various food no-go items on a delightful, informative food tour of Istanbul. She was good humoured, knowledgeable, and entertaining. She adapted her program successfully to our delight. We loved talking with her, and enjoyed sharing our reactions and stories with her. Ayfer went beyond our expectations. We were saddened to reach the end of our time with her.

We really enjoyed our food tour with Alp! It was lovely to try some new foods and learn about them from Alp. We also enjoyed seeing the local graffiti art and learning about the political messages behind it. Alp knew so much about both local food and graffiti art, and had a lovely calm manner. My kids adored him! Would highly recommend!

Emre is the best! He is very knowledgeable, personable, and knows the best places to eat and explore the many foods of Istanbul. I highly recommend him.

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!

Lorena was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She turned a rained day for eleven jet-lagged people into a fun and unique experience walking through the Kadiköy neighborhood. We sampled a lot of different foods and drinks in the this beautiful neighborhood. Highly recommend booking with Lorena for any tours during your stay in Istanbul.
