Serken was recommended by my partners friend who visited Istanbul few weeks ago fro United Kingdom. Serken came to pick us up from our hotel and took us to see Hagia sophia mosque, Topkapi Palace museum Blue Mosque and Hipodrome, was very friendly and polite throughout. Gave us a full guided well Explained tour, nothing to rushed took his time. Also dropt us back at the hotel. Would recommend to use him.

Serkan picked us up from our hotel in Sultanahmet. He was very kind and friendly. He personalised the tour to meet our needs and kept us informed all the way. He had fantastic knowledge about the history and culture of the beautiful city of Istanbul.

We had a great day seeing the sights with Serkan . Knowledgeable and interesting. He was thoroughly professional and I felt very looked after from the moment he found us to the end of the day when he helped us find a taxi.

Serkan was an awesome tour guide! Always ready to help, knowledgeable about the places we went to, eg. Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc. I was a part of an Umrah (small Islamic pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia) with a transit in Istanbul. Serkan was helpful and understanding that I didn't want to overtire myself. He accompanied me shopping for Turkish delights/sweets and chatting about his experiences (also in Indonesia!). Would love to be in Serkan's company if I ever travel to Istanbul again.
