Tour of Istanbul - That was the best tour i have ever taken in my whole life. Walking around of Istanbul and Historical Peninsula were really great with mr.Furkan. Especially Bosphorus Tour was amazing because it was the first time for me sailing between two continents on ferry! Having tried some of the local tastes such as kebap,delights made me feel as if i was in kind a different world. We have learned so much of history. Thanks to Tour Guide Furkan our tour became amazing! Thank you very much the best guide Furkan 🙏

Amazing experience with a lovely guide - That was my first tour on Istanbul. What a lovely city when you have a guide like Furkan. I've don't have any knowledge about the city when i stepped in. But Furkan is a very reliable guy who has every kind of tips about the city.

Great tour with best guide - We had the best guide -- Furkan was truly amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly. İstanbul was perfectly city and history, Furkan wove together the history and the culture of this unique City in the most perfect way. Him English is superb and him knowledge is second to none - and yet it is him personality and warmth - she is engaging and delightful. I can thoroughly recommend Furkan to you.

Beautiful Istanbul and even better guide :) - Our guide Furkan was extremely knowledgeable and gave us lot of great details on all the places we visited with him the blue mosque, hagia sofia and dolmabahce palace. He made our visit really enjoyable. He also went out of his way to help us get the metro tickets which we struggled with initially. Would use him has our guide in the future in a heartbeat :-). He was really polite and our 2 kids loved him too.
