Top class tour. Great little stories about the places that you wouldn’t find in a book. Hakan knows his stuff and a great sense of humour. Was on my own but made us all feel welcome and part of a the group. A gent. 10/10
Great tour wit Hakan!!! Thanks a lot for all the explanation and tips!
Had such an amazing tour with Hakan- knowledgeable, fun, friendly and provided a very useful guide of Istanbul. There was key history told in story form as well as cultural information and tips tied in. Learned a lot during the walk. We did a few tours- this was the best of all. Highly recommend this tour as the go-to in Istanbul !!!
Thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an excellent introduction to the richness of Istanbul's history. Hakan leads a well-balanced tour to include both important and interesting facts in politics, religion, society and culture, and occasionally touched upon relevant bits aboutTurkey's situation today, linking the past and the present, that I found particularly fascinating. He also offer very practical tips to make your stay in Istanbul an authentic one. Highly recommend it.
