Hi everyone ! This is Enes, I was born and raised in the old city of Istanbul. As someone local in this city I experienced that taste of amazement where you discover something new in this city at any moment. This made me curious more and more till I started a non-ending journey to discover more in this city. This journey even made me go to university and study as a tour guide and at the end I became an official tour guide to share my discoveries with other people and let them be a part of this amazing journey. I am also a master student in history of art hence I also offer special tours detailed for Roman and Ottoman history of the city. If you also want to taste this wonderful feeling and be a part of this non-ending journey, let's discover hidden gems of Istanbul together.
