My wife and I recently spent 10 days in Turkey with Tarik Saylan, an Istanbul-based English-speaking guide. We have travelled extensively, sometimes organising our own sightseeing; sometimes joining group tours and - occasionally - hiring a private guide. We were a bit concerned when friends suggested a private tour of Turkey but it was the best decision we could have... More

Tarik did a wonderful job showing our family around on his Classic Istanbul Tour. As it was Easter weekend the sites were PACKED. He knew several ways to minimize the waits/lines which helped make the day more enjoyable. Tarik was willing to answer all of our questions and was a great source of information at all the sites! Highly recommend... More

I had only one day to tour Istanbul, so picked one of the one-day tours offered by Istanbul Guided Tours (thanks, Tripadvisor!) Wanting to find out more about the history of Istanbul, I chose the classical Istanbul tour. Both the tour and the tour guide were excellent. Tarik is a friendly and engaging young local with excellent English and a... More

My wife and I enjoyed our day with Furkan. Very knowledgeable, professional and flexible. He was able to provide both a historical and modern day perspective. He was also able to recommend and bring us to local spots where tourists rarely frequent. He is an excellent guide.

My family and I enjoyed a 2-day guided tour of Istanbul in December 2012 with Erkut Aldeniz, a professional travel agent and tour guide. Having such a short time in Turkey and having four children ranging in ages from 7-14, we were worried we wouldn't be able to see much, but we were pleasantly surprised! We saw most of the... More

I arranged this tour with the company Archaeologous, having found other reviews on tripadvisor which recommended the company - and found my initial email communiication with them to be excellent as their representative Ourania was extremely helpful in planning the trip. Ourania arranged for my family and I to have a full day private tour of Istanbul during our one... More

My wife and I enjoyed a 3 day guided private tour Sept.27-29 with guide Remziye Kurt. Remziye was very knowlegable. She kept a perfect pace and made our stay in Istanbul memorable. We got to see and experience so much more of this wonderful city in the 3 days with her than we could have in 2 weeks by ourselves.

I've been on 3 tours with Furkan as our guide and always ask that he accompany my groups. He has all the attributes needed for a guide. His people skills, English, knowledge and love of his beautiful country, sense of humour are all excellent. He knows where to eat, whether in his beloved Istanbul or outside and is always punctual...
