We are three licensed tour guides with a background in history and archaeology. We were born in Istanbul, raised in Istanbul, and educated in tourist guiding in Istanbul. Our passion is to guide you through the captivating journey of Turkish culture and cuisine. We will provide you with opportunities to enjoy the magnificence of experiencing the depths of Istanbul, which is the threshold of three main civilizations: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman.
Mustafa was amazing. He shared fascinating insights into daily life in Turkey and made the experience both informative and enjoyable. He took us to a beautiful kilim store and offered great recommendations for tea and spice shops, as well as local restaurants. He was incredibly generous with his time and stayed longer than planned. Every minute was engaging—he truly held our attention throughout. He also created a warm and friendly atmosphere within our small group. I highly recommend this tour!
Loved this tour with Mustafa. The tour was fantastic - both informative and entertaining - I would 100% recommend booking with Mustafa
Was a great tour was sorry to leave early for a flight
As a GuruWalk guide myself, I would say Halil is really the kind of guru you should look for when you’re in Istanbul! ⭐️ He was introducing clearly with a handbook of historical pictures and making sure everyone on his group was being taken care of by engaging with them individually. Most importantly, he has some connections with several local business owners, so were it not for him, we wouldn’t be able to visit several interesting spots like the ancient gambling underground tunnel and the antique hotel rooftop to enjoy the city view! 🤩 We’re also lucky to be able to have a quality coffee and cake time ☕️ with Halil after the tour ended and chatted about other topics that weren’t possibly be covered during the official course. Thanks so much Halil for making one of the best memories during our stay in Istanbul!!
The tour was really nice and Halil is a great guide, giving interesting facts and good quality advice to wander around Galata correctly. We really appreciated the medium sized group, and the possibility to borrow headphones. Halil is also a really good english speaker. Join him !
