I’ve been a licensed tour guide in Turkiye since 2021, but my story started long before that. I first earned my bachelor’s degree in English as a Second Language Teaching, then followed my heart into a master’s in Tourism Management — because let’s be honest, showing off my country is my real calling. After graduating, the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism handed me my official license… and the keys to share this incredible land with the world.

Being a licensed guide here — it’s not just a name tag. You need at least one university degree, a foreign language proficiency exam under your belt, and a deep knowledge of Türkiye’s cultural treasures. In short: we know our history, we speak your language, and we make sure you feel at home.

I cut my guiding teeth with Turkish Airlines, running Touristanbul for international travelers on layovers — turning a few spare hours into lifelong memories. These days, I work as a freelance guide, leading private and group tours all over Istanbul. Whether it’s the hidden gems or the headline monuments, I don’t just show you the city… I make you fall in love with it.
