Local Guides in Istanbul

The capital of Turkey is Istanbul and lies exactly on the separation between Europe and Asia. The rich history of the former Constantinople makes Istanbul a popular city for tourists. But due to the size of the city and the variety of cultural sights, it is wise to prepare your visit well. Otherwise, you lose a lot of time traveling and you might not find that special restaurant or the impressive mosque.

Local guides can assist you remotely in the preparation of your visit to Istanbul. You call them with a Live Video connection and they can answer all your questions.

The rich culture of Istanbul was created by the many conquests that the city has endured. Few cities have been conquered - and destroyed - more often than Istanbul and that means that influences from many cultures are woven into the historic buildings. Turkey is an Islamic country, but due to the conquest by Christians, influences of Christianity can also be seen.
