My brother and I attended the tour on Monday after landing on Sunday night. The group only has 2 other people. I liked having the small group. The guide knew lots of great history and stories and threw in jokes. He gave us plenty of space and time to roam around on our own and take pictures.

Amazing!

This was definitely the main highlight of my week in Istanbul. Oguz Arkan brought the history of the city alive and really set the scene as well as giving me a good foundation for exploring other parts of Istanbul. He is clearly very knowledgeable and well-read, his communication skills are excellent and he is very good at tailoring his tours to his audience. He gave us a lot of local tips on where to go and the best places to eat - don't miss the iskender kebab house! He was kind, friendly, very flexible and sensitive to the needs of our small group, mixing serious scholarship with many amusing stories. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Oz and highly recommend him to anyone wishing to learn more about this fascinating city. I can't wait to go back.
