Istanbul has been on my bucket list for years and we finally made it. Had seen lots of positive reviews about Ozzy so booked a guide with him which included my dream of the blue mosque. As I have limited mobility Ozzy never rushed ahead or left us behind. His knowledge on the history of his country and this city is outstanding. His English perfect and his sense of humour fantastic. Ozzy Ceylan is the perfect guide and we highly recommend him to everyone else.

Ozzy is first and all, a true professional guide, he might be young but he has an old soul and a true passion for what he does. I might blame him for making me fall in love with Istanbul. This guide will read you and adapt to your knowledge and interets like I have never experienced before, he will make sure that you learn while having an amazing time. 6 Stars to Oguzhan Ceylan without the slightest doubt, I will be back for more, you are a true Istanbul gem ! Bravo et Merci JP Boutefeu Travel Agent for 30 years so, I know about guides ha ha ha

Our guide Oguzhan Ceylon made the tour especially memorable. His insight and knowledge of the history and cultures of the Byzantine, Roman and Ottoman empires was staggering. His presentation was thoughtful. His delivery was not too fast nor too slow. His English was perfect. So when we were looking at something like Hagia Sophia or the Basilica Cisterns we understood their importance. He chose interesting places and people to visit in the Grand Bazaar. Lunch was authentic, delicious. Bravo!
