Intro to Istanbul - Omer was a terrific guide, very informative, knowledgeable and considerate. Communicating with us before the tour started with directions on how to get to the meeting point were greatly appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and saw parts of Istanbul we would never have seen or visited by ourselves. Omer adapted the tour to our groups requests and interests so that also demonstrated his flexibility. Thank you so much Omer for giving us a wonderful introduction to Istanbul.

This was a very nice... - This was a very nice walking tour with Omer. Our meeting point was on an Asian side. You can feel like a local, to visit a mosque, an Armenian church, a caffee and a community market. Kuzguncuk is a beautiful district with colourful houses, now I know how to go there. And a lot of cats everywhere. Dont't hesistate to take this tour.

Great tour - We had a great time exploring the Asian side of Istanbul. We felt like we saw a glimpse of a local’s usual life, not just the touristic sides. Omer was late initially but made it up substantially during our tour. Overall, it was an excellent day
