Top notch tour and tour guide. We were lucky enough to get Furkan as our tour guide. He was, charismatic, funny, engaging and informative. We met one of the chefs featured on chef’s table and ate at his wonderful restaurant. We explored the Asian and European sides. You will not regret this.

This tour was one of the highlights of our amazing stay in Istanbul. Furkhan was our guide, extremely knowledgeable, affable, patient with our youngsters, funny, and just one of the coolest people I have encountered on my travels. It was a cold n rainy day, so rather than canceling the tour we were so looking forward to, he adapted to the conditions and turned the walking tour into a sprinter tour of two continents! We ate delicious food at restaurants frequented by locals, walked quaint charming back streets, and learned about the culture and history of this unique city. This was an epic n unforgettable tour! Thank you Furkhan

We just got back from Istanbul and hired Furkan from Private Istanbul Walking Tours. He was EXCELLENT!!! We told him we were most interested in learning about Turkish culture, politics, and regular life in Istanbul. He tailored our tour and gave us exactly what we wanted, even checking with us several times during the tour to make sure that he was focusing his tour the way that we wanted. Furkan had us stop to try local food throughout the day, including a fantastic huge meal with 20+ different dishes at a restaurant where the chef/owner (who was featured in Chef's Kitchen on Netflix) hugged and greeted him very warmly. He left us with several more recommendations that were excellent, including a mosque that we hadn't planned to see, but it turned out to be our favorite (Rustem Pasha). We've been on dozens of guided tours and Furkan was one of the best...and he was inexpensive too!
