best tour guide ever - Serkan did an excellent job of explaining each historical site and waited patiently for us when we took our time chatting or taking photos. He truly knows what he's doing and is definitely one of the best tour guides I've met.

Overall, a very good experience with Serkan - Serkan is such a helpful and fun tour guide! He knows a lot about the history and the details of places that we go & plus point is, he can speak Bahasa Indonesia, which makes it even easier for us since we all came from Indonesia. He is also super friendly and funny, so he can live up the environment really well. Thanks Serkan!

Super knowledgeable and enjoyable tour! - Serkan was an amazing tour guide, and I wish we could have had even more time with him! He was bright and early right at our apartment door, and provided us with non-stop info and entertainment about some of the most amazing sights I have ever seen. The underground basilica cistern I'll remember to my dying day. We talked politics over a lovely lunch and ended our tour shortly thereafter. But I really hope to return to Istanbul and take another tour! Thanks Serkan!
