Hello Dear Traveler, Welcome to my profile! I am Ayfer, I have been a guide since 2010 and have been hosting amazing people in Istanbul from all over the world since then. I am very passionate about art, history, travel and food. I have lived in Istanbul for over a decade and when I first moved here it was to experience its diversity of culture, wonderful depth of history and energy that this beautiful city has to offer. I am a storyteller at heart and looking forward to sharing stories of some of the most fascinating people and wonderful places that give Istanbul its unique fabric. I offer experiences of history, culture, food and lifestyle as I want my guests to experience the city not just with its highlights but also feel and understand how vibrant, fun and unique it is. Other than the offers that you may see on my profile, I would be more than happy to create a completely tailored program as per your wishes. I promise you will find this city far beyond your expectations. Important note is that the tours I offer are around 3-6 hours, so the programs are not super packed and overwhelming, perfect for travelers who like exploring cities at a relaxed pace. Looking forward to meeting you in Istanbul! - Professional Tourist Guide License from Ministry of Culture And Tourism - Worked as a Luxury Travel Advisor for Turkey (7 years) In some museums, guides are not allowed to enter exhibition halls, we give information about the exhibitions and give you some free time to visit.
