Hello, this is Oğuz! I was born on the Black Sea coast of Turkey and spent my childhood there till university. I studied in Konya for 3 years Tourism and Guiding and after I graduated, I moved to Istanbul. I'm a family man living in Istanbul with my wife and our two sons together. We love Istanbul a lot! At the moment, I'm a professional tourist guide and working in tourism since 2008. I like the history of Istanbul because it's such an open type of history, you may learn lots of new details all the time related to it. It's also a multicultural city where you may find the different tastes and items belong to Anatolia. Of course, a local guide will be helpful for you to find for what you look for. I like to help our guests to show them some hidden gems where only local people know and prepare some small surprises for them. It should be the best way of traveling to keep something always on mind and remember when you turn back to your country. It's the unforgettable memories you will always remember with you and tell your friends the stories you heard and food you tasted! On my tours, I offer you a different type of pleasures you may experience but I am also open to make a flexible and customized tour just for you! It's always a privilege to have a tour with a local guide! Wish you all the best for your trip to Turkey.

    His changed this tour up for us as my daughter wanted to do a foodie tour. We did food on both the European side as well as the Asian side. In standup, he picked several good places and the 4 of us shared everything. We had breakfast and lunch with a late afternoon snack under the galata bridge. We took the ferry to the Asian side to experience being in Asia! What a...

    His was an excellent guide. He met us at our hotel at the pera palace and from there we got to see all the sites. We visited the mosques the cistern the statues, the spice market as well as the grand bazaar. We took several different modes of transportation and we enjoyed our time with him.

    Oguz guided us for three days through Istanbul. He is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Istanbul and Turkey. Walking and using public transit he led us efficiently to many sites and neighborhoods not frequented by tourists. We were hoping to get a flavor of this great city and he delivered. Oguz is highly recommended.
