Private Tour Guide In
Istanbul
Other Guiding Areas
Cappadocia, Izmir

Hi!I was born and raised on the Black sea coast of Turkey in a city almost 240 km on the north east of Istanbul.I studied in Ege University in Izmir, one of the largest city of Turkey on the Aegean sea shores of Turkey.I have done a major in tour guiding for 4 years.After that I graduated I worked in Cappadocia for 1 year to enhance my knowledge about the Early Christian Churches and Iconoghrapy.It has been more than 10 years of guiding in Turkey.In the last 5 years I do mostly round trips in Turkey which last minimum 7 days and include the highlights of the country such as.İstanbul,Troy,Pergamon,Ephesus,Pamukkale(Hierapolis,Laodikea)Antalya,Cappadocia,Safranbolu etc.Although i love every inch of the country the city which attracted to me more than others is Kars.Locating on the Armenian border of Turkey at the very east of the country definetely amaze you and make you understand what is Turkey as a country and who are Turkish people.Eventhough  I love history, I don't like being a history guide during the tours, so i prefer to have a more comperative way of history and culture of today.I want you to understand why we call our land Anadolu(Anatolia) and its interesting people with their all kinds of religions and traditions.Please mail me for a tailor-made tour

If you are lucky enough to have Nesli as your guide, she will open up the Turkish culture and history for you in ways which few others can -- as she has done with me several times. Any guide can regurgitate facts, but Nesli adds her quick wit, charm, and refreshingly honest take on any question you have or site you visit. She's clearly passionate about history and it's contagious (I've tried to stump her a few times but can't). She has a heart of gold and is incredibly sweet (speaking of which, she knows the best Baklava places in town). Finally, she's the perfect balance of being very flexible and professionally keeping the group on schedule. I've been with her to Cappadocia, Istanbul, and Antalya and I recommend her again and again to anyone going to Turkey. Thanks Nesli!

I have had the privilege of having Nesli as a guide on two occasions, once with my wife and the second time when I returned to Istanbul a year later. Nesli is simply fantastic. She knows Istanbul intimately, surely understands its history and culture, knows of sites rarely seen on other tours, and knows wonderful restaurants. And she is fun to be with, making the tour a terrific experience in general. That I would insist on her guidance in two straight years should say something. I am returning in April, 2015, and she will again guide me through the maze of Istanbul's secrets and cool haunts.

I had a fantastic day trip in Istanbul and even though I was only there for a short time Neslihan's tour of Istanbul showed me the sights and at the same time her passion / knowledge of Istanbul put the history / story of these beautiful landmarks into context. Istanbul is a city that I will return to one day! The people / culture / history make this a must visit for any traveler. The "right" guide will help settle you into landscape and make you feel like your part of Istanbul! Thank You Neslihan!
