Tolga is an absolutely amazing guide who has a very deep knowledge of the history and architecture of İstanbul, and he imparts this with extremely interesting stories and with a very gentle and understated manner. We walked around the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cisterns, the hippodrome and Hagya Sofya as well and the Topkapi Palace. Tolga engaged us with many stories as well as historical facts and knew lots of areas to show us that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen without his expert direction. Thank-you for an exceptional day and I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Istanbul

We had an incredible day with Apo; he is the best! Extremely knowledgeable about the history of the world, not just Istanbul, and has a great sense of humor. We learned so much from Apo, and everyone in town seems to know and love him. This was the highlight of our visit.
