My husband and I are from NYC and we had an incredible experience exploring Istanbul with Furkan. He took us to some iconic spots, like the stunning Suleymaniye Mosque, where we felt like we had the place all to ourselves. Furkan's humorous storytelling was full of fascinating facts that really brought the history to life. He patiently answered all our questions and even accommodated a last-minute request to add an extra stop to Pierre Loti.
What stood out the most was how he tailored the tour to our interests. We wanted to explore more of the Balat neighborhood, and Furkan knew exactly where to take us, including a few hidden gems including some beautiful Greek churches. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he made sure to include a couple of extra spots that really made our day special.
As big foodies, Furkan pointed us to some “parts unknown” local spots to try out after the tour. Plus, he even helped us navigate our way to the Asia side of Istanbul, making the entire experience seamless. If you’re looking for a personalized, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable tour, book this.
