    Great experience, very knowledgeable and accommodating guide!

    Yevish_A, Jan 2025
    I had a 14 hour layover in Istanbul and decided to see the city as much as I could in my time frame. So, I booked this tour and asked ahead to make sure I’ll be done in time to catch my flight. My guide Ugur was super nice, accommodating to my wishes and concerns. He showed me around all of the main attractions, giving a detailed description of each one and more. He also introduced me to a couple of the hidden gems, which was great! His passion for history, helping people and pride for his beloved Turkey and Istanbul in particular made the experience so much more memorable and enjoyable! Plus, he is a great photographer!!! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!!!
