Hi, My name is Semih. I have been working as a tour guide with a great enthusiasm in Turkey since 2007. I am an active licensed professional tour guide in Turkey and willing to add personal touches to every single tour I conduct. It is always my pleasure to help travelers with their itineraries and provide them the most memorable vacation. It is also quite important to me that my guests return home with full of experiences to remember and come back!. I studied on english, archeology, mythology, religions, guidance, history, tourism marketing. . . etc at the Tourism Guidance Department of Suleyman Demirel Universiy. After I graduated from the university, I attended a language school in Malta for 6 months. It was a great experience and chance to practise the language which, I had been improving since primary school. When I came back to Turkey, I sat the English KPDS exam which is compulsory to pass to receive a guiding licence from the Ministry of Tourism. Moreover, I travelled 36 days around Turkey with archeologists and comprehensively learnt all the cities' history including with different traditions. Now, I am looking forward to welcoming my dear guests here in Istanbul, Turkey. I have the professional tour guide license since 2007 I don't drive,however I can arrange the transportation with a professional driver, when it is required.

Reduce the cost and time but not the pleasure at all! Even though it is a half day itinerary, it definitely gives you the full experience of Istanbul. I assure that you gain the maximum benefit of visiting Istanbul through my eyes. It is my profound achievement to help you feel like being an audience sitting in the rows of ROMAN HIPPODROME, being a prayer in BLUE MOSQUE, being an architect in HAGIA SOPHIA and finally being you a tourist, shopping at the GRAND BAZAAR :) Come and join me, let's explore this amazing city together!
Here is my suggested itinerary, efficiently based on the time and the distance between museums. I also would love you to know that I am flexible with the itinerary. Please don't hesitate to ask for a customized tour if you would like to. 1- Roman Hippodrome 2- Blue Mosque (after 14:00 on Fridays) 3- Hagia Sophia 4- Grand Bazaar (Mentioned places are all within walking distance and not permitted to drive, therefore we can only use the vehicle to pick up and drop off the hotel, ports, or agreed location, if a vehicle is included).
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
Depends on the location of the hotel (meeting place) and the number of visitors, transportation will be suggested accordingly. We can efficiently use public transport, such as tram, taxi or metro. If a vehicle is required, we can discuss the price additionally (because of the vehicle restriction in the old city, it is all pedestrian once you get there).
