Onur is a great guide. He is from the islands so he knows about them and the history and culture of the islands - Onur is a great guide. He is from the islands so he knows about them and the history and culture a lot. He was friendly and made the effort to speak good English with us. He took us to 2 beautiful churches and hosted us to a great lunch

Amazing Full Day Princess Islands Private Tour ! - We booked our private tour with Onur to visit Chalki and Prigkipos islands.
Onur arranged for a private taxi to pick us from the hotel and take us back after the tour.
Our taxi driver was professional and polite.
We visited all the historical places and had a very detailed tour of both islands.
The tour included:
1. Taxi Driver
2. All tickets for public or private sea taxi
3. Lunch
Onur was the perfect local guide for this tour.
He was friendly but also professional.
He adjusted the tour to our needs and places we wanted to visit but he organised this tour perfectly in order to have more than enough time to spend at each island.
We highly recommend Onur and we hope next time we will visit to arrange another tour with him.

Fantastic tour with Onur - We had a fantastic time at the Princess Island tour with Onur, who is extremely polite and considerate person. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the island and the culture of the islands population. We absolutely love the beautiful island and wonderfully preserved wooden buildings that surrounded with gorgeous green trees and plants.
We highly recommend the island tour with Onur without any reservations.

recommended - Everything was excellent and went smoothly from the start at the hotel to our final destination. Our guide was exceptional, adding depth and enjoyment to our journey. One of the highlights was enjoying a hookah on the island while savoring delicious ice cream sweets. To top it all off, our lunch at the restaurant overlooking the sea was simply perfect.
Thank you for organizing such an unforgettable adventure!

Fun Day On The Islands - We have been to Istanbul before and have been to all of the “must see” spots. We wanted to do something different and didn’t want to do a cooking class. I contacted Onur and he was very responsive via email and what’s app.
I didn’t realize that we needed to catch the sea taxi on the Asian side. You need to leave yourself one hour each way to get to water taxi because of traffic. The pick up and delivery in a luxury vehicle is included in the price.
The sea taxi was private and nice. We went to two islands and the larger island was very touristy. We did take an e bus around the island but didn’t do any hiking. We then took a local ferry to smaller island where we had a lovely fish lunch by the water. It was a relaxing and enjoyable lunch and very reasonably priced.
Please be aware that Onur’s English isn’t perfect and sometimes was a bit hard to understand, although we felt that this added to his charm. It was more like having a local for a day, walking and chatting about family, politics, etc than being with a historian which we weren’t looking for.
Thank you Onur. Wish you much continued success!!!
