Hands down the best decision my mate and I made with booking a private tour guide in Istanbul. We were VERY lucky to have Ekrem as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us all the local insight into the city. My mate and I gave him a list of places to explore and he created an itinerary that ensured we explored all the places on the list whilst enjoying a long day worth of walking and catching transport. Did I also mention the mouth watering lunch we had thanks to his recommendation. Samsun pide in Kadıköy is a must. Definitely recommend booking a private tour guide through this agency (can also be booked via get your guide app). Thanks Ekrem for all your hard work. Look forward to catching up with you on our next trip
