Do not miss our tour for a fantastic walking experience in Istanbul.
Our guide Alper was a wonderful storyteller and his passion came through in the millennial-spanning histories and stories he told of his city, He related past stories to contemporary times, and it was evident that he had an intimate relationship with the local community, as many people walked up to greet him along the streets during our tour. My friend and I revisited the sites we learned about during the tour, and this tour definitely gave us a better appreciation of this diverse and historic city.
Great guide, interesting information (not too much, not too little), good balance between history and recommendations. Overall fantastic experience!
We had an amazing tour with Catagay ! Hé is very entertaining and knowledgeable, you can feel this man is passionate about the history of this city. He provided us many interesting info and facts and took us to the main areas. Thank you !
Hugely informative tour.
I really enjoyed the walk and the guide, his knowledge was excellent and although I knew a bit about Istanbul, he educated me so much more about the city and its history
