She was great! Lots of good information.
Fantastic.
Loved the tour. As always Guru Walk is good. Haktan was very friendly, knowledgeable, and kept tour on time. I recommend this tour. Cheers
We enjoyed the Tour, learned a lot about culture, food and lifestyle in Istanbul. Our guide was so lovely and spoke perfekt English. We recommend the tour as would book it again! Thank you
Excelente
I found the tour really interesting and it answered many of the questions I'd had about life and culture in Istanbul/Turkey (not covered by a more 'traditional' history walking tour). We went back to 3 of the places recommended and really enjoyed the food!
Great tour- don’t miss it. Haktan is very knowledgeable.
Great guide- very informative. We had head sets so always heard what he said. We had a good pace.
Haktan is fantastic! He is a very natural and engaging guide, and the tour route took us to some not as busy areas of the city. He is funny and entertaining! He provides headsets which makes it really easy to hear him. Highly recommend.
I great relaxed tour that shows some hidden gems in the city
Simply amazing, incredibly engaging and entertaining from beginning to end. Also very professional as he gave us headphones to hear him better which is something mostly seen by the expensive pre-paid tours. Also incredibly knowledgeable. He told us he also did the old city tour but unfortunately we had already done that with another group otherwise we would definitely have gone with him. Highly recommend
👍
The visit with Haktan was magnificent! He's super knowledgeable and helped us get to know the city through its historical events, telling us about the culture with various funny anecdotes and valuable tips on where to go to fully enjoy it. He's also really funny and made us laugh a lot. Absolutely highly recommended. Thank you!
Haktan was professional (clear communications prior to walk, knowledgeable, entertaining) and a gracious guide (provided headsets, kept us in the shade on a warm day and paid for the ferry, patiently answered questions, etc). Haktan showed us the sites as described in the description and made recommendations as asked by the group. We were glad to have been on the tour!
Ferhat was great - very informative and it was easy to understand his English as he speaks slowly. The food he recommended was all tasty, unique and interesting. This is a must do food tour on the Asian side.
Halton has excellent English and is very knowledgeable about the area and the history. Added to that he has a great sense of humour so the tour is very entertaining . I thoroughly recommend it!
Excellent tour, Ferhet was super knowledgeable showed us lots of great food places at different price points. We tried lots of great food along the way and have lots of recommendations here and all over the city for the rest of our trip! Would definitely recommend!!
Sin duda ha sido un acierto total elegir este Tour. HAKTAN hace la visita superamena contando muchas historias y con un sentido del humor genial. Tiene un inglés excelente con acento americano del Este. Han sido 2,5h muy bien aprovechadas y nos ha dado tips para continuar la visita por nuestra cuenta en el lado asiático. Hemos comido la familia entera (4 personas) en NEVMEKAN SAHIL rodeado en su mayor parte por turcos por 1.770 Liras...increíble. Nos hemos sentado en una mezquita. Muy recomendable.
Great tour!
I admire her excellent communication skills and she handled the group very professionally.
We really enjoyed this tour! Our Guide was friendly and very knowledgeable! Her personal observations about life in Istanbul added to the experience. The route itself felt nicely paced. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know more about this amazing city.
I really highly recommend Ferhat as your guide to the wonderful foodie world of Kadıköy! Thanks to his tour, I felt like I got a really good grasp of the iconic dishes and food spots in the area. Ferhat didn’t just introduce us to the food, he also shared the history and stories behind the various dishes and establishments, which made the experience much more interesting and memorable. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about both food and Kadıköy, and he kindly took the time to answer all of our questions, whether they were about Turkish cuisine, the history of the neighbourhood, or simply where to find the best things to eat. You can really tell that he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion comes through throughout the entire tour. The food itself was fantastic, and having someone like Ferhat guide us meant we got to experience Kadıköy in a much deeper way than we would have on our own. I also appreciated how relaxed and friendly he was, which made the whole tour feel more like exploring the neighbourhood with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a typical tourist tour. If you're a foodie visiting Istanbul and want to discover the flavours, stories and hidden gems of Kadıköy, I definitely recommend booking a tour with Ferhat.
Very nice tour - informative and very knowledgeable guide
Haktan was outstanding as always! I’ve had him now for several tours and he’s always extremely knowledgeable and funny! He always has great food and activity recommendations also! Great job!
Haktan was amazing! So funny and full of knowledge! I had a great time while we explore many parts of the city
