👤 About Me
Discover Turkey Through 30 Years of Experience & Local Passion
"Welcome! I am a licensed professional guide with 3 decades of experience in the travel industry. My journey in tourism has been diverse; from guiding international guests across Turkey’s most iconic sites to leading Turkish travelers through various countries worldwide. This global perspective allows me to connect deeply with people from all walks of life.
I have called Istanbul home since I was 7 years old. This has given me an insider’s soul—I don't just know the history of the streets; I know their rhythm, their changes, and their secrets.
My tours go beyond dates and monuments. While history and archaeology are my foundation, I am deeply passionate about the living culture of Turkey. I love sharing insights into our social fabric, time-honored traditions, and the sophisticated world of traditional Turkish and Ottoman cuisine.
Whether you want to explore ancient ruins or discover the most authentic local flavors, I am here to make your journey unforgettable.
