Bosphorus Dolmabache Balat - Benjamin was really easy going and took us to the spots we wanted to go Balat, Bosphorus Tour, Dolmabache Palace and directed us clearly to Taksim Square and downwards to Galata Tower. Had a lovely day despite the weather on our last day at Istanbul. Would recommemd Ben always 👌

An amazing first time in Istanbul!! - Bunjamin was amazing! I had twice the chance to have him as a tour guide,I felt super welcomed, he was super attentive and also a great conversationalist!
Thank you for showing me the best parts of Istanbul, even places that weren't even in the original itinerary!

Low season like a private tour - We had a wonderful tie exploring old city of Istanbul with Bünyamin. We had two opportunities to do tours with him and going on the low season was a particular treat. Bünyamin drove us in his own car on our first tour because we were just two couples on the tour instead of taking public transport. We had a beautiful time exploring the spice bizarre and going on a wonderful boat ride and he was very knowledgeable about the city and all of the building we saw on the boat ride. Then we had the most spectacular yummy Fish lunch, the fish was so fresh and cooked to perfection.
the second tour we had with him was at the end of our trip and it was just me and my friend. We walked to the mosques and sites in the nearby area of Sultanahmet and on the way I realised I had forgotten to take my medication and he graciously set my friend up in a cafe to have a coffee and walked me back to the hotel to get my medications and of course this would not be possible in a bigger group but it was very nice of him since it was just me and my friend and she didn't want to walk back to the hotel. We still finished our tour on time and had an amazing lunch again.

Istanbul Old City Tour with Benjamin - Benjamin Kavak was a great guide for our Istanbul old city tour. He was punctual, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. His English is very good and he is easy to understand. If we return to Istanbul, we would ask for him again. Thank-you!!!

Loved Turkey and having a guide - Benjamin was our tour guide in Istanbul and we could not recommend this more. Benjamin went above and beyond for our experience and we had such a wonderful time. Benjamin is very knowledgable and was able to answer all our questions.

A great day with our guide Bünyamin - We had a great day with our guide Bünyamin Kavak. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history. He never makes you feel rushed and allows you to take your time and enjoy the locations. You could visit all these places on your own but you would miss out on information and details about the history of Istanbul. He was able to answer all the questions we had and we learned a lot from the tour

Our trip was called the Wonders of Turkey and I thoroughly enjoyed it! - Bunyamin was our guide for a few days of our 10 day trip to Turkey. We found him to be the best English speaker , very informed of the points of interest we visited and very courteous and friendly. I would recommend him to our friends and definitely like to visit Turkey/ Istanbul again.
