Hi there! My name is Atilla, and I am a proud local host in Istanbul. This city holds a special place in my heart, full of life, history, and so much more. I absolutely love taking walks through the old districts and discovering new things about the city every time I explore it. Food tours are a personal favorite of mine, and I love introducing visitors to Istanbul's traditional dishes. Whether you're a foodie or just looking to try something new, I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed. I have a unique perspective on Istanbul as I have explored both sides of the city – the historical peninsula and the local neighborhoods. This has allowed me to understand the city's history and culture deeply, and I am always eager to share my knowledge with others. I am an expert in the local neighborhoods, historical sites, and traditional food places, and I always strive to make my tours informative and fun. So if you're looking for a local host who truly loves Istanbul and is passionate about sharing its beauty and history with others, look no further! I promise to make your adventure in this incredible city one to remember.
