About Tour Guide Yağmur B.
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!
Important
I can give day tours and evening tours as well as excursions far from the city that I currently live in such as Cappadocia,Ephesus,Kuşadası,İzmir,Sardes,Antalya,Fethiye,Bodrum etc. (simply all around Turkey & Balkan countries along with Georgia and Northern Cyprus.)
For those tours which requires a remote city visit (and for the ones that we’ll customize together for you) I will need an advance booking (best to book 3-5 weeks prior and earlier)

Yagmur, thank you so much for spending the day with us and for sharing your beautiful country with us. We truly enjoyed your company, and your knowledge brought the places we visited to life. You made our visit to Istanbul unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have had you as our guide. Thanks for introducing me to the baklava and ice cream dessert it was delicious. We highly recommend Yagmur to anyone visiting Istanbul!

“Istanbul when you have visited all the famous tourist spots”
The full day tour we did with was so good. It was our second visit to Istanbul and we were keen to see other places in the city. Yağmur was really fabulous. She was professional and friendly and with her we saw another side of Istanbul. We visited neighborhoods we would never have found without her and also saw some wonderful frescoes and mosques in those areas. She was quick to understand what we were interested in. I would highly recommend her tour. It was just a lovely day.

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.
