I am a freelance licensed tour-guide with over 25 years experience. I enjoy organizing private tours for English speaking visitors to Istanbul and Turkey who are interested in learning about Turkish Culture, trying good Turkish food and looking for reliable places for shopping.My individual approach comes from a keen sense of reality (and humour) and aims to be friendly, informative, and entertaining, with stories and conversation to illustrate the many facets of this richly varied and fascinating country..

All my guided tours are private tours, exclusively for your small group of family, friends, partners, colleagues. I conduct all guided tours personally to assure you have the best possible experience of Istanbul and its treasures.

As I have studied Christianity, Archaeology, History, Mythology (as well as other related subjects) I can help you understand our diverse history and culture. I have considerable experience as a tour guide and as a travel planner to destinations in Istanbul, Ephesus, Cappadocia and the rest of Turkey.

People enjoy my tours because I know that every person has their own travel needs,so I clarify the needs of clients firstly and then build the tour towards meeting these needs. I listen to my clients and focus on their interest. I am always punctual, attentive to details, and mind the cultural background of my clients.

To inquire about rates, itineraries and reservations, please contact me via e-mail. I will answer each and every request promptly and personally. contact

As a licensed, official tour guide I am only giving tour service. In accordance with Turkish legislation and regulations, all the other tour arrangements will be made by the cooperation of an A group travel agency affiliated with TURSAB -The Association Turkish Travel Agencies.
