Amazing!

The best way to see the sights! Ozzy was an exceptional guide. His love for the city and knowledge of its history made this a day to remember. He pointed out the little details that we would have missed if not for him.

Songul was amazing. We saw all the major attractions and learned so much history from all the places we visited that had we seen it without a tour we would have enjoyed the view but missed out much knowledge and interesting facts about history. Definitely recommend for a quick and efficient way to visit the major attractions in Istanbul.

Ozzie was our guide and he made our time in Istanbul unforgettable. He provided us with a historical rundown of the Old City and all of the attractions we visited there. He allowed us to have some freedom with our itinerary as well which is something you don’t get with larger, group tours. Ozzie gave us some helpful tips to avoid scammers which have come in handy for the rest of our trip. He also knew all of the best spots for photos and took incredible photos of my friend and I. I am very happy we did this tour!

Amazing!

We visited Istanbul during the first half of December. We booked a guided tour with Ozzie for the day, and he was just amazing! He was exceptionally knowledgable, answered all our questions, and knew how to adjust the tour due to the unforseen rain. He was very friendly and even gave us great recommendations for food places on the Asian side of Istanbul. He mentioned he does a food tour too, and we would definitely book him for the food tour if we go to Istanbul again!

Thank you, Ozzie, for a wonderful time :)

We absolutely loved the tour, especially the guide. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more special. We visited very interesting places that amazed us with their history and beauty.

Additionally, we had lunch at a spot recommended by the guide, and it was simply perfect—delicious food at a very reasonable price.

I highly recommend this tour 100%. It’s an excellent way to explore Istanbul, learn about its rich culture, and enjoy an authentic experience.

Amazing!

What a wonderful way to explore Istanbul's highlights. Burak is such a knowledgeable guide and takes you to the best places of interest and vantage points to see the best and most significant parts of each destination and points out the best of laces to take great photos. We had the most delicious and relaxing lunch in a local restaurant, the best food we had during our trip. Burak's walking tour is great value and we highly recommend you join one soon.
