“visit to Istanbul”

Susan K was fantastic. We had to adjust our schedule due to my wife being ill and my difficulty walking long distances. He knowledge of everything Istanbul was remarkable. I wanted to deviate,from our schedule to visit the eastern orthodox patriarchate. No problem. Susan was extremely knowledgeable about the Patriarchate and provided me with a greater appreciation of the church. I had to shorten our six hour tour to four but felt I accomplished a lot.

Thank you Thomas! I enjoyed our conversation a lot. hope to see you again in Turkey!

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

Hi, My name is Didem. I was born in 1977 in Istanbul and I am a licensed tour guide working in Istanbul where my family has lived for more than a century. Before studying tour guiding I studied economics and worked in banking and finance for many years. As I was so much amazed with the rich history of my hometown I decided to study guiding and turn my passion to my profession. Today I am so happy that I have been able to share my knowledge, passion and love for Istanbul with the thousands of guests I have guided so far. I do hope that our paths will cross with you and It will be my pleasure to guide you in our beautiful Istanbul.

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
