Hi, I'm a licensed, professional tour guide based in Istanbul, with more than 20 years of experience showing visitors the very best of Türkiye in fluent English.
From the imperial monuments of the Old City to the colorful streets of Balat and the waters of the Bosphorus, I design every tour around what you want to see — at a pace that suits you.
My goal is simple: to make sure you leave with more than photos — with real stories, genuine local connections, and a deeper understanding of this city's layered history and culture.

Eren was the best. Always showing us the real Istanbul. Special vistas, shops, and patient. We fell in love with old Istanbul and want to return to the Hagia Sophia. Highly recommended. 🙏

We saw Topkapi Palace which included the clock museum, an oversight for most guides, but not for EREN. We also toured the blue mosque. We were able to skip the line and spend more time in each facility. We also spent some time at the Hippodrome. We also toured the Hagia Eirene Monument which we asked to visit as we were passing and he graciously toured monument with us. Eren made certain that we had a most enjoyable and delightful day.
