Hi! I'm Neslihan, and Istanbul has been my classroom for nearly 20 years. I've been a licensed professional guide since 2008 — and I still discover something new every time I'm out with a guest. My background is a little unusual: I studied tour guiding, business, media communications, and history — two degrees, two diplomas. Then I pursued a master's degree at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences (HSLU) in Switzerland, which gave me a very different perspective. I learned how Western visitors think, what surprises them, and what they actually want to understand about a city like Istanbul. I also spent time in Argentina learning Spanish, which taught me that the best way to connect with people is through stories, not facts. When you're on tour with me, I won't recite dates and names. I'll tell you what was really going on behind the palace walls, why the city looks the way it does, and what the monuments meant to the people who built them. History doesn't have to feel like a lesson — it just needs the right storyteller. I'd love to show you my city. Let's make it a day you actually remember.

Let's discover Istanbul in one day!!
Overview of your Istanbul tour
Istanbul is special city with its location. It is between Asia and Europe. It is like a bridge between these two continents. In one day we will see both parts of Istanbul. It will be enjoyable. You feel yourself like a local especially when we take the ferrry for crossing the otherside. We can even feed the seagles when we take the ferrry. Every morning I am feeding them and if I am lucky I see the dolphins in Bosphorus! So you can also see them. We can start our tour with symbol of city! Hagia Sophia!Learn a bit history of the city. Then, we will visit Spice Market for tasting delicious Turkish delight and spices. Our first visit is Beylerbeyi Palace . With the local bus or taxi we will go to Kuzguncuk. It is a cute , colorful, old neigbourhood and famous with gluten free cookies. We will take another bus for Camlıca Mosque which is one of the most impressive mosque of Istanbul. End of our tour we will come back to Europe. If you want to feel the city like local, I will be here for you!
