Your guide

Hüseyin Kaya

Istanbul, Turkey

With over 20 years of experience guiding English-speaking travelers from Europe, the US, Asia, and Australia across Turkey, I bring history and everyday life …

Tell me what you want to see, taste, or skip: history, food, neighborhoods, or a mix.

Highlights

  • Looking for a private guide who builds the day around you rather than a fixed itinerary? This is a fully customized half-day private guiding experience.
The itinerary is flexible and can be adjusted on the spot if needed. As a licensed private guide, I provide clear explanations, local insights, practical tips and a comfortable, personal atmosphere. No rushed group tours, no fixed scripts, just a day (or days) built around your requests. Travelers who prefer private guiding, want to avoid large groups, have specific interests, limited time, or want a day that feels personal and well-organized. Ready to design your perfect day in Istanbul? Send me your dates and ideas. I’ll create a program just for you.
