Excellent - Ozzy was a really knowledgeable and great guide. He was very professional and helpful. It’s a great way to see an overview of Istanbul with a very qualified guide. I really recommend this tour. This is not a big tour with ton of people which is a big bonus.

Excellent day with Ozzy - I can not recommend this tour enough. Ozzy was one of the most knowledgeable guides we have ever had and we do walking tours in every country we visit. His knowledge of history and his skill to impart this knowledge is exceptional. He is funny, but very respectful of history and culture. Answers all questions and while having an itinerary is not afraid to deviate to allow for breaks, and photo opportunities. He is passionate about his work and this comes through clearly. This is a very packed tour but we never felt rushed and Ozzy kept it all fresh and fun. If you can do this tour do it, you won’t regret it.

The Best Tour Istanbul Has to Offer - This tour led by Tunç was dead a$$ the best tour of the trip. As our guide, he was full of knowledge, navigated us through all of Istanbul and was friendly and charismatic the whole time. If you come to Istanbul, you must book this tour and spend your day with him to learn all about turkish history and culture.

Amazing! - Ozzy was a fantastic tour guide! He was super knowledgeable and fun not just about the things on the tour, but also about the city of Istanbul and the country of Turkey as a whole. Can’t recommend enough someone to spend your day with and see all the old city highlights! Ozzy will also be your photographer for the day and knows how to get all the good angles!

Istanbul Tour - Excellent - Our guide, Ozzie, was excellent! He kept us historically informed during the entire 8 hour day. He was also patient and responsive and had excellent answers to many questions. His historical knowledge about the Mosques and Old Town was phenomenal. He also gave us valuable local area tips during our walk. We highly recommend Ozzie and the Istanbul tour.

Amazing experience! - We visited Istanbul in April and Ozzy was our guide. We were a large group of 15, ages ranging from 4 to 45. Ozzy made sure to engage with every single member of our group. Ozzy was very knowledgeable about all yhe sites and patiently answered all our questions. This was one of the most enjoyable experiences we had on out entire visit to Turkey. Would highly recommend!!

Expensive for what it is - A robbery, to see from above. You can't go downstairs. So since they don't get what they want it's expensive. There aren't as many people as they say.
