I am a Tour Guide
Hey, I’m Emir! I absolutely love the sweet chaos of Istanbul – a city that’s alive with energy and rich history. From the mesmerizing Bosphorus to the hustle of the local markets, there’s always something exciting happening here. I’ve spent years uncovering the best-hidden spots, from charming rooftop cafés with breathtaking views to local shisha lounges where I hang out with friends. One of my favorite things to do is take visitors on a journey through Istanbul’s past, exploring the Grand Bazaar and the Historical Peninsula. I’m a bit of a history nerd with a deep knowledge of the Ottoman and Eastern Roman eras, so if you're into discovering the city’s fascinating past, you’re in for a treat. But Istanbul’s also about modern life – the shopping, the hidden gems – and I know all the best spots for both. Let’s dive into the vibrant life of Istanbul together, and I’ll show you why this city has captured my heart!
The trip was excellent Emir provided just what we asked for. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would definitely recommend the trip and Emir as a guide.
