Ugur was the tour guide for my family of 10 people. He made our trip a wonderful one and he is an excellant and experianced tour guide. His extensive knowledge on the history of Istanbul was very apparent and he would communicate the stories to us very well. Even though English isn't his first language, he has extremely good command over it. He was also very patient and accomidating with handling a big group like ours. Our Istanbul trip would not have been the same without him! He is also a very warm, good hearted and easy-going  person who became like a part of our family by the end of the trip! Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Istanbul! 

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.
