I am ready to welcome you to my beautiful city, Istanbul, where I was born. I'm the only guide money can't buy... I'm looking forward to introducing you to my city :)

Tour description

Welcome to Istanbul!
Istanbul is one of the most important cities in Türkiye.
This beautiful city mixes cultural influences from the different empires that inhabited this region.
Join me on this journey to answer some of the main unknowns that my city houses.

  • The Blue Mosque is one of the best examples of the classical Ottoman era with its impressive six minarets. During the tour we will discover why this is the most visited mosque in Istanbul and why it is the only mosque with six minarets.
  • The hippodrome is the center of social and political life in ancient Constantinople. Why was it the first construction in the heart of the city? What do the colors blue and green mean? What is Nika Riot ?
  • Hagia Sophia is the marvel of 6th century architecture and the center of Orthodox Christianity for centuries. What is the importance of Hagia Sophia in Christianity? What did Justinian say after seeing Hagia Sophia?




During the tour I will be happy to answer all your questions.
Do you want to know Istanbul? With this tour you will have a pleasant experience of this magical city.
