Gaye is friendly, friendly, honest, patient, and flexible. He has a lot of knowledge of history, and gives very good tips about restaurants, shopping or whatever you need in Istanbul.

We built with Gaye beautiful memories. Gaye made our experience in Istanbul unforgettable.
We stayed the last two days of our tour of Turkey with Gaye in Istanbul, we had already been 6 days before with another guide in the same city. It was a very enriching experience.
