Go on this tour with Emre! - This was probably the best tour we have ever taken! Emre was so kind and helpful. His knowledge about Istanbul, its history, and his ability to answer all our questions made for an outstanding start to our trip. Would 100% recommend to any and all travelers, especially those who have not been to Istanbul before!

Istanbul's must see historical sites - We had am amazing half day tour with Emre, our tour guide. We learned so much about the history and culture of Türkiye in such a short span of time. Emre is very knowledgeable and has a good command of English, French among others. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time.

Wonderful tour of Old Istanbul - Emre took us on a wonderful tour of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque (and avoided all of the long lines) and several other locations and then gave us time in the Grand Bazaar. It was our favorite day in Istanbul. Emre spoke very good English and was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. He also suggested an excellent restaurant for dinner and dropped us there as we requested. We would definitely recommend Emre as your guide in Istanbul.
