Hi, my name is Haktan. I am a licenced tour guide who is in love with Istanbul!
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 and taught at different universities so I know how to keep 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 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 was able to present us not only with the history of the city, but also with some interesting facts about Istanbul in today’s time. It was certainly one of the most exciting excursions I ever had. It was not only due to the city’s rich history, but also thanks to Haktans charming and funny personality . I definitely can recommend joining his walks!
This was our 2nd tour with Haktan, and if he had 10 more tours, we would have booked them all. Fun, organized, knowlegeable, personable, genuienly nice--all around wonderful tour guide and person. This tour was the only one that we could find that introduced both europe and asia side of Istanbul. We had an unforgettable experience! Cannot recommend Haktan enough for everyone!
Great tour, Haktan has a great style of expression and excellent humour. We really enjoyed the tour and therefore highly recommend taking it.
Great walking tour with interesting information about the history and culture of Turkey and Istanbul. Highly recommend!
