I believe a good guide is not only to tell about museums and history, but also to inform the guests about everything of the local people lives. That is why now I am ready to customize very special tours for my Tours by Local guests with full of knowledge and experience, any kind of tour for you due to your preferences. Since 1995 I guided guests from all over the world to let them get to know my hometown Istanbul which is the unique city of the world settled on two continents. I am a tourist guide with a lot of experience who can figure out and deal any unexpected surprise which may occur during a tour. It is my responsibility to value every moment of you during our tour. I aspire to show and tell you about Istanbul in the best manner. If you have any further inquiries, please let me know.

Overview of your Istanbul tour

If you are on a flight to a different part of the world and need to wait for long hours at the airport in Istanbul for the next leg of your flight, why not tour in the city? Both airports in Istanbul are away from the city center and they don't provide good public transportation. On the other hand it is easy to go to city center by private transportation. If you have to stay at least six hours in the airport, I can customize a sightseeing tour according to your preferences, even some museums. A short visit in Istanbul makes you learn the history, culture of the ancient Capital of Roman and Ottoman Empires and sure after that your next travel plans will be for Istanbul. Rather than sitting in a standard cafe in the airport, don't you think it will be better to sit in a local shop for a Turkish Coffee with some sweets? As any moment of your layout is precious from the first minute of the tour till I drop you back to the airport, I will make the best for you to enjoy it.
