About Tour Guide Duygu G.

Istanbul is one of the most significant cities on earth that has been drawing the attention of great civilizations throughout the history. There isn't one but millions of reasons for me to fall in love with this amazing city.

The breeze of the Bosphorus, the forgotten stories of Taksim, the majesty of Hagia Sophia, the labyrinths of the Grand Bazaar, the smells of Turkish coffee and its magnificent flavors will take your breath away.

If It was an ordinary city, a short break would be enough for you. But It's Istanbul we are talking about here!

Wouldn't you like to witness the memories of this city through the eyes of a tour guide or a lover of Istanbul?

I have been working as a licensed tour guide in Istanbul and all of Turkey since 2006. I had spent years doing round trips around the country. Troy, Ephesus and Cappadocia were my favorite places. Later when I got married I directed my full interest on Istanbul and started doing elaborate walking tours. I'm also a travel enthusiast, so I know the expectations of a traveller well. I want you to discover not only tourist attractions but also hidden pathways that you won't find by your own. I like places where my guests can try splendid food, deserts and also places with best Turkish coffee while getting lost together in the mazes of Istanbul. This city is like a melting pot between new and old. There are also unbeaten paths which I like strolling through with my guests.

Before you book the tour, please contact me first to see if we can customize it together. Besides the tour I can also provide you with the countless recommendations for the rest of your stay.

Great tour

Excellent guide. Quite pleasant and very informative. Really good way for someone with a mobility issue to see the city. Rather than me having to keep up with a ship’s tour, she was able to adapt to my slow speed.

Thank you very much Kevin. I really enjoyed guiding for you and Mary and I'm hoping to see you again some day. Please take care and stay well

Duygu was amazing!!!

Duygu, our guide for 2 days, knew the city intimately, and offered modern information to go alongside her historical knowledge. She took us to less popular sites, such as Suleimans mosque, which were beautiful, and bigger sites like the Hagia Sophia where she told us exciting details about objects while expertly avoiding crowds. Her patience with our waking pace and constant need for snacks, and flexibility with our special requests to add museum stops made her an incredible guide. We were very happy with our experience.

Wendy G.

Thank you Wendy. It was a great pleasure to meet you. Pls say hi to everybody from me. I hope to see you again. Pls take care and stay well

It's always a good idea to see the highlights of the city during the first day of your visit to Istanbul for a good introduction accompanied by the stories of this stunning city blended with history, culture, mythology, geography and cuisine. For someone who is visiting a new city for the first time it's a place people are just passing by. When it comes to the exploring the hidden gems you may need a company.

This has always been one of my favorite tours. I've always truly enjoyed watching the elegant architecture of Suleymaniye Mosque. It's a symbol of strength of an era.After this soothing start I'm sure Grand Bazaar will shine your eyes. The bazaar is a world consisting of contemporary shops, Turkish culture and ateliers of dying arts including more than 4000 shops. We head to SPICE MARKET. We will have a chance to try the most delicious Turkish delights of different kind offered by local vendors

It's always a good idea to see the highlights of the city during the first day of your visit to Istanbul for a good introduction accompanied by the stories of this stunning city blended with history, culture, mythology, geography and cuisine. I have always been amazed by the thinking of those people walking on the streets at the time. Istanbul is not a place people are just passing by. When it comes to the exploring the hidden gems of the city you may need a company.

Do we only have one day in Istanbul? Do you want to see a little bit of everything in Istanbul? Three in One is just for you. We usually explore three regions of Istanbul (the New European part, the Historical Peninsula and the Asian part of Istanbul) with a walking tour. Sometimes we also take public transportation to see local people. We go to local restaurants to taste the food eaten by local people. We shop like local people in historical bazaars. A beautiful day awaits you in Istanbul.
