l think he is a philosopher who still alive and you can reach him out. Apo is not only a professional experienced tour guide but also knowledgeable and intellectual one. There is no any limit to ask him about city, history and Turkish cuisine. l had the best gourmet tour with him and all l've tested and felt still on my tongue. Finally, we became a good friend and hanging out in every chances. Highly recommend pure spirit, enthusiastic person. Do not miss your chance to meet with him.

Within the first 10 minutes, we felt like we were touring Istanbul with a Friend. I'm always nervous paying a "stranger" to take us on a tour. Apo makes you feel at ease immediately . . .and confirms you made the right decision. Any guide can learn information (and his is knowledge is skilled), but Apo's ability to put you at ease is epic. And in a city that is "mysterious" to most outsiders, our comfort level was crucial . . .and Apo stepped up! He knows everyone, and everyone knows him; in a city the size of Istanbul, that is always a good sign. One of his strongpoint, too, is recommending places for you to go AFTER your tour. Restaurants, hamams, trinket shops. Take a pencil so you can write down all his recommendations for your time AWAY from him, later. If I am wrong, come back to TripAdvisor and scold me, but I am sure I will not hear that from anyone.
