Hi, my name is Haktan. I am a licenced tour guide, a teacher, an ethnographer, a storyteller and a game developer. I have even done some open mic stand up comedy. All of these experiences make my tours fun, engaging and informative.
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 on a Fulbright scholarship and taught at different universities so I know how to capture and hold 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 whole 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!

Entertaining and knowledgeable, highly recommended. Best tour guide I've had so far. Cheers.
Haktan's tours are wonderful. Very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour. Great recommendations (food/activities/local/authentic spots and experiences that are very well priced) 10/10, I literally signed up for another one of his tours as soon as we finished the first.
Excellent tour to learn from the historical facts to practical info and tips to survive in Istambul. Haktan is a master in engaging with his audience and mixing the serious with the fun stuff. 100% recommended!
So glad we chose this tour. Haktan was very knowledgeable and witty. We enjoyed his sense of humor, which was a fun way to learn about the history of the city. The selection of spots to visit was excellent as well. Thank you, Haktan!
