I was born and raised in Istanbul, and my family's roots in this city go back generations. Istanbul is not just my workplace – it is a part of me. Every neighborhood, every street, and every story holds personal significance for me. I started offering free city tours because I wanted to provide an experience that goes beyond facts and guidebooks. My guests not only hear the history of Istanbul but also discover the city through the eyes of someone whose life has been shaped by it. There are many guides who can show you the sights. My goal is to bring you closer to the spirit of Istanbul – its traditions, hidden stories, local life, and the character that only a native Istanbulite can truly convey. When you join my tour, you explore the city with someone who not only knows Istanbul but belongs to it.
