Zafer - einfach klasse und jederzeit wieder Wir hatten 2 tolle kurzweilige und sehr informative Tage mit Zafer. Es war von allem etwas dabei und es gab viele Insidertipps. Er ist gut auf uns eingegangen, beherrscht die deutsche Sprache sehr gut und wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit toll aufgehoben gefühlt. Wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder mit Zafer buchen.

The perfect way to discover Istanbul from a cruise ship We spent a day in Istanbul during our Costa Fortuna cruise and booked a private tour with Zafer. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. He was waiting for us outside the cruise terminal exactly as agreed and immediately made us feel at ease. Instead of using a car, he suggested travelling by tram and on foot to avoid Istanbul's traffic. It was definitely the right choice and allowed us to see much more without wasting time. Zafer knows the city and its history very well, but what we appreciated most was how relaxed and enjoyable the day was. We visited all the main highlights, skipped the longest lines, had lunch in a fantastic local restaurant that we would never have found on our own, and he even helped us while shopping in the bazaars. Most importantly, he carefully managed the timing and brought us back to the port well before our ship's departure, so we could enjoy the day without worrying. If you're looking for a private Istanbul tour or a cruise shore excursion, I can honestly recommend Zafer. He is professional, friendly and genuinely cares that his guests have a great experience.

This was the highlight of our trip Our guided private tour was the highlight of our trip to Turkey. He made the history of Istanbul come alive in such an engaging and easy-to-understand way, and it truly felt like exploring the city with a friend. Our kids were laughing the whole time and absolutely loved the experience, which made it even more special for us. The food stops were also a fantastic choice. Places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended! We we would absolutely book again next time.

Best tour guide in Istanbul We had a fantastic time on the Old City Highlights tour with Zafer! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely loves sharing the history and stories of Istanbul, and he explained everything in a fun and engaging way. He was also very patient with questions and made sure everyone felt included. Highly recommend Zafer if you want a guide who makes the city come alive!

I want to thank our city guide, Zafer! It was one of the best city tours with a guide. Firstly, we did not waste a minut I want to thank our city guide, Zafer! It was one of the best city tours with a guide. Firstly, we did not waste a minute of our time in lines at Hagia Sophia and other places. In addition to detailed museum information, we learned some subtleties and uninteresting facts about the work of the Grand Bazaar, the city's transport system (which saved considerable time and money in our subsequent explorations of the town). About the recycling system, the people who help keep the city clean, and much more. Zafer was busy with us the whole day and was very involved. Most importantly, he took many great photos of us.
