Tuğçe Uçar
From €120 / day
Tuğçe has been guiding since 2022, bringing a rich mix of culture, history, religion, and food into every tour. Her deep curiosity about Istanbul’s layered identity makes her an engaging and thoughtful companion for both first-time visitors and returning travelers.
She has a special love for telling the lesser-known stories behind iconic landmarks. Inspired by books like Beyoğlu by Turan Akıncı, she explores the city’s hidden corners with a sense of discovery. Her tours often carry the spirit of storytelling, shaped by her passion for Sufi culture and traditional Istanbul music — a world she personally connects to through playing the lute.
Whether leading a food tour in Kadıköy or tracing Roman heritage in Sultanahmet, Tuğçe offers more than just facts. She invites you to feel the city the way she does: layered, alive, and full of meaning.
