It was a really nice experience. Emre was fantastic and make my day in Istanbul much more beautiful and easier. I was alone, so it was much better to stay with him. He was really kind, gentle, and helped me a lot, since my departure from Athens to Istanbul. He gave me many tips and he was always messaging me to know if everything was OK. I really appreciate and recommend the tour.

Met by chance not far from the Blue Mosque, when we heard Emre speaking French, we asked him if he had a free day. He very kindly informed us and came to pick us up the next day from our hotel.

He organized this day completely tailor-made for us, according to our desires and above all our pace!

Thanks to Emre, for sharing with us his culture, the love of his city and his country, for his kindness, his trust, his patience, his advice, his good addresses and his sense of humor!

We loved our tour of Istanbul with him! So if you come to Istanbul, don't hesitate to ask for Mr. Emre Önal!

I has recently the pleasure of exploring the enchanting city of istanbul through the guidance of Emre. While this city is truly mesmerizing, my experience would have not been as extraordinary without the expertise and passion of Emre. He really tailor made the tour for me and my parents and he brought us to some hidden gems we would have not discovered without him. I would highly recommend this private tour for everyone willing to discover istanbul.
