Hello, this is Oğuz! I was born on the Black Sea coast of Turkey and spent my childhood there till university. I studied in Konya for 3 years Tourism and Guiding and after I graduated, I moved to Istanbul. I'm a family man living in Istanbul with my wife and our two sons together. We love Istanbul a lot! At the moment, I'm a professional tourist guide and working in tourism since 2008. I like the history of Istanbul because it's such an open type of history, you may learn lots of new details all the time related to it. It's also a multicultural city where you may find the different tastes and items belong to Anatolia. Of course, a local guide will be helpful for you to find for what you look for. I like to help our guests to show them some hidden gems where only local people know and prepare some small surprises for them. It should be the best way of traveling to keep something always on mind and remember when you turn back to your country. It's the unforgettable memories you will always remember with you and tell your friends the stories you heard and food you tasted! On my tours, I offer you a different type of pleasures you may experience but I am also open to make a flexible and customized tour just for you! It's always a privilege to have a tour with a local guide! Wish you all the best for your trip to Turkey.

Overview of your Istanbul tour

When you visit a major city, there are musts you should definitely do. A walking tour in the old town is one of them in Istanbul. It's because the old city will show you the history of both Roman and Ottoman cultures. It's fantastic to walk on cable roads while you think there's Roman history laying down under your feet. A huge mosque was built on a Roman Palace and has a little mosaic museum behind it. A modern restaurant with an old Roman cistern in it. Would you like to learn more? This city is full of secrets and hidden gems behind it. You can pass the front of a restaurant, shop or a mosque but you will never know that you are missing something really interesting. At this point, I am here to show you all the gems, to help you understand and feel all about the sights they're going to visit. Your time is precious for me and I want you to visit the highlights as much as you can with full information. It's more than just taking pictures, it's also discovering Istanbul with someone is in love with it.
