Hi, my name is Haktan. I am a licenced tour guide, a teacher, an ethnographer, a storyteller and a game developer. I have even done some open mic stand up comedy. All of these experiences make my tours fun, engaging and informative.
I traveled to 30+ countries joining free walking tours whenever I had a chance and collecting the good practices of other guides. I studied in the USA on a Fulbright scholarship and taught at different universities so I know how to capture and hold people's attention when I tell the incredible stories of this amazing city.
If you read the reviews about my tours you'll see the word "funny" in almost every review. I don't want to brag about humour but let me tell you this much I once made a whole group of Polish people laugh 😎.
Last but not the least, The Guardian published an article about my tours.
I use audio headsets during my tours so you won't miss anything even when we are walking and talking.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Haktan
Best tour ever! Really entertaining and informative, gave great recommendations for food and Hammam after the tour
The tour was really well-thought and entertaining to discover Istanbul. Haktan was particularly nice and funny, giving interesting informations and nice recommandations. I enjoyed the walking tour very much and recommand it to anyone who wants to grasp turskish culture in Istanbul !
Haktan is a very knowledgeable and funny guide - highly recommended!
First thing that I did as a tourist in Istambul and couldn’t be a better start: amazing tour to give some context and great insights about the city - Haktan is a wonderful guide!
