Edip Arslan

I have been guiding in Turkey since 1997. There are 81 cities in Turkey and I have guided many times in 78 of them. I love our country's rich history but it's my passion to help my guests have an amazing time while touring as well as comprehend the details of our remarkable history.

Gamze Artaman

I am a native of Istanbul and have been a professional licensed tourist guide since 1990. I have considerable experience of guiding visitors around Turkey and especially in Istanbul.

To date, I have mostly guided visitors from the USA but inevitably, being an English-speaking tour guide, I have hosted guests from all over the world whose shared langauge with me is English. As a result, I believe  I have a proper appreciation of what visitors want.

Yeşim Çetin Sözüdoğru

My name is Yeşim Çetin Sözüdoğru but you can call me Jade. I am a native of Istanbul and a professional state-licensed guide since 1990. I am passionate about my work and I enjoy representing my beautiful country in the best way I can. In my tours, I like to give details of the rich history of Türkiye and try to help facilitate connections and conclusions of historical facts. With true stories of the people that lived here in the past, I try to make my tours as enjoyable as possible. I specialize in Byzantine and Ottoman history.  The works of chief architect "Sinan" are one of my special interests.

Meltem Dadaylı

I was born in Istanbul in 1974, for which I consider myself to be very lucky. I love this city and this country! One of my favorite things about being a tour guide is showing my guests around my city and offering a unique perspective as a lifelong citizen. I graduated from Beyoğlu English High School for girls and got my undergraduate degree from the Spanish Language and Literature faculty.
