It was my first time in Turkey, so it was important to hire a guide that was knowledgeable. Ozgur is just that! He knows the rich history of Istanbul and Turkey at the back of his head, and also knew of not only the tourist sites, but also the little nooks and crannies that only true locals would know. There was never a missed step; every location we visited was a hit. My family and I felt comfortable throughout our tour with him. Since coming home, we miss it often. It speaks volumes of not only the beauty of Turkey, but also the excellent service provided by the tour. Can’t wait to come back again!
