Professional Tour Guide

Based in Istanbul, Feyza is a licensed national tour guide who approaches travel through people, everyday culture, and meaningful human connections. She believes that memorable journeys are often shaped by small encounters, local conversations, and moments that reveal the spirit of a place.

She graduated with honors from the Faculty of Tourism at Ege University, specializing in Tourism Guidance. During her studies, she spent a year at ISAG-European Business School in Portugal, an experience that broadened her international perspective and strengthened her appreciation for cultural diversity.

Alongside tourism, Feyza has a strong interest in gastronomy and regional food cultures. She enjoys introducing travelers to the flavors, traditions, and everyday rituals that define life across Türkiye, believing that food often tells stories that monuments cannot.

Her guiding style is calm, welcoming, and deeply personal. Whether wandering through Istanbul’s historic neighborhoods, discovering local markets, or sharing conversations with artisans and residents, she creates experiences that feel genuine and unhurried.

Feyza is particularly interested in experiences that support local communities and highlight regional traditions. Her travels throughout Türkiye and abroad have reinforced her belief that meaningful travel begins with curiosity, empathy, and openness toward different ways of life.

Outside guiding, she enjoys spending time in the kitchen, photography, and exploring lesser-known corners of cities and villages that preserve everyday cultural heritage.
