5.00Ozzy was the best guide. His knowledge was that of a history professor. He spared no details but made everything interesting. He didn’t rush us and made the navigation around the crowded attractions work smoothly. I don’t think there was one question we asked that he couldn’t answer. Plus the other people in our group were all super chill and like minded. We lucked out, for sure. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and hope that you also get Ozzy as your guide.

5.00Our tour guide Ozzie was fantastic. He was fun and knowledgeable, we were able to cover key Istanbul sights efficiently while never feeling rushed, nor did we get stuck in any long lines. Ozzie was a walking professor of knowledge pointing out great details we would have missed without him. Made our trip. Thank you!
Highly recommend!
