I was born and grew up in Istanbul. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2007. I graduated from Istanbul University (Faculty of History). Besides cultural and historical tours I arrange gourmet tours, sportive tours, and outdoor activities like bike tours, motorbike tours.
Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the mix of old and new, the traditional and the trendy. Our Tour Guide was Mr.Cem.
It is a city of three parts. The historic Sultanahmet on one side of the Golden Horn, the fun European side of BeyoÄŸlu and its many suburbs on the other, and the Asian side divided from the rest of the city by the Bosphorus. All are fascinating and all have their own attractions. I will come back hopefully in 2022.
Estuvimos 4 dias pero me hubiera quedado un mes..menuda maravilla tanto la zona Europea como la Asiatica y que ciudad con tantos contrastes. GRACIAS CEM!
GEM of Istanbul! is an English and Spanish speaking tour guide in Istanbul. I had a one on one tour with him and he was wonderful. Knowledgeable, sweet, kind and a very nice man in general. He truly opened Istanbul up for me. Thank you privateistanbulcruise to meet me with such a perfect tour guide!
I am very happy with the professionalism and honesty of Istanbul Tours’ Mr Cem. Very prompt in communication. Good English speaking Guide. He planned our itinerary very well. Slightly overpriced but worth it for first-time tourists. Highly recommended. Covid-Free Tour in Istanbul that he took all precautions with sanitizers and masks.
