Haluk T.

Hi, I’m Haluk, a licensed tour guide and a fourth-generation Istanbulite. I was born and raised here, and I enjoy sharing both the city’s history and the changes I’ve seen in its neighbourhoods during my own lifetime. For me, a good tour starts with getting to know you. I like to spend the first few minutes understanding your interests and finding a pace that suits you. Some guests enjoy detailed conversations about history and architecture; others prefer a broader introduction, with time for local food, questions and a tea or coffee break. I received my guiding licence in 1997 and returned to tourism full-time in 2011 after a career in banking. Guiding Turkish groups in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Egypt has also shaped how I explain my own city. I enjoy connecting Istanbul’s history, architecture and traditions with the wider Mediterranean world. We might explore the imperial monuments of the Old City, walk through Fener and Balat, or cross to Kadıköy for its markets, local restaurants and bookshops. I particularly enjoy helping guests start a conversation with people they might otherwise simply walk past, including booksellers I know on the Asian side. Whether this is your first visit or you’re returning to see more, I want you to feel like my personal guests in my own city. Tell me what interests you and how you like to travel, and we can plan your day together.

Yasin K.

Merhaba (Hello) from a friendly Istanbulite! My name is Yasin, a licensed tour guide who is in love with his city. First of all, Istanbul isn’t just a city; it’s a living museum where empires, religions, and cultures have collided and harmonized for centuries. I've been living in this amazing city for 38 years and have about 11 years of experience as a guide. My purpose isn't just to show you historical monuments but to help you feel the true soul of this city through its rich history, vibrant culture and incredible cuisine. I am very interested in both Roman/Eastern Roman (Byzantine) and Ottoman heritage of Istanbul, so I can offer you very specific tours which you'll always remember. I have basic information on ancient/medieval Greek and can read Ottoman Turkish. I can also explain caligraphic inscriptions easily. I believe that to truly experience the magic of historical architecture, you need to understand what its inscriptions are telling us. That is why I have dedicated years to mastering this field. I’m also passionate about photography and exploring healthy, traditional local cuisine and fortunately, Istanbul offers endless opportunities for both! I’d be delighted to share these experiences with you as well. Feel free to contact me for either a full-day or a half-day tour. I can provide you with a complete program or customizable itinerary. Let's explore this amazing city and unique culture together!

I have been a student for many years and my area of expertise is having a pleasant time with a low budget - just like students.

Ozzy A.

Hi, I’m Ozzy. For the past ten years, I’ve had the absolute privilege of calling the vibrant streets, ancient trails, and hidden corners of Turkey my 'office.' As a professional tour guide, my work has never been just a job to me—it is a lifelong passion. I’ve always believed that a great journey isn't just about seeing new places; it’s about how those places make you feel. That’s why I approach every tour with a strong sense of empathy, tailoring the experience to the unique energy and rhythm of the people I’m leading. I don't just want to show you the sights; I want to make sure you feel genuinely welcome, comfortable, and connected throughout our journey. Deeply rooted in my homeland, I have a profound love for Turkey’s rich history, diverse landscapes, and warm, hospitable culture. There is a distinct joy in sharing our traditions, the stories behind our ancient ruins, and the perfect spot for a genuine Turkish coffee with travelers from all walks of life. Over the last decade, I’ve guided hundreds of stories, turned strangers into lifelong friends, and perfected the art of authentic storytelling. Whether we are exploring the chaotic beauty of Istanbul or chasing sunsets in Cappadocia, my goal remains the same: to guide you not just as a professional, but as a trusted local brother and friend who ensures you experience the true heart of Turkey.

Uğur K.

Hello, I am Uğur. After graduating from the Faculty of Economics at the university, I started working in tourism. Then one day I realized that guidance would make me more enjoy and self-actualization. Because I was hungry for history, I was hungry for knowledge, my curiosity was high. I developed myself in this field and became a tour guide professionally by taking the official trainings we need to take. Here I was in the field that I was looking for and made me happy. When I first started working in the field, I was very excited, I made simple mistakes out of excitement, but they all tasted good, maybe it is these pleasant mistakes that still give the local flavor to the tours I do. Even though I travel and tell the same places with different people from all over the world, the feeling of traveling to the same places with different friends or different places with the same friends never goes away. Sharing my knowledge and empathizing with people makes me feel happy. I have friends from all over the world and this is the best part of this job. I love my job, I love history, I love people... Recently, I have been working as a mediator in order to make social use of the experience I have gained in this field and try to make a positive impact on the society I live in.
