Hi there! Nice to meet you
Hello everyone and welcome to my profile 😊
I was born in Istanbul and spent most of my life here in this beautiful city. I'm a professional industrial designer, a culinary arts graduate and a self-taught musician who enjoys listening to 60s rock and alternative music. These days, I'm obsessed with home-cooking and discovering Istanbul's thriving food & art scene. Being an urbanite at heart, I like exploring every nook and cranny of the city I live in. I'd be more than happy to connect with curious travelers and share unique stories and hidden details about my city.
Hope to see you soon 🙋🏻♂️

Alp was clear, concise and timely with communications. He allowed our group of two to ask many questions and make requests.
We toured during February’s 1st snow and Alp graciously continued to guide us stopping a few extra times for hot beverages and warmth.
He was quite knowledgeable about Turkey’s broad history, current events, Europe & Asian sides as well as extensive details on the who:what:why:when of the STREET ART.
The community jewels (restaurants, stores, architecture, etc.) were welcome additions to our journey.
We enjoyed this modern glimpse into the heartbeat of Turkey. Art, life, language & eats: perfection!

We were looking for a reason to explore the Asian side of Istanbul, and found this tour. We're so glad we did it! We had a wonderful afternoon with Alp - his tour is more than just street art, we went to a couple of local cafes, learned about culture and history, and even got some great shopping tips. Alp is a friendly, knowledgeable guy, and adjusted the pace where we wanted to stay a bit longer & take photos, or move on to the next things. I can't recommend this tour highly enough!!Don't miss doing this in Istanbul!

We highly recommend Alp as a guide !
We spent a full afternoon with him walking around the Kadikoy area discovering Street Art. The annual Street Art Festival in Kadikoy turns the place into a real museum. Just follow Alp from one wall to another, listen to the story and background of each work and feel the atmosphere of the place.
The stop at the café was welcome to enjoy a warm Salep and get Alp's tips to discover Istanbul in a different way.
What an excellent afternoon!

Alp è una ottima guida!!! È un ragazzo simpatico e molto informato sulla sua città, in particolare abbiamo fatto il tour della street art, un quartiere molto interessante, reso ancora più interessante grazie alle curiosità raccontate da Alp. Davvero consigliato!Super consigliato!!!

My daughter and I really enjoyed this street art tour! First, you get to see a really wonderful neighborhood in Istanbul and a different slice of life that is less touristy. Second, there are some great street murals and history behind them. Third, Alp is super personable and an excellent guide. He even made a detour to take us to two comic book stores because of my daughter's interest. Highly recommend!Fabulous tour and experience

Thoroughly enjoyed this "alternative" tour of Asian side of Istanbul neighborhoods. So nice to get out of the busy tourist areas. Alf has a great understanding of the local art and food and made this a very enjoyable and informative afternoon. Customized for our interests. A good choice! Great exploration of non-touristy Istanbul

Alp gave us a great insight to Istanbul Asia and the street art that decorates the area. A different and interesting tour, with plenty of up and down hill walking! Would definitely recommend along with the ferry crossing.Great Street Tour

What can I say. What an awesome guy. Alp walked us through an amazing neighbourhood with a personally designed street art tour. It was so much more. The whole area is a coffee culture melting pot. Small shops and lots of locals. I highly recommend this tour. And stop off at a couple of coffee shops along the way!Outstanding tour with Alp!
