Metin was fantastic!

Metin was fantastic from first contact to the end of the tour day. I reached out via WhatsApp asking for a specific tour day with some friends when we were there for a conference. He was great at communication. Our actual tour day was amazing! We saw sites not usually on tours and he was informative and kind. We had an amazing day out on the Bosphorus. He even arranged a private yacht! Highly recommend. 10/10 experience.

Real Istanbul

Do this tour! Wonderful tour outside the tourist attractions, giving a real sense of the Istanbul culture, places, and with great food along the way. The Turkish bath was an interesting experience. Great tour guide!! Just wish I did not have to buy 2 tickets as a solo traveler to book the tour as that meant it was a very expensive tour dor me. Would stil recommend.

Go to Istanbul and take guided tours

We all know the top sites to visit in any new city, so we wanted to see the other interesting places, learn about the culture from a local, and have a hamam experience with someone showing us the way. Our all-day tour with Metin was wonderful. We spent the entire day with him eating, learning, traveling together (walking, ferries, buses, taxi), and asking him a million questions. The food was great (we were never hungry, and most times were stuffed!), the amount of ground covered was impressi...read more

In depth taste and experience of Istanbul daily life

This was an in depth tour of a wide variety of different neighborhoods of Istanbul including the Asia side. We ate, traveled, walked, rode, shopped and experienced a Hamam like locals. We asked questions about everything we saw and learned so much about the varied neighborhoods in the city. Fantastic tour with very skilled, knowledgeable and experienced guide.

What a GREAT day!

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending the day with our guide Onur for the Circle Istanbul walking tour. Onur was very informative, engaging, polite, and most of all, patient. It was a long, full day and he shared a lot of Turkish culture and the history of Istanbul with a smile on his face. We toured both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. Onur took us to many popular landmarks and local places to try different type of Turkish cuisine. Although we had the experience of riding the...read more
