Hi everyone, My name is Dilek, a national-licensed tour guide. I am 40 years old and have been guiding for 12 years. My husband is from Mexico as a Mexican Turkish family 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, enjoying Istanbul as much as we can. We go out, try to discover new restaurants, new museums, art galleries, children's activities. 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. On my tour I would like to show you architectural styles, historical fun facts, famous historical monuments, tell you about the people's 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!

Dilek was a great guide. Not only did she navigate through the city, the grand bazaar, local market and spice market, she also provided information and explanations along the way. She is a knowledgeable, informative and fun guide. She provided guidance on visiting other places of interest in Istanbul. We had a great day with her and I highly recommend her as a guide.
Dilek was very accommodating Took us to sites we wanted to see. No forced agenda
Dilek was very helpful. Met us at the cruise terminal so we didn’t have to try and navigate Istanbul. While 4000 stalls at the Grand Bazaar she took us to the ones that we were interested in seeing. She was extremely helpful.
