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!

Our guide Dilek was perfect. Knowledgeable, warm, good listener. She customized the trip to our needs, including two refreshment stops. I feel that we’ve made a new friend.
Excellent tour. Warm and engaging, Dilek was a terrific tour guide. She was proactive in identifying some logistical challenges around our hotel. It was just one of the tours - perfect pace, informative and flexible as we tweaked options as we went. Highly recommended
This is a fascinating tour and what puts it over the top is Dilik, our intrepid guide! Here's what makes it a 5 star experience. 1) She met us at our hotel, no stress about getting somewhere in an unfamiliar environment and trying to pick your guide out of the crowd. 2) She covers all the details, paid for our subway passage and per-paid for the skip the line tickets to...
