Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ugur

I was born in one of the most beatiful city of the world .

I am an official tour guide and i love to show the most beatiful part of my city Istanbul to my guests. I offer you the opportunity to grab unique and hidden historical information of Istanbul with seeing and experiencing the local life of the city. At the end of the day when we have a cup of tea or coffee you would understand the meaning of that quote :

" If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital." Napoleon Bonaparte

We booked two tours with Ugur for our one free day in Istanbul. We combined the two tours over the six hours we spent together. We tasted amazing foods throughout the day while we visited the back streets of Istanbul away from all the tourists. We spent time in both the Europe side as well as the Asia side. We really felt that we got to see and know the real Istanbul throughout the day. This day spent with Ugur was the highlight of our 17 day trip. I highly recommend using Ugur as your guide. He is a genuinely nice person and very knowledgeable about the history of his country. Amazing Tour of the Real Istanbul

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Food Tour mit Ugur! Er hat uns durch die kulinarische Welt Istanbuls geführt. Obwohl wir die Stadt schon gut kennen, hat er uns an rund 10 Stationen viele neue Gerichte und Geschmäcker nähergebracht. Die Tour war abwechslungsreich, lecker und von einem Bewohner Istanbuls – genau das, was wir uns erhofft hatten. Vielen Dank, Ugur!Absolute Empfehlung!

We really enjoyed our time with Ugur. He is friendly, welcoming and personable. He took us through the Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sofia. He was full of knowledge and stories that made it a complete experience. Afterwards, he walked us to his favorite local restaurants. Ugur is helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a local tour guide. Thank you!!! Ugur is the Best!

Ugur gave us a great tour of Hagia Sophia, the Cisterns, Turkish-made fine arts, the Grand Bazaar, and the Spice Bazaar. He was interesting and informative and made sure we saw as much as we wanted during our tour with him. We learned a lot of interesting information about the history and religious practice of Islam. We happily recommend Ugur.A great tour with Ugur

My family and I enjoyed a great day with Ugur. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Istanbul and its rich history. He took us to the popular sites and provided interesting stories about each location. His familiarity with the attractions also allowed us to jump various queues and spend less time waiting and standing in lines. Overall, it was a pleasure having Ugur as a guide and I think we all made a new friend!A wonderful day in Istanbul

Ugur accommodated our preferences, around food and our interests. It was great to be fast tracked to the front of the queue for the cistern and also to be taken to some of his favourite cafes, mostly visited by locals. He was generous with his time, and with sharing his historical perspectives. Unfortunately it was rainy and cold but a really good way of focusing on the sights. Flexible and well informed
