Özkan is an amazing guide. He speaks English clearly, super easy to follow and understand. He picks the stories very well and takes you to an amazing tour in Instanbul. We had so much fun, loved his humour and honesty along the way. 2.5 hours just flew by and now we know what to visit the upcoming days in the city. It was an engaging experience, 100% recommended!
