I'm Umit O., your private tour guide in Istanbul

Guide #32511

Hi there ! My name is ''Umit''. I studied British Literature & ELT at the University of Istanbul. I've been guiding with great enthusiasm for 30 years. I still keep my first passion of guiding each and every single day. My excitement to my country and its historical treasures kept me outstanding to my profession. My point is to have my guests breathe the spirit of the country with its historic, cultural, archeological, traditional and local values. To hang around with me will make your visit to Turkey as memorable as possible for the rest of your life. Let's discover Turkey together so that you could see one country, but a thousand world.

    My first time in Istanbul and Turkey. Umit was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable. Through the tour and discussion, I learned a lot. It was definitely 2-day well spent. After the tour, Umit also helped us make reservation at a great local kebop restaurant where we had a great time. Definitely recommend Umit to my friends.
