Hi, I am Suzan! After living very different cities of the world. I am back to my home town, Istanbul. The rapid development it has undergone in recent years seems to have faded the magic of the city. As someone who was born and raised here, I need to help both Istanbul and you to hear the beautiful voice of Istanbul. We just need to get away from the main, and get close to alternatives a little bit. Fascinating! See you there!

Un-professional guru. Zero communication. Doesn't respond to the messages. & worst of all doesn't show up. She wasted my alloted time for this tour.

Suzan was very friendly, knowing, informative and fun. As I was the only tourist, she took me to the places I was most interested in. Cultural Sufi Gems museum, historical places on our way, grand Church, Talata tower. We actually visited authentic restaurant and believe me, it was quite an experience, only a local could provide. My tour was so wonderful It would definitely be the highlight if my Istanbul stay.
