About Ayla

I take the cable car up to Pierre Loti Hill most weeks, and the view over the Golden Horn still changes depending on the light in a way I never get tired of filming. I trained as a guide around Eyüp, since the mosque and the hill above it are usually treated as one quick stop rather than given the time they deserve. On camera I like keeping the cable car ride itself in the session rather than cutting straight to the viewpoint, since the climb is part of what makes the view land. I answer questions about the shipyards below as we go.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
