“Custom tour”
Serkan arranged transportation from our hotel to the old city and then to the airport which was really helpful for our group of 10 during our Istanbul layover. We saw so much in a short time. It was a great intro to Istanbul - peaking our interest for a return trip.

“5 Star experience. Totally recommended.”
We booked a full day private tour of the Sultanmet with Serkan for my family of 4. He hit all of the Istanbul Big 5 as we asked, the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topika Palace with Harem add-on, and Grand Bazaar. What surprised us was his efficiency. He got us the tickets without having to join the long cues, and headed straight for the best spots in each location for pictures. My kids were super impressed with his phone camera skills, he's got some neat skills. Didn't make us waste time shopping when we weren't interested. He's one of the best guides we've had travelling around the world.

Hi everyone, My name is Dilek, a national - licensed tour guide. I am 42 years old and have been guiding for 14 years. My husband is from Mexico and with our two young kids we live in Istanbul. When I don't work I spend most of my time outdoor with my family, enjoy istanbul as much as we can. I am qualified in the knowledge of Turkish history, mythology, archaeology, history of religion and history of art. I speak English and Spanish. Following my university graduation, I lived in England for 5 years where I continued my education studying Travel and Tourism at Greenwich School of Management. After I lived a short time in Guatemala, Cuba to learn Spanish. In my tour I would like to show you architectural styles, historical fun facts, famous historical monuments, tell you about the peoples life in Istanbul, how we spend our days, where do people go to eat, what we eat, where we shop, what we listen, the best places to eat, drink and party. As your local guide, I am flexible to your wishes and needs. Making it interesting and enjoyable for you is my wish. With all of my years of experience in the travel industry, I hope to help you make the most of your time in beautiful Istanbul by taking a tour with me. I very much look forward to meeting you all!

I was born and raised to Turkish parents in the suburbs of Chicago, I moved to Istanbul after earning my degree in History from Western Illinois University. Before becoming a tour guide, I spent eight years working as a journalist at The Washington Post’s Istanbul bureau. Istanbul is my favorite place in the world, and I love sharing my passion for the city with visitors.

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.
