Hi, my name is Haktan. I am a licenced tour guide who is in love with Istanbul!
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 and taught at different universities so I know how to keep 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 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!
Haktan
This tour and guide was amazing! You can tell he really knew the area and brought us to his favorite spots for a more personal tour
Brilliant! Haktan is wonderful offering great insight paced perfectly. Cannot imagine a visitor not having this introduction to the layers of fascinating history. Highly recommended!
Great tour with important information about both key topics of the European and Asian sides. The tour guide has perfect English, makes the tour highly entertaining and provides very good advise on where to go after the tour. I highly recommend it.
