Welcome to Istanbul – A City Like No Other Istanbul isn’t just a city; it’s a living tapestry of history, culture, and stories that have shaped the world for centuries. From the ancient civilizations to the vibrant modern-day energy, this city never ceases to amaze. There are countless reasons why I’ve fallen in love with Istanbul, and I can’t wait to share them with you. The breeze of the Bosphorus, the hidden tales of Taksim Square, the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, the maze-like wonders of the Grand Bazaar, the rich aromas of Turkish coffee – all of these will leave you spellbound. Istanbul is far from ordinary. A quick visit simply won’t do justice to its endless layers. You’ll want to experience the city through the eyes of a true local – and I’d be honored to be your guide. With over 18 years of guiding experience, I’ve had the privilege of exploring the entire country, from the ancient ruins of Troy and Ephesus to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia. Later when I got married I directed my full interest on Istanbul and started doing elaborate walking tours. I'm also a travel enthusiast, so I know the expectations of a traveller well. I want you to discover not only tourist attractions but also hidden pathways that you won't find by your own. I like places where my guests can try splendid food, deserts and also places with best Turkish coffee while getting lost together in the mazes of Istanbul. This city is like a melting pot between new and old. There are also unbeaten paths which I like strolling through with my guests. Before you book the tour, please contact me first to see if we can customize it together. Besides the tour I can also provide you with the countless recommendations for the rest of your stay.

Overview of your Istanbul tour

You have a very limited time but still want to get the most of Istanbul. Don't worry because I prepared a comprehensive two days tour for you. As Napoleon once said if the whole world was only one state, Istanbul would be its capital. In this 2 days tour I will have plenty of time to prove him right. Sometimes we will discover the highlights of the city and other times we will find ourselves in the most crowded streets and bazaars of Istanbul or while taking the fresh air of Bosphorus. This city is very diverse in terms of culture and history. Istanbul witnessed the fall of two empires and both glorious and miserable days of emperors. There will be a lot to talk but also a lot of time to mention about most of these. A city like this of course can not be discovered without walking. I suggest you to prepare your most comfortable shoes and also your camera in order not to miss the opportunity to make your moments immortal in this marvelous city.
