Guide profile:
Hi, here we go, a new vision, a new face and an innovative tourist guide, Yilmaz, who has been introducing Turkey and its wonders to the travelers of the world soon after his graduation in the same field in 2002. Not only working for the international cruise lines as a local guide in istanbul but also taking private excursions for the explorers like you is a source of joy to me.
Besides istanbul tours on the basis of the Private / Group / and Walking tours, I am also specialized in archeological, historical, religious and cultural travel services in accordance with regular and/or private tours throughout the country.
To be welcomed into another culture is an incredible gift, if you are in the right place at the right time. By reaching out and connecting with communities around the world, we also learn to appreciate firsthand not only our diversity, but our commonality. Consequently, the understanding we gain can be life-changing. Therefore, I owe my success to this vision of he cultural exchange, for which I would love to bequeath a marvelous travel in your able hands with an excellence in bringing your visit to life.
Apart from the scheduled tours on my page, for custom made itineraries that can also be arranged upon your request and for other travel related questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
The talk is cheap, but the results in the depths of your heart is priceless to me. Consequently, after all, what matters to me is a simple smile, which will survive forever.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Love & Peace

Our Tour Guide was Yilmaz Ince. He was dependable, very personable, extremely knowledgeable and had a good command of English. He gave us a flexible private tour for my wife and me and made sure that we had an excellent experience.
He made us feel at ease and no question was left unanswered. We feel we gained a strong appreciation for the sights, Turkish history and modern culture and challenges. I would recommend him very highly.

Yilmaz was our guide on our last day in Istanbul. First stop was the Suleymaniye Mosque. Since renovations are complete, it was spectacular, even more so when we sat on the floor of the mosque and discussed the history. His presentation is so heartfelt and made it easy to understand the history of such a magnificent place. We visited Camlica Hill, the view is remarkable. Yilmaz finds the perfect way for you to understand Istanbul and its history, wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.
