    Burak explained the history of the sights in great detail and pointed out lots of things we might otherwise have missed. He was extremely responsive to any suggestions and requests we had.

    Burak was an amazing host for the day. All the food we tried was delicious and we definitely went to a few locations and cafes/restaurants that we wouldn’t have tried ordinarily. Definitely recommend this tour!

    Thoroughly recommend a few hours with Feruza especially when you first arrive in Istanbul. A wonderful insight in the daily life.

    The stroll around Istanbul was amazing. I brought a list of sites I wanted to see and Emir augmented it with local knowledge and sites off the beaten path that made the experience exceptional. His depth of historical knowledge on the sites and of the city both ancient history and of current events of Turkey was great. 5 stars for his tour!
