Merhaba (Hello) from a friendly Istanbulite! My name is Yasin, a licenced tour guide who is in love with his city.
Istanbul is more than a regular city. It has been a melting pot of different empires, religions, languages and cultures for centuries! I've been living in this amazing city for 36 years and have about 8 years of experience as a guide. My purpose is not only to show you some historical buildings but also give you a chance to learn more about our unique history, culture-traditions, cuisine, daily life etc.
I am very interested in both Roman/Eastern Roman (Byzantine) and Ottoman heritage of Istanbul, so I can offer you very specific tours that you'll always remember. I have basic information on the old/medieval Greek and can read the Ottoman Turkish. I can also understand caligraphic inscriptions easily. I believe that if you really want to feel the soul of historical buildings, you should know what those inscriptions explain to us. That's why I spent so much time to improve myself in this field.
I also love photography and trying different types of healthy and traditional food. Fortunately, Istanbul gives us a great chance for them. I'll be so happy to help you with them, too!
Feel free to contact me for either a full-day or a half-day tour. I can provide you a complete program or customizable itinerary. Let's explore this amazing city and unique culture together!

Merhaba(Turkish)
First of all, welcome to my profile. I don't want to keep it too long and bore you, as I believe my life story will be much more interesting the day we embark on a tour together :)
I was born in Kuwait and lived there for many years. After completing my education at an Indian school, my family and I permanently moved to Türkiye in 2003.
After completing high school and university in Turkiye, I began my career as a Police Officer. While working as a Tourism Police officer, I discovered my passion for traveling. In 2018, I took the initiative to resign and ventured into the path of becoming a Tourist Guide.
I have traveled to more than 15 countries and still love exploring. I believe traveling is the best investment one can make in themselves.
I am fluent in English and Arabic. I believe that living abroad and studying in a foreign school are crucial factors for communication with people of different languages, religions, and races.
Looking forward to meeting you on tours soon.
Best wishes,
Sedat

Dear Traveler, I am Tugba. I am very lucky to be living in Kusadasi. My beautiful town is one of the leading Ports for Cruises. Cruise guests are especially interested in making visits to the ancient city Ephesus.
As for me, I love walking, reading books, and showing people what I find interesting and valuable in my country. This is a country whose history goes back thousands of years. There is never a shortage of seeing, visiting, and enjoying. I became a professional tour guide in 2010 and have been guiding ever since. Guiding is more than a profession for me, it is an art and a show. In time, I became an expert in making private Ephesus tours/shore excursions.
I believe I can help you make your dream come true. Not only will we have an unforgettable experience in Ephesus but also we will get to know the local people, traditions, and cuisine. . Let's travel back in time and walk the streets of this ancient site together. .
I will be delighted if I will have a chance to show you my country's best sides.

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.
Kerem O.
As a leader of the professional local guide team, I have left 10 years behind in the agency sector that I started after graduating from tourism university. At the point where we are now.

Muzaffer E.
Welcome to Türkiye! Your passionate local guide (originally from Istanbul!) is here! It is my pleasure to customize my tours for your unique experiences according to your requests.
After getting my bachelor's degree in econometrics as a valedictorian and working in finance and foreign trade sectors in Türkiye for several years, I went to the USA. When I had studied my master's in economics at George Washington University (GWU), I was offered two prestigious postgraduate scholarships by The University of Nottingham (UoN) and so, I moved to the UK. After getting my PGCert in economics from The UoN, I moved back to Istanbul and started my master's in econometrics in order to pursue a PhD. However, at the same time, I took my first steps towards my professional carreer in tourism.
During my life in Washington DC, for about 4 years, I had experienced not only being a volunteer translator for Turkish delegations and international students hosted by non-profit organizations sponsored by the US government, but also being a volunteer guide of them for cultural tours including the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum complex.
Therefore, after moving back to Istanbul, I desired presenting Istanbul - my lovely hometown! - and Türkiye to tourists in the right way and completed the tourist guidance program at Cappadocia University as a full scholarship scholar. I also hold an associate of arts degree in cultural heritage and tourism and have been studying art history at Istanbul Medeniyet University.
I have been qualified by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Republic of Türkiye, as an expert professional guide in Istanbul - Cappadocia - Ephesus, Kusadasi and on the Eastern Roman Empire - Gobekli Tepe and Upper Mesopotamia - the Seven Churches of Revelation.
Looking forward to meeting you on your next trip to Türkiye.
Thank you for your time and interest.
All the best,
Muzaffer

Hamide C.
Hi everyone!
My name is Hamide.
I'm a professional tour guide who studied and graduated with bachelor's degree. I've been guiding for 14 years with a great enthusiasm. I'm a lifetime learner and experiencer in my stunning city, Istanbul!
I love to see the reaction on the faces of my guests that happens when they let Istanbul touch their souls.
I like listening what old buildings tells, strolling on the narrow streets of historical and local markets and feasting my tongue with unique tastes...
I'm just looking for more friends who would like to join me to share my experiences!
Doğan M.
There is a saying in the Middle East called "hello". If you look in the dictionary; It will translate as "hello" but the real meaning of this word is "you will find friendship here, feel comfortable".
Merhaba, I'm Dogan. I am 27 years old, I have a degree in both international relations and international trade, a master's degree in guidance, and I am currently an art history student. 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.
Maksut C.
I'm a native Istanbulite guide and I have a great love and knowledge of Istanbul and Turkey. I strongly believe that no one can show you the true soul of a place better than an insider who will open the doors to new cultures for you. As an Istanbulite Tour Guide; I have no scripted speeches or monologues. I am enthusiastic and I love what I do passionately. Because of my local and area-specific travel information, I consider myself an ambassador of culture and my mission is to create unique, innovative vacation tours that not only showcase the history, archeology and beauty of my country you visit, but also to help travelers discover the soul of the people and their wonderful hospitality. So, you'll catch the excitement when you hear the stories behind the facade, which was carved onto the walls, that even most residents don’t know.
After providing literally hundreds of tours over the years and especially after receiving high satisfaction ratings from the travelers in my groups I decided to share my own first-hand Turkey travel knowledge and experience, the result of my own personal quest of the wonders of Turkey and its best representations of the culture such as local customs, daily life, cuisine, special events.
As a licensed and private Tour Guide, it is my pleasure to build a tour that focuses on your interests, preferences and whims and make your tour experience the most memorable and informative that you could wish for. Let me liberate you from the confines of a fixed itinerary. Travel with me in a way that provides the most entertaining, informative, amusing and memorable experience and enjoy the freedom to explore with an itinerary tailor-made to suit your interests and maximize your time.
Let me know exactly what you wish for and together we will construct an itinerary based on your areas of interest and must-see sites.
Please contact me for all your questions and requirements.

Richard M.
Hello travelling foodies, Richard here!
I am a French national, born and bred in Istanbul. My passion for cooking brought me to Cordon Bleu Paris almost 20 years ago. After working in top kitchens for many years in Paris, a job offer to become a chef instructor in one of the most prestigious culinary schools in Istanbul brought me back in 2013.
I love sharing the knowledge, passion and experience that I gathered over the years as a chef and a culinary educator during my tours. This is why I have teamed up with Deniz, a longtime friend from Cordon Bleu, chef turned professional food tour guide.
We lead gastronomic adventures through bustling markets, multi-generational specialty food stores , iconic Istanbulite institutions as well as hidden gems off the beaten path. We believe that tasting authentic flavours and learning about the stories behind them is the best way to appreciate the rich diversity of any culture.
Let’s savour all the deliciousness that Istanbul has to offer together.

Tolga U.
Dear Traveler, I am Tolga and wish you a warm welcome to Turkey!
I have been in Kusadasi whole my life.
My father was one of the first guides in the whole country. He used to take me to Ephesus when ı had five years of age and would let me speak about the history of the ancient site.
As time passed, I decided to follow in his footsteps and became a guide. I am a professional tour guide since 2010 and my expertise is in Roman history and Biblical history of Ephesus. I enjoy in meeting with new people and I take pride in showing the Turkish culture to my guests as they enjoy the sightseeing, history, cousine and Turkish hospitality.
I am especially interested in making shore excursions for Ephesus to Cruise guests, as I know they need to create a perfect balance of time and quality.
If you are looking for a personalised experience, I believe to be the right choice.
I look forward to your inquiries and your arrival!

Merhaba (hello) every body! Are you looking for an expert to help you with your holiday plans in Cappadocia? Yes, you are almost there and I am here.!
I do live in Cappadocia. As an officially licensed guide for 20 years now, I do give tour services all over Turkey. I am from Mersin actually, a coastal city of the Eastern Mediterranean, and married to a Cappadocian. So I have become a Cappadocian now:)) having spent over 15 years.
With guiding, I have so far opened the way to many people from all over the world. And guiding itself has ever opened the path for me to make new friends from all those different parts of our planet too. So, I love what I do. With this love, I gave huge effort to improve my skills and abilities for better services and best results. First of all, I studied tourism at Kocaeli University and secondly English Language Teaching BA program in Adana. I am now happy to be almost on the eve of my doctoral degree in Ancient History in Cappadocia, very soon. I am already a writer, co author of "Taskopruden Balabana" a Turkic folkloric book and Ancient History of Turkey (Anadolunun Eskiçağ Tarihi) with professor L. Gurkan Gokcek the assyriologist.
I know what being jammed in the busy life of cities mean. Once you make a jump out of the routines, you then deserve the best. I am here. Please donot hesitate to contact me for any questions. We can make any holiday plans together.
Loves from Cappadocia
