“We toured the major sites of Istanbul on a day tour. We actually went over and it was no problem with a guide Muzafer.”
WE had a wonderful time with Muzaffer and kept him on his toes. We were 4 people who are very interested in history so we asked a lot of questions and wanted to see everything we could. Muzaffer was patient and accommodating.

“Extremely educational, amazing and engaging”
I clicked with Berkay right away , he is very talented and a reservoir of history, geography and linguistic knowledge. His passion for Turkish archery and traditional arts is definitely contagious and we were truly moved by it. The session of rich history and tour of the archery range, was accompanied by shooting arrows from the prized traditional bows. His patience and encouragement and empathetical understanding made us feel very comfortable and enthusiastic about a topic we had no idea about. Keep up the great work Berkay!

“It was a lot more than I expected. I had so much fun.”
Berkay was super nice and professional. He took me to the Archers Lodge, which is a very exclusive and antient ottoman training area, and showed me the museum and the laboratories for the construction of bows. I had a chance to see people practicing, and even had the oportunity to practice myself in an amazing VIP shoting area. I will surely return to Turkey just to keep on practicing traditional ottoman archery. Thank you, Berkay.
