“Istanbul Tour ”
The best tour guide I ever had! He took me to all the places I wanted to go! And he explained all the history about the sights that we went to! He didn't rush my tour! Tour money was well spent on my tour guide! I couldn't be more happy

“Tour of the Old City”
A group of 4 toured the old city with Tunahan. He made the tour very easy for us. He timed locations where we avoided crowds as much as possible. His insights into the area were outstanding. He was very good at describing things, but also patient and stopped to answer any question we had. He also arranged lunch at a roof top Michelin restaurant that was outstanding. I would always recomment Tunahan.

“Dolmabahce Palace”
This was our second day of touring with Tunahan. He was outstanding during the tour. His knowledge of the Palace was outstanding and he kept a great pace and showed us the most important aspects of the Palace. Additionally, we toured Galata and the tower. Again, he gained access to tickets to avoid lines and he led us on a great tour.
