Overview

I spent quite a bit of time to learn about my country’s history, heritage and cultural richness and unique geography and I want to pass on my knowledge and passion to my guests, ensuring they have the opportunity to experience the best our country has to offer in safety and comfort; with friendly personal touches.
We will visit the Old city part of Istanbul , Sultanahmet, Haghia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Egyptean Bazaar etc.
We will enjoy a dinner and a coffee together.
I will arrange the tour according to all guest’s needs and interests and use their time as efficient as possible.
I will be giving talks about the culture, language and history of the Turkey
I will be designing program itineraries according to highlights and not waiting the ques, skiping the lines.
You will be learning all about local favourite places to have experiences for a turkish bath, fine dining, street foods, night life and best shopping options also.
