About Me
I'm a licensed tour guide in English, Italian and Turkish languages since 1990, with an experience in escorting private or regular tours individually designed for tourists and business people. I was born in Istanbul in 1968 and love this city and Turkey more than any other place in the world, which is why I chose to be a tour guide in this ancient lands after living abroad for several years. I enjoy sharing my love and knowledge of this magical, lively, and unique country with a great passion.
I studied and got my degree in Tourism and Hotel Management at the University of Dokuz Eylül in Izmir. Then I went to a special course held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey and at the end passed some strict exams on art, archaeology, history, geography and law, earning my tour guide license. Apart of continuous studies and updates of the history and culture of Turkey, every year I follow professional seminars regarding the travel business and guiding. You can read my detailed Resume for more information.
I collaborate with several guides speaking other languages as well, all of them licensed by the Government like myself, who I've chosen not only based on their deep knowledge of the country, but also for their warmth and communication skills. My professional aim is based on helping a foreign guest discover Turkey as you would with a trusted Turkish friend. You may prefer private guided tours for families and small groups in order to get a better service, flexible itineraries, and tailor-made at the most comfortable pace.
All of my travel services are coordinated with licensed local Tour Operators and are based on guests' satisfaction rather than a commercial activity. My main concern is to make my guest comfortable and pass him/her all the knowledge I have on my country in order to promote Turkey and gain another "goodwill ambassador" abroad. Because this kind of service would be the one that I'd look when I travel, viewing from a "tourist" eye.
Because of many archaeological sites and the difficulty and/or difference of the Turkish language, if you're planning a visit to Turkey it would be a good idea to hire services of an official professional tour guide who speaks your language and has a very deep knowledge of his/her heritage.
Many visits can be arranged in Turkey, there are very good land and air connections between the cities and historical sites. You will find some example itineraries of major routes in the Tours page. Apart of the ones written there, so many custom made itineraries can also be arranged upon your request.
Now, please enjoy my website and discover Turkey, feel free to send me your feedback or questions. I hope to see you in this beautiful country of ours, at the Cradle of civilizations.
