I highly recommend Haktan as a guide. The walk with him was really informative, with lots of local advices and jokes, easygoing and enjoyable.

Haktan è molto competente e simpatico, parla un ottimo inglese e ci ha dato tantissime informazioni e suggerimenti durante il tour

We loved our tour with Haktan! Great insights, very rich of useful informations and some very good jokes included. Highly recommend!

Haktan guided relaxed , give a lot of nice historical stories, with a humerous twist! And a lot of tips for eating and even for a hammam!

Wonderful tour with lots of local information about traditional foods. Ferhat was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun. Thank you.

Really great, engaging and helpful

Amazing tour - Haktan is a very good guide :) Did both of his tours and had such a great time, learnt a lot, and got a lot of great recommendations!

I’ve done loads of tours over the years, and this one with Haktan was honestly one of the best. He was an excellent guide — extremely knowledgeable, very detailed, and incredibly interesting. His explanations brought every place to life, with fascinating insights and stories you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. I will be booking him again tomorrow!

A wonderful day exploring the foodie paradise of Kadikoy. Knowledgeable and engaging - knew all the best places to eat!

Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen, schöne Tour!

Best tour guide I’ve ever seen. Loved the experience and the info.

Fantastic tour, highly recommended

This walking tour completely changed my Istanbul experience in the best possible way. The guide’s unique dark-humored storytelling made the historical facts incredibly engaging and memorable. It was so good that I ended up attending both of his walking tours — highly recommended.

He tomado muchos tours en diferentes partes del mundo y mi experiencia con Hussein fue fenomenal. El se tomó todo el tiempo necesario, no nos apuró, nos explicó en detalle todo lo que íbamos conociendo, nos compartió comida local (muy deliciosa) y hasta nos dio tiempo para comprar souvenirs. Nos dio su número de teléfono personal en caso que tuviéramos problemas al finalizar el tour lo cual fue de mucha ayuda ya que tuve que contactarlo cuando me perdí y él pronta y amablemente me ayudó. 1000% recomendado.

Haktan provided a nice introduction of the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. He gave good historical context and also shared a lot of recommendations which I appreciated. We didn’t go to Kadikoy but that was my fault for not reading through the itinerary. I still enjoyed it a lot!

Great tour guide. He is very funny too

We beleefden een zeer aangename tour met Ferhat en hebben dingen geproefd die we echt niet kenden. Aangename rondleiding gevolgd door een heel lekkere maaltijd en ook koffie/dessert bij een vd adresjes die we via Ferhat leerden kennen. Aanrader!

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.

Responsive and intelligent guide, with a lot of wit and humour, much recommend!

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!

Haktan was a fantastic guide. We learned (and laughed) a lot. It was the perfect activity for day 1 of our trip to get a better understanding of key parts of the city. Would highly recommend.

Recommended!!

Haktan is very amusing and highly knowledgeable and conducts a very interesting tour. this is a long 3 hour tour and a challenging walk. If you are older and slower as I am, I suggest you not take it. His morning tour of the hippodrome is much less challenging and equally interesting.

Insgesamt eine gute und kurzweilige Tour. Haktan hat viele interessante Dinge zu erzählen. Nicht nur Geschichte, sondern auch über das alltägliche Leben in der Stadt. Einen Punkt muss ich leider abziehen, weil die Vorführung der alten türkischen Kunst leider den Beigeschmack einer Verkaufsveranstaltung hatte. Dennoch würde ich seine Tour wieder buchen.
