"Anyone who is in Istanbul for any amount of time and wants to connect with a genuine, highly educated and experienced person - Esra is at the top of the list! She not only hits all the highlights at a pace you are comfortable with but is also super flexible, confident and easy to work with. Whether it’s spending more time with your questions or taking you to off the touristy areas, she is there for you! My wife and I have never been to Istanbul and the hustle and bustle, aggressive solicitations from vendors at every turn and so much to see…we would have been lost in minutes! She leads the way with confidence and her vast experience with fast tracking huge lines, ticket purchases and knowledge are invaluable. She goes out of her way and well beyond the expectations for the duration of the tour to provide guidance with best restaurants, reservations all to meet your highest expectations. A more engaging down to earth person who exudes a passion and enthusiasm for her city and country is hard to imagine. Don’t hesitate - book today! Jon and Jodi from BC, Canada 🇨🇦 I would have given /10 for price rating value but (personally) don’t like that the “Withlocals” takes such a high percentage/cut of the total rather than have more go directly to the guide…regardless, they are lucky to have her and so will you be if you book her."
"Esra saved our day, literally. It was our first full day in Istanbul, and we were more than a bit grumpy after a more than aggressive sales pitch from a local merchant who all but physically drug my wife into his shop. A tough first impression, and we were rattled. Then we met Esra. Everything got better from there. Kind, patient and so caring, she took us under her wing and showed us so many sights, filling us with information and maximizing our time. My wife's knees aren't great, and I am still recovering from two(!) broken legs, and Esra took pains to help us, even commandeering the wheelchair lift at the Sistern. Amazing! She was our advocate, and our friend. We toured the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia, the Sistern, ate a wonderful lunch at a cafe she recommended, and hit the Grand Bazaar -- all in one day! Esra even lined up an evening performance of the Whirling Dervishes at a nearby cultural center for us -- it was fascinating and so relaxing. Even after our tour was over, Esra kept the tips coming, suggesting an amazing Ottoman restaurant for dinner the following evening and scoring us a reservation. We felt like we made a friend. And we did far more than we could have on our own. The value of a guide like Esra can not be overstated. She's a true professional. "

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Esra as our city tour guide! We were a group of five friends from Germany, and she truly made our time unforgettable. Esra is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and her knowledge of the city is outstanding. She was able to answer every single question we had with ease and enthusiasm. What we appreciated most was her flexibility—she offered great suggestions and ideas but was never pushy, always adapting the tour to our wishes. A real highlight was when we ended the tour together in a cozy café, enjoying Turkish coffee and great conversation. Beyond the tour itself, Esra went above and beyond: she recommended an excellent restaurant near our hotel, called ahead for us, and even discussed a food intolerance with the manager to make sure everything would be perfect. She also suggested the ideal time for us to go so we could enjoy a beautiful sunset from the rooftop—and everything worked out flawlessly. Even after the tour, she checked in to make sure we were having a great time. You could truly feel how much she cares about her guests. We can wholeheartedly recommend Esra as a city guide—she is simply fantastic. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!"
"We were so lucky to have Cengiz for our 2 days in Istanbul - he was amazing! We had originally booked him just for one day, but he was so wonderful we asked him to do another day with us. We were a family of 4 with daughters 19 and 22 and he totally got us all as a family and understood the kind of tour we wanted. I could feel him flexing and adapting the tour as he got to know us as a group more and more. It was raining for our trip to Istanbul but Cengiz made it not a problem at all, brought lots of energy and laughter and made it a real experience. He took us to all the big sites and his knowledge and bringing the buildings and stories to life was wonderful. But he also took us to the back streets, took us to local cafes we'd never have found ourselves for lunch, and told us about Turkish history, life today and the changes around. HE was our trip to Istanbul. He made the city come alive and we loved every moment. We highly highly recommend him - go and book him!"
"We were a group of 4 from UK and Australia. We booked online not knowing which guide to choose. We soon realised that we had hit the jackpot with Bulent! He was amazing!! Bulent's ability to understand what we needed in regards to the sights and the amount of detail and depth of information was fantastic! Bulent was a wealth of information but didn't overwhelm us, he answered all our questions, of which there were many, in a very thoughtful manner. Bulent has a great sense of humour which suited us all and the males in our group loved the banter. We visited the attractions we wanted to see and then Bulent took us to a great local cafeteria for a marvellous lunch. We were all incredibly impressed with Bulent's local and international knowledge. We all agreed that we had found the best tour guide in Istanbul. Thank you Bulent for such a great adventure and sharing your knowledge. Don't hesitate to book Bulent if you need a guide around this amazing city."
"We had a great time with Cengiz. He was prompt, thoughtful and interesting. He engaged with each member of our group individually as we were walking and talking, learning more about what we each wanted to see and do. He was flexible and continued to customize the tour as we went, with plenty of good stories, historical context and background information through the day. The full day city tour of Isatanbul highlights was a lot to see and do, and he kept us moving and learning without ever feeling like we were rushing around. It was also very appreciated that he had recommendations for our whole time in Istanbul, virtually providing support, recommending restaurants, calling contacts and generally helping to make the entire trip enjoyable. Thank you Cengiz!"
"We had an incredible experience using the Withlocals app for our tour in Istanbul. We booked the eight-hour tour with Gülce, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. She took us all around Istanbul and showed us so many of the iconic sights, but what really stood out was how knowledgeable she is. Gülce shared the history, culture, and stories behind everything we saw, which made each stop so much more meaningful. One of the best parts of the day was the food experience. She guided us through a fantastic local food tour where we got to try traditional dishes and flavors that we probably would have never discovered on our own. It gave us a real taste of the culture, not just the landmarks. Gülce also showed us hidden gems and spots around the city that you’d never find if you were exploring on your own. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring Istanbul with a knowledgeable local friend. If you’re planning a trip to Istanbul and thinking about booking a tour through Withlocals, we highly recommend requesting Gülce. It was an unforgettable day and an amazing way to experience the city."
"My son and I were visiting Istanbul for the first time, and Oguz understood the assignment. We hit the highlights of all the top spots, outlined us with deep dive activities to do on our own later through the week in each area. Pro tips, off the path food vendors, coffee shops... hands down the perfect tour after asking us a few questions and getting to know each other while touring the Blue Mosque. Would recommend him or a small or big group, sight seeing or cutlutural deep dive. He is a wealth of knowledge and pro!"
"Cengiz was great with our two boys who are 7 and 9. He engaged them in little games and knew when they would be bored by the history that the adults were interested in, so found spots for them to play. We did the blue mosque and basilica cistern and then he took us to the grand bazaar and some secret spots. Cengiz seemed to know everyone and was very talented at getting us to skip lines. Would highly recommend Cengiz for any tour and particularly for families! "
"A wonderful day was spent with Ayse! She catered to every request we had and gave us options though out the day. Our plans kept changing as the day went on and she had endless options to give us. She's very friendly and was absolute pleasure to spend the day with. I highly recommend having Ayse as a tour guide for the day. It felt more as a friend was showing us around the area than a tour guide."
