A must-do when visiting Istanbul - Oguzhan is very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a fantastic tour with him and would recommend this to everyone visiting Istanbul. He is very well-versed in the history of every location.

Lovely Intro to Istanbul - We had a wonderful day with Oğuzhan on our small group tour! He was so incredibly knowledgeable, but at the same time kept things on topic (no long tangents that didn’t connect back) and was super willing to answer questions. The tour is all in the same area of the old town so it’s actually not that much distance walking but a ton of standing (like, all day). Lovely intro to the most famous mosques, palace, etc. Thank you!

This is the one - Amazing tour guide! Ozzy is incredible knowledgeable. Ask him lots of questions on history to get the most from the tour. Be prepared for a couple of the standard gratuitous so visits, but there are things to learn there too.

The best day with the best guide! - We had an unforgettable day touring Istanbul with the wonderful guide, Oguzhan. From the moment we met, his amazing energy set the tone for a fantastic experience. He was incredibly easy to listen to — both for me and my teenage son — making the rich history of the city accessible and fascinating for all ages. Oguzhan’s deep knowledge and the way he shared captivating details about the city’s past brought each location to life. The 9 hours flew by, and not once did it feel overwhelming. The tour was perfectly balanced, mixing major highlights with hidden gems, and it was the ideal way to start our visit. It gave us a strong understanding of Istanbul’s history and layout, making the rest of our trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended — you won’t find a better guide to kick off your Istanbul adventure!

6 Stars if I could - Ozzy was a gem of a tour guide! Most guides are good, but he was great! You can tell he loves his country and is so knowledgeable on the history. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better guide on this tour. Side note, if you like pictures taken, he knows the spots at each location and gets the perfect lighting and angles! 12/10 time for me.
