Hello Dear guests, distinguished travelers. I'm historian and professional tour guide. History and language learning was my great passion. Therefore I pursued a career in sociaI sciences and graduated from Anatolian University History Department , Cappadocia University Tourist guiding department. My recognised ability to communicate with people from many different backgrounds, cultures and countries has enabled me to lead tour groups with great success and acclaim. As a tour guide , I consider myself very lucky because I guide my guests in one of the most fascinating city of the world. Istanbul can be considered as the combination of the old and modern city, as well as Islamic and Mediterranean mixture of cultures in a captivating atmosphere. There are only few cities in the world that can be so delightful to experience and enjoy as Istanbul. I truly enjoy showing the beauties of Istanbul, talking about history and having intellectual conversation with my guests. If you want to enjoy this magnificient city with a local touch on a private tour, do not hesitate to write to me, it will always be a pleasure to reply to your enquiries! Besides all my tours can be customized and I can even create a tour based on your preferences. *Guiding licence approved by the Ministry of Cuture and Tourism of Turkish Republic.

This isn’t your typical tour. No fixed schedule. No crowded group. Just you, your guide, and a private car. We start by meeting face-to-face, over coffee or tea, where I’ll introduce you to Istanbul—its history, culture, neighborhoods, and hidden gems. Then, we plan your day together, based on your interests, energy, and curiosity. This tour is professionally organized by Enes Tur Turizm Seyahat Acentası Ltd. Şti., a Class A licensed travel agency registered with the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Forget cookie-cutter tours and rigid schedules. This is a new kind of Istanbul experience — one that starts with a conversation, not a checklist. We’ll begin your day by meeting in person, where I’ll introduce you to the city’s history, culture, neighborhoods, and hidden gems.
