Guide #62209

Merhaba (Hello)! I am Işıl. I am a licensed tour guide based in Istanbul and I do have a great passion for my city which is no less than an open-air museum. I was born and raised in western Turkey but have been living in Istanbul for the past 20 years. I love sharing what I know and telling stories, which are not in any scarcity in this gigantic city of Istanbul. I used to play football and these days I am more into tennis. I can also speak some Spanish. I have a genuine passion for connecting people with the rich tapestry of Istanbul's history and culture. Not only I guide my tours with great enthusiasm but also patience and flexibility, understanding that every visitor absorbs information differently. Together, let's create memorable experiences and explore the wonders of Istanbul. I am looking forward to meeting you and sharing my genuine love for this city during our tour. - Master's degree in Tourist Guidance - Licensed Tour Guide in Turkey. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Historical city tour in Istanbul requires a good amount of walking.

    The guide was very knowledgeable and shared with us many insights about the city. My family appreciated her service, when our previous guide had to cancel our tour due to personal reasons. Recommend choosing her when you are in Istanbul!

She gave us a lot of historical and religious background of what we were seeing. She was friendly and fluent. While I will not name the TBL guide that backed out on us, she was a real addition to...
