When we realized we'll be having a 15 hour layover in Istanbul, we decided to make the most of it  and explore the city. But with so many things to see and do we were quickly overwhelmed with planning such adventure on our own. That's when we reached out to Ugur who came highly recommended by a friend. Ugur provided us with different options and created a personalized itinerary based on our requests that helped us see some of the city's most iconic landmarks as well as getting a test of some of the local cuisine.  This private tour was excellent, it included a walking tour of the old city, followed by a private boat tour of the bosphorus, we even had the chance to grab lunch in the Asian side of the city! The private airport pick up and drop off was the perfect way to make this tour seamless with added peace of mind. Ugur is a very knowledgeable guide I would highly recommend him for any tours in Turkey. We can't wait to go back and explore more of Turkey with Ugur!

My wife and I visited Ephesis, Pamukkale, Cappadocia and Istanbul. There was so much to see and overall loved the experience. Being our first time in Turkey,

we organised for a tour guide for each of our locations.

We were lucky enough to have Ugur as our tour guide in Istanbul. I've been on many tours around the world and some guides can exhaggerate and sound overly zealous like they are trying to push an agenda or sound patriotic.

Ugur on the other hand had a very pleasant demenour. He was very knowledgable and articulate about Istanbul and gave us enough information to keep us interested through the tour. I highly recommend you use Ugur Karaca as a tour guide.

I had the opportunity to discover Istanbul in the company of Ugur twice. He is punctual, easygoing and smiling all the time. He can show you around all the main attractions of the city, and share with you many interesting stories from the past. But what I appreciate even more is that he really loves the city, its culture and food, so with Ugur you will have a chance to discover local flavors and colorful shops.
