Hi Everyone My name is Abdullah but everyone calls me Apo or Apple. I’m from Cappadocia regione. I have studied 4 years in Ege University Tourism Faculty in Tour Guiding Department in Cesme town. I studied History of Art, Archeology, History of Religions, History of Architecture, Mythology and a bit Philosophy. I also took online courses from Yale University, Khan Academy and İstanbul Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts on Fine Arts and Byzantine History. I like reading and discovering new things. It is my way of life! I also like sharing my experiences and knowledge with travellers those who want to go in deeper and discover more! I can say that I’m good in history, Mythology and in Paintings of great Masters. I like to listen and learn other's stories as well. I belive that life consists of great stories so I like to create my own story and share it with others! My İstanbul is very beautiful, it is like an ocean; The more you dive the more you discover! İf you want to see and discover more book me as your guide and you will see. The magic will work and You will not be the same again!

Abdullah is brilliant! We had around 5 hours to explore Istanbul as part of a flight layover (myself, husband and 2 teenagers). He communicated everything beforehand and tailored the tour to the sites I’d wanted to prioritise, but also showed and told us so much more. He managed to keep a wonderful relaxed pace , and, most importantly, he was very chatty and engaging. We discussed a good range of topics as well as hearing the important political, social, religious and architectural history of different locations. All 4 of us had a brilliant time. Super, engaging, tailored tour

Abdullah is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. We are a family 4 and spent and a thoroughly engaging day with a local! Highly recommend a day with Abdullah if you are in Istanbul and new to the city.
