Perfect - Cenk Akbostanci, He was the most amazing tour guide we have ever had. We have traveled all around the world and never have we had a more knowledgeable guide, but most of all kinder and caring. Cenk went out of his way to make our trip perfect. He knew everything you ever wanted to know about Turkey. Where ever we went people knew him. My husband had something that was really important to him he wanted to do and Cenk went on his own time to make it happen. There was nothing Cenk would not help you with or question you had all you had to do was text Cenk and he answered. Turkey was great but we were really blessed by having a wonderful man become family. We will always remember our trip to Istanbul. If you go ask for Cenk. Because of Cenk we will be coming back to Istanbul in the near future. Truly a wonderful experience

Amazing tour of Istanbul with Cenk - After being referred from our hotel, the Four Seasons at The Bosphorous, we all met our tour guide Cenk.
He made the tour one of the best I've ever been on. He was knowledgeable, extremely polite and really catered the tour to everyone.
We saw all of the sights, ate amazing food at local restaurants and got an immersive experience of the rich history of Istanbul.
I couldn't recommend this tour and Cenk enough.
Thanks again

Great tour guide for Istanbul - The Four Seasons Sultanahmet recommended Cent (“Jenk”) Akbostanci as our full day tour guide. He was more that just a tour guide. I can truly say we have made a life long friend. Not only was he knowledgeable about all of the sights we saw (which are too many to list) on the 7 hours we spent together, but we got a taste of the true delights of Istanbul. We felt like very special guests everywhere. We ate delicious foods at local restaurants and he brought us to the best shops for authentic souvenirs. Many memories were made and he took great photos of us throughout the day. Will recommend him to our friends and will definitely reach out to him for future visits. His tour was the highlight of our trip.

Highlight of our week in Istanbul! - We absolutely loved this private day tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to experience the wonders of Istanbul. Our guide Ilgin was brilliant - super friendly, extremely knowledgeable - educating us not only on Turkey’s rich history but gave us an inside view of its fascinating culture. Ilgin toured us through all the city's most famous sites: Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cisterns, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, explaining everything to us in perfect English. We never felt rushed; he took time with us to sit down in a charming cafe and share some of the traditional Turkish foods. He also brought us to terrific shopping venues we would not have found on our own. Thank you again Ilgin - we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to show us around this fantastic city!
