Merhaba Dear ToursByLocals Guest! I am a licensed tour guide who is in love with this vibrant and beautiful city. Every single day I have another reason to love it even more. Istanbul is a city that has been capital of three civilizations for more than 1. 600 years. I have tours for most requested itineraries. You can find the itinerary that suits you the best. Or you can write me for a custom made private itinerary to suit you the best with the perfect balance of history, architecture, culture, shopping, friendly local people and delicious food. I would love to show you the highlights of the city not only with the history of it but also with interesting real life stories and facts behind it. So be prepared to fall in love with Istanbul. * Guiding licence approved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkish Republic. ** Certificate for Specialization for Guiding in Istanbul aproved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkish Republic and Istanbul Chamber of Guides. ***In accordance with the recent amendments of laws regarding tour guiding in Turkey , the guides are not allowed to sell tours.

This is a walking tour of the lively streets in the city, where locals are enjoying their glass of wine or traditional local drink "raki". You will also enjoy traditional turkish tapas which we call "meze" The itinerary is scheduled as below, but it can be customized according to your wish.
This is a must tour. Highly recommend Cicek as a tour guide. She showed us a number of wonderful gems along the way - old bookstores, hidden alleys, alcoves of restaurants and cafes- that we would have walked past without her expertise. We did 3 tours with Cicek and loved each one. She is one of the best guides we have ever worked with.
What a tour of a lifetime to visit Taksim Square, Galata Tower and walk the vibrant streets all while learning about life in Istanbul and all its history! So much history and sites to see please consider this when looking at tour guides. Cicek knows exactly where to take you and explain it to us! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Excellent tour guide!
Excellent!! Fantastic tour seeing Istanbul at night, taking the ferry to see the city from a different angle and eating great food at the sites locals eat. And, all mixed with Turkish history and stories. Highly recommend this experience with a Cicek.
07. 00 pm We will meet in Taksim Square. We will make an orientation of the city. And start our walk in lively Istiklal Street, which is the most famous street of Istanbul. On our walk we will see street food, churches, synagogues, mosques, consulades, shops for famous turkish deserts etc. We will stop in a local tapas restaurant and have some mezes and taste turkish traditional drink "raki" known as lion's milk. Because after drinking raki you will feel as strong as a lion and you may even start talking turkish :))) We will continue for Galata Tower, another lively area with cafes, The cafes here are famous for cheesecake with chocolate sauce. It might be a good way to finish our tour with a dessert here.
