5.00This tour was really something. It was not about learning history. Our guide Batu was very good. Batu did not just talk about the monuments. Batu also answered all our questions. Showed us things we would have missed. Batu even took us to a local restaurant in a very touristic area. This was great. We had a lot of time to look around each place. This made the tour even better. The tour was really good. I think everyone should take this tour. The tour, with Batu was very good.

5.00I was in Istanbul for a few hours because my cruise ship got in late and it was leaving the same day. I thought I would not see much of Istanbul. Batu made everything work out. He planned the day so I could see the things in Istanbul without feeling like I had to hurry. Batu showed me what life is like for people who live in Istanbul. He took me to a place to eat and I got to try the food that local people eat. We even had a beer together. It was nice to have someone show me around Istanbul like that. If Batu can make a short visit to Istanbul much fun I think a whole day with him would be even better. I think people who are going to Istanbul should go on a tour, with Batu

5.00Batu was very nice and accommodating to our family as we have our 1 year old in tow. He knew a lot of the history of the Big Three and we were shown the local shops and restaurants and even tried real Turkish coffee.

5.00I went on a great tour and our guide was fantastic. Batuhan was very smart and easy to talk to. He told us lots of things that I would not have noticed by myself. The whole tour was fun from the beginning, to the end. Batuhan helped me understand Istanbul better. I also had some stuff I wanted to buy from Istanbul and Batu recommended us places we can get them from. We got to go without waiting in line and we started early so everything was easy and we did not have to deal with big crowds. This tour is great if you want to learn about the little things you might otherwise miss.
Perfect Day

5.00My guide Batu is very thoughtful & accommodating, when my flight got delayed and my arrival time was unclear. He had planned the routes to avoid closure, and with stops at key points of interests to explain background & history. Plus answer to questions and great intellectual conversations about landmarks, history, current events..etc. For someone who doesn’t have much time in Istanbul and knowing little about Istanbul & Turkey, Batu is your guy!!
Thank you, Batu!

5.00The guide Batu was punctual. Advised to start a little earlier to avoid crowds. Please facilitate the purchase of tickets for the planned activities. We were lucky, as we did not wait long to enter the Cisterna. Good lunch, good company. I recommend.
