Ferhat is very knowledgeable about Turkish history, culture and of course the food. A few hours with him is truly a delightful learning experience. I benefited tremendously from his explanation and insights in the country.

Ferhat was outstanding! such an intelligent - genuine, kind and professional young man. It was the best experience from our visit to Istanbul. He made the day and everything we did extra special and made us feel safe and well taken care of. I could not recommend spending the day with Ferhat when in Istanbul

Ferhat showed me all the important and iconic sites. He was very knowledgeable about the history and able to meet my curiosity with my many questions. He also very thoughtful and considerate of rest stops and finding alternative movement around town when I became a bit fatigued. Excellent tour and guide. Thankyou Ferhat
