Haktan - Tour Guide in İstanbul

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

Haktan was very knowledgeable. We learned quite a lot about the history and the daily life on the Asian side.
