Onder was really informative about local food, culture, religious practices and customs. His tour was paced nicely and he allowed ample time to explore the places he was sharing with us. For us, it was a great first day tour in Istanbul!

Fantastic tour. Onder showed us stuff I never expected to find - and now have a few places I will totally be craving when I’m back in the UK. Made us feel really comfortable going into genuinely local neighbourhoods PS - Don’t be put off by the warning that the tour might be cancelled - we were worried but it went ahead even with a small group and was all the better for it.
