5.00Han and Ozgur were fantastic guides. Even before we arrived Han had managed to track down paintings done by my relative in the 1800s. He found out that they were on display in the Dolmabahce Palace and even sent me pictures of them from the museum. We spent an extremely enjoyable day exploring Istanbul. We saw so much, learned a lot of history and yet didn’t feel overwhelmed. It was a perfect day! Thanks so much, Han and Ozgur.
Amazing tour! Amazing host!

5.00Had an amazing experience, our host was so friendly and so knowledgeable. He was a lot of fun and had us laughing all day. He took us to some of the most amazing places in Istanbul and also to some places that are unknown to tourists. He took amazing photos of us and even bought us both a gift to take home. We highly recommend this tour!!
Excellent tour guide

5.00Absolutely amazing and unique tour of the grand Bazaar. Was able to get a behind the scenes look at various locations that routine tourists cannot see. Great places shared to have food with a tour guide and a great experience overall. It is an amazing location and I cannot imagine anyone better to go with on the tour. 10 out of 10 recommend again and when I come back to Istanbul I will be using same tour guide.
The best experience in Istanbul

5.00We said that we wanted to experience historical relics, local cuisine, local culture, and Han arranged a wonderful day trip, and in the underground palace he also looked for a Chinese tour to show us; bought a very good quality carpet; and went to a market with hundreds of years of history and a spice market. Overall very liked! However, Han's main language of communication is English, and the whole day's walk is perfect for young people who can communicate in English and are able to experience Istanbul! Finally we bought a lot of dry goods at the spicy bazaar, and Han was very kind to help us with heavy bags, really very careful!
