Hello travelers, I grew up with the idea of exploring the world. Before becoming a licensed tour guide I traveled a lot, worked in a cruise ship in the USA, walked Camino de Santiago French and Portuguese trails in Europe, visited every single museum in small towns, watched musicals, theaters, enchanted with art and history, experienced corporate business life for about 11 years, studied International Relations and astrology along with tour guiding. I met people from all around the world, some(eg Kiribati Republic) that I have never heard of before. My passion for exploring always continued with people, my inner self and now with my city. I welcome you to my hometown, am ready to share the history, culture, art, customs, food, life style and many more gems of it. Please keep in mind that it's always a different experience with each guest. So meeting is going to be exciting to me as well as it is to you :) Should you have any request for a customized tour please inquire for a quote. *Licensed tour guide, approved by Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey. (Graduated with honors from the University of Kapadokya) *Graduate of International Relations department of Administrative and Political Sciences Faculty of University of Ege. (Got a scholarship between 2002-2005 from Koc Foundation which is one of the most reputable foundations in Turkey) *** In accordance with the recent amendments of laws regarding tour guiding in Turkey, the guides are not allowed to directly sell tours.

Overview of your Istanbul tour

Istanbul is located in one of the most central ley lines in the world. Ley lines are believed to be energetic channels that traverse the Earth, connecting sacred sites, landmarks, and natural wonders. Being a spiritual person in this 3rd dimensional earth and in this beautiful ancient city I feel energized and have goosebumps every time I visit below venues. I believe any soul who visits Istanbul is not here for coincidence and all been summoned subconsciously. I'd like to meet and guide you very much if the above writing resonates with you.
