“Един чудесен ден в Истанбул”
Имахме само един ден в Истанбул, но благодарение на Сюзан успяхме да посетим всичко, което бяхме планирали, и дори остана време за чудесен обяд и следобеден чай. Видяхме „Света София“, двореца „Топкапъ“ и „Христос Спасител в Хора“. Сюзан ни разказа много интересни неща, които иначе със сигурност щяхме да пропуснем. Познанията ѝ по история на България, Балканите и Османската империя направиха обиколката особено интересна за нас. Беше любопитно да разберем как някои исторически обекти и събития в България са свързани с това, което виждахме в Истанбул. Всички останахме много доволни, че избрахме квалифициран екскурзовод, и още повече, че избрахме именно Сюзан. Тя е знаещ, интересен и много приятен събеседник. Горещо я препоръчваме!

“Suzan exceeded my expectations with a curated tour in Sultanahmet. ”
Suzan was GREAT! She curated a day's worth of touring for me specifically focused on my personal interests. Not only is she knowledgable and passionate about history and Istanbul, she is incredibly nice and easy to spend the day with. I enjoyed her way of presenting the facts while letting me go off on tangents. One of the day's highlights was lunching at a rooftop restaurant with great food and a vista facing the water, just talking about life and art. Suzan went out of her way to take me to some very specific workshops that aligned with my interests and was so patient while I geeked out! At the end of the day she also sent me links to a few other sites that would interest me and recommended that I could visit on my own. I would highly recommend Suzan to anyone wanting a personalized experience in Istanbul.

Dear Daryl, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! Designing a day tailored to your passion for textile art was a complete delight. I especially enjoyed our great conversations over lunch and sharing those hidden workshop gems with you. Thank you again for exploring Istanbul with me. I hope to see you again on your next visit! Best wishes, Suzan

“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.

I’ve been a professional tour guide for9 years, and let me tell you, I absolutely adore my job. I love showcasing my country, Turkiye, with all its cultural, historical, and modern treasures. Every day, I get to share my enthusiasm and pride for my homeland with visitors. I truly enjoy making everyone feel like a cherished guest, and I take great pleasure in introducing them to the unique wonders of Turkiye with both joy and a touch of humor. For me, every tour is a delightful experience, and it’s all about making memories and having fun along the way!

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.
