I hope you mentioned more information regarding the history of the city rather than showing us around the shopping streets. Overall as a walking tour that lasted over 3 hours there was no interesting information about the city shared. Its nice you had lunch with us, but it also felt it was forced on us. Maybe some of us wanted to eat lunch else where. Also rather than having a long coffee break in the beginning it is better to have it in the middle. Most walking tours just give us quick stopover to pick up coffee when they are explaining something and people who want could go pick up coffee. Overall it was a very disappointing walking tour. And also very disappointing to see you set your price before the start of the tour via WhatsApp. 15€ is too much for this walking tour, even 10€ is too much. People can walk around the places on their own. The only good part was that it was a very small group of 5 people. Wouldn't really recommend unless you are unable to walk around a city in your own pace.

Erkan was fabulous. Knowledgeable and insightful, he took us on a wander through the bazaar, pointing out mosques, food, historical places. He taught us how to take the tram using our credit card and showed us two ends of Izmir which would have been too far to walk. I especially appreciate his curiosity about the cultures of myself and the other participant. It made for lively discussions.
