I want to thank our city guide, Zafer! It was one of the best city tours with a guide. Firstly, we did not waste a minute of our time in lines at Hagia Sophia and other places. In addition to detailed museum information, we learned some subtleties and uninteresting facts about the work of the Grand Bazaar, the city's transport system (which saved considerable time and money in our subsequent explorations of the town). About the recycling system, the people who help keep the city clean, and much more. Zafer was busy with us the whole day and was very involved. Most importantly, he took many great photos of us.

Young man was polite & knowledgeable. Wife & I felt safe during the tour. Informative. Took the time with extra stops so we could use the restroom and always had something to drink.

Zafer was a fantastic guide. Very attentive and always making sure our needs are taken care of during the trip. He is also very resourceful whenever we will need to change the itinerary in short notice during the trip.

I had a great private walking tour with Zafer in Old Istanbul! I learned so much as he was very informative and energetic about explaining each stop along the way. Because it was private, I was able to spend as much time as desired at each location! I highly recommend this tour and Zafer!

This was our first visit to Turkey and the plan would see us stay for 2 weeks. Our itinerary meant moving around famous places from Instalbul to Cappadocia, Pamukkale to Ephesus, Troy and Back. The means for us to move around was by land which meant road trip every couple of days. Turkey is such an amazing and place but highlight of this trip was our guide. From day 1 to day 14, Our guide was nothing short of perfection. He was very courteous, smart, articulate and well mannered. He constantly evolves, adjusting to the needs of each individual ( we were a party of 9). His knowledge about Turkey was inspiring. I absolutely recommend this tour service.

Our trip to Türkiye was truly an unforgettable experience—thanks to our amazing tour guide, Zafer. He expertly led us through a well-organized itinerary, ensuring every day was filled with rich cultural insights and memorable experiences. His deep knowledge of Türkiye history, landmarks, and local traditions made each stop more meaningful. He also went above and beyond to recommend and arrange the best optional tours—if Zafer says it’s a must, trust him, it definitely is! One of the highlights of the trip was the incredible food. He carefully selected restaurants and local spots that gave us a true taste of Turkish cuisine, and every meal felt like a culinary adventure. What made the experience even more special is Zafer’s attention to capturing memories—he takes amazing photos throughout the trip, so you go home not only with great experiences but also beautiful photos to remember them by. Most importantly, Zafer was always mindful and attentive to everyone’s needs, making the entire journey smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. His professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly set him apart. Zafer is highly recommended—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us the best of Türkiye!

Our guide Zafer was amazing! We booked a full day private tour, focussing on the Old Town and he was the perfect guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the city and its rich history, completely flexible with anything we wanted to see, or spend more/less time at, making it an wonderful, informative and efficient day. I will certainly be recommending Zafer to any of my friends who visit the city! Thank you so much! :)

We enjoyed the time of family bonding and learning as we travelled from place to place. Tour leader (guide) was able to explain the history of the places clearly
