A tour you can really enjoy... - I went on a trip with my family and emrullah showed us many places. He gave us a very calm and pleasant tour. His experience and enthusiasm for his profession added a lot to us. I definitely recommend joining the tour with him.

Thank you emrullah! One of the best tour! - We were very lucky because we met emrullah who was a very good guide. he showed us everything in the historical area. The restaurant he took us to for dinner was a masterpiece. Thanks to him we didn't wait in line at any ticketed place. Thanks to him, it was one of the best tours I have ever been on.

A tour that relives the past... - It was a tour I enjoyed very much. It was especially good that we didn't have to wait in a long line. Emrullah was very successful in his job. The restaurant we went to on his recommendation was also very high quality. We talked about Ottoman history, Roman history and etc... He cares so much about his job that we were showing and comparing old photos of historical places with the tablet next to him. It's like a combination of traditional and modern tour...

See Istanbul with his guidance! - emrullah was a very kind gentleman. Even though we walked very slowly, he was always kind to us. His English was very fluent. The way he explained was very good. Since we couldn't walk very fast, we did Yerabatan, blue mosque and Hagia Sophia but it was a full day! You should definitely see Istanbul with his guidance!

Sustainability guide :) - Hagia Sophia, Topkapi, Blue Mosque and all the other places were magnificent. We passed through many places quickly, especially without waiting in line. Emrullah is very skillful and a good guide in his profession. We also had a very nice conversation about sustainability :)

Old Town of Constantinopolis - It was a very nice tour. It is especially nice that the destinations in the historical region are close to each other. The history, knowledge and survival of all of them are amazing. The guide informs with all the details.

The best guide! - If you are touring Istanbul, you should definitely do it with Emrallah. He has an amazing knowledge of the history of this city. And a great sense of humor too. So the kids got along with him well. We also took a day trip to Bursa along with him. Easygoing and really patient with us. It was a pleasure indeed. Thank you.
