We will provide you with opportunities to enjoy the magnificence of experiencing the depths of Istanbul, which is the threshold of three main civilizations: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman.
Halil is excellent. He is a historian and scholar who has a wealth of knowledge. He also has great recommendations for places to eat and shop where the prices are reasonable. I recommend his tour. He is also the only tour guide who offered everyone coffee for free. Very sweet.
Halil is amazing - super knowledgeable about Turkish history and great at explaining both the big picture and the story behind each building. Getting to explore a hidden underground tunnel was such a cool surprise, and his thoughtful gestures of tea and coffee made the whole tour feel relaxed and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend him for a fun, insightful city tour.
This guru is highly professional and he delivers best quality information in a relaxed manner! Glad I went with the tour! Halil also surprised us a few times, in a very pleasant way!!
