Hi, my name is Haktan. I am a licenced tour guide who is in love with Istanbul!
I traveled to 30+ countries joining free walking tours whenever I had a chance and collecting the good practices of other guides. I studied in the USA and taught at different universities so I know how to keep people's attention when I tell the incredible stories of this amazing city.
If you read the reviews about my tours you'll see the word "funny" in almost every review. I don't want to brag about humour but let me tell you this much I once made a group of Polish people laugh 😎.
Last but not the least, The Guardian published an article about my tours.
I use audio headsets during my tours so you won't miss anything even when we are walking and talking.
Looking forward to meeting you!

I strongly recommend this tour. I enjoyed the places we visited and the way Haktan explained us about the history behind. Very entertainment and prepared for a free walking tour. I really enjoyed it!
Haktan is such a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. We were kept interested and engaged for 3 hours without ever switching off... Haktan s sense of humour also helped, we did have a good laugh a few times. Plenty of recommendations for visitors to continue on their visit of this beautiful place.
Informative, entertaining, and thought provoking. The time flew by very quickly. Highly recommended guide.
Second tour I’ve done with Haktan, he is very funny and you will have a great time. The Asian side of Istanbul was even better than the European side, less crowded and cheaper, definitely recommend it !
