Cherad was an amazing guide, his knowledge of Istanbul was amazing, I feel I got a taste of Istanbul that you don’t normally get, I visited some amazing places and had the best time, I will now be coming back to Istanbul because of him.

If you can get Atilla as your tour guide, you will be nothing short of blessed. The time spent with him flew by. It was as if we were life long friends and he was just showing me around his city. He took me to some well known places, but my favourite parts were the ones that were unknown gems. He was very knowledgeable, bright, caring and had a heart of gold. He knew all the right places to go and made me wish that I had longer than a 14 hour layover in Istanbul. WHEN I go back again, I will be sure to book with him again. He was just that good. You won’t regret it.
