About Me
Hello! My name is Mesut Dereli, a licensed tour guide based in Istanbul, and frequently working in Tokyo and other parts of Japan. I specialize in creating meaningful cultural experiences, guiding travelers through history, architecture, philosophy, and daily life — both in the heart of Istanbul and the vibrant cityscape of Tokyo.
I offer custom tours in English, Spanish, and Turkish, focusing on authentic experiences, not just sightseeing. Whether you’re walking through the Grand Bazaar or exploring the quiet temples of Asakusa, I’ll bring a storyteller’s spirit and a local’s insight to your journey.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” — Marcel Prous
