I have been passionate about traveling and discovering new places since childhood. After my highschool years, i got used to the peace of being in nature by hitchhiking and camping. I especially enjoy building international friendships and then I decided to become a Professional Tour guide. As a person who was born and raised in Istanbul, I would be happy to show you around.

"The tour must have a minimum of 4 participants"
Asian side tours less historical more about local life, showing around and tasting some street delicious.

I offer an entertaining experience as we learn about the ancient city of Istanbul, which was the capital of three great empires.
 Are you ready for a professional guide to tell you about little-known stories and local life on the Asian (Anatolian) side?

Dear guests, welcome to Istanbul! First of all, we will meet at the main entrance of the Eminönü - Üsküdar Ferry Pier'' and take a unique ferry ride from the Historic Peninsula to Üsküdar which is known as a Balcony of İstanbul. there will be information about the Maiden's Tower, which has become the symbol of Üsküdar. We will walk to visit and photograph the Valide-i Cedid Mosque ( Queen Sultan), which is almost a marble paradise, and walk through the local bazaar to the bus stops to get on the bus and head to Kuzguncuk, an old Jewish settlement with colorful houses.We then visit the Kuzguncuk public orchard and photograph the colorful houses. After that, there will be free time for u😊 ( coffee break) we will take the bus again to Üsküdar only three stops. The we will take another bus to Kadıköy which was known as the ''Land of The Blind People'' in ancient times. 
Kadıköy is famous for pubs bars and street foods. We will walk around some streets and i will talk about local life and where to eat where to drink. After that we will go to Umbrella Street which is silent, peacefull and in the shade and that will be ending point for the tour. U will be informed about transportations.:) See you in other tours ✌️


 Keep in mind:
 Ferry tickets are 18+23 = 38
 Bus tickets are   15x2 = 30 TL
 Please check weather conditions.
(In case we miss the ferry, we may need to take the bus again)

This is an amazing tour if you want to do something different. Hüseyin is very professional, he gave us a lot of information about locals and Turkish culture. He took us to many places and gave us some free time to enjoy and take pictures. We also had the chance to try some local sweets. Highly recommended.
