Ugur is one of the best guides I’ve ever toured with. Having been on more than 10+ small group tours overseas myself, I’ve experienced a wide variety of styles and experiences of guiding - Ugur truly understands how to get you off the beaten path and truly immersed in the culture of Turkey and Istanbul. He keeps it interesting and engaging , highly recommend Ugur.
Ugur goes way above and beyond. He somehow blends unparalleled knowledge with a unique approachability that makes him truly special. His English is beyond fluent; I would say he speaks it at a native level. All in all, it was a tremendous pleasure to spend two days with him in Istanbul, and I could not recommend him more highly.
Ugur means "lucky" (we are lucky to be guided by him).We are working with Ugur for a few years. He guides our groups of 50-60 people. He is one the best we have worked with (and we work with a lot of local guides in different countries). Every time he recommends us and successfully arrange different optional activities.
We are very lucky to have him as a guide, he is doing his best to make the tourists happy.
Also we recommended him for private trips (2-3 people) and he was very good at it.
