Hello travelers, I grew up with the idea of exploring the world. Before becoming a licensed tour guide I traveled a lot, worked in a cruise ship in the USA, walked Camino de Santiago French and Portuguese trails in Europe, visited every single museum in small towns, watched musicals, theaters, enchanted with art and history, experienced corporate business life for about 11 years, studied International Relations and astrology along with tour guiding. I met people from all around the world, some(eg Kiribati Republic) that I have never heard of before. My passion for exploring always continued with people, my inner self and now with my city. I welcome you to my hometown, am ready to share the history, culture, art, customs, food, life style and many more gems of it. Please keep in mind that it's always a different experience with each guest. So meeting is going to be exciting to me as well as it is to you :) Should you have any request for a customized tour please inquire for a quote. *Licensed tour guide, approved by Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey. (Graduated with honors from the University of Kapadokya) *Graduate of International Relations department of Administrative and Political Sciences Faculty of University of Ege. (Got a scholarship between 2002-2005 from Koc Foundation which is one of the most reputable foundations in Turkey) *** In accordance with the recent amendments of laws regarding tour guiding in Turkey, the guides are not allowed to directly sell tours.

The Grand Bazaar is completely overwhelming. Mine was a wonderful guide taking us to lovely vendors where we were not hassled as well as providing us with history/trivia about the Bazaar. She is a wonderful guide and I am so glad that we opted for this experience. I would highly recommend it.

Mine T is outstanding. She helped make the experience much more cultural and introduced us to several exceptionally high quality vendors.

Mine T is excellent. Great walking tour of the old town area. Her knowledge of the Palace and Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque is incredible. Very much enjoyed our day with her.

From the moment we met Mine, it was clear that we were going to experience Istanbul rather than simply tour it. She is quite literally a walking encyclopedia, with an extraordinary depth of knowledge about the history, culture, architecture, and religions that have shaped this remarkable city. More importantly, she has the ability to bring that history to life in a way...
