An unforgettable evening - The evening with Aysenur was wonderful. She knows so much about the history of Turkey, I could have listened for hours. During the tour I was able to get to know the real Istanbul. Aysenur is very intelligent and educated and has a perfect way of dealing with guests. The next time I come to Istanbul, I would like to do a sightseeing tour with her again. Thank you!

A true local experience! - Kemal was so accommodating and easy going.
He catered to all my needs. We explored places where locals would go and explained some culture and history as well as answering to all my questions. He is so knowledgeable. He ensured I was comfortable at all times and he even took me to Latin dancing with the locals. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend booking with him. He won’t disappoint you!

Abdullah is the best - We had just an interesting and funny time. But not with a local… with a local friend ;)
It was so interesting. We got a lot off tips. Hidden restaurants and trains…
And a really good Raki
Thank you so much and think about the Cat and Karma Tour ;)
If we‘ll come back we will book him again
Best regards from
Marion and Wolfgang

Tour of istanbul - I had a fantastic time on my tour with Muhammed!I had a very unexpected layover in Istanbul and was able to book for a late night tour. Even though this was last minute, Muhammed had a fantastic itinerary set up and gave me multiple options as to where we could go and what we could do. He was also super knowledgeable on the city and history, and had stories about all the places we visited. I got to see so much of the city in a few short hours- time flew by!
Since Iwas traveling alone as a 22 year old girl, I was nervous about navigating transportation, but Muhammed helped me find a uber home and made sure I got home safely.
If I could give him 100000 stars I would- thank you Muhammed for the great tour !!!!!!

Thoroughly recommended……😎 - Aysenur was excellent…! We chose this tour to see a bit of the city at a different time of day and this allowed us to see a very different side of Istanbul to the usual day sightseeing.
We saw an umbrella covered street in great light that I had asked to go to - trivial but fun photographs resulting - the sort of sidetour that makes the difference.
Aysenur is all of the things that a guide should be - she’s punctual, polite and highly knowledgeable not just in historical timelines, facts and figures but what we particularly enjoyed was her good humour, friendliness and above all else her interest in us as people. Our discussions were wide ranging, good fun and allowed us to learn more about the people of the city.
This was a truly great evening Aysenur, thank you, we thoroughly recommend to all thinking about taking this tour.

Fun and Unique way to see "non-touristy" things in Istanbul - My short time in Istanbul was made so much better thanks to Aysenur. She is beyond knowledge about Turkish history, architecture, culture and more. I tend to ask a lot of questions and she was so kind to answer them all for me with great patience. I also loved the cafe/bakery that we stopped at, which she said was one of her favorites. It was such a unique way to see the city without feeling like you are on a generic guided tour. I left feeling like I had made a friend and can't wait to go back to Istanbul.

Great evening introduction to the modern Istanbul - We booked the evening tour for the day we arrived in Istanbul, it was a great way to quickly get our bearings, learn a little about the history of Istanbul and a basic understand the Islamic culture with visits to the both modern food and social scene as well as a number of Mosques and other historic sites. Absolutely perfect as a first introduction. Emir was friendly, enthusiastic and brought a broader cultural understanding which is so valuable in the city where Europe meets the middle east.

Unforgettable walk through Istanbul - Faruk was knowledgeable, passionate and kind! We landed and went straight to our tour and it was a wonderful way to kick off our experience in Istanbul, and truly hear and feel the city through the eyes of a person who lives, teaches and loves here.
My mom and I had an amazing experience and appreciated the guides communication and recommendations even after our tour!
