Guide #31595

Hi, My name is Semih. I have been working as a tour guide with a great enthusiasm in Turkey since 2007. I am an active licensed professional tour guide in Turkey and willing to add personal touches to every single tour I conduct. It is always my pleasure to help travelers with their itineraries and provide them the most memorable vacation. It is also quite important to me that my guests return home with full of experiences to remember and come back!. I studied on english, archeology, mythology, religions, guidance, history, tourism marketing. . . etc at the Tourism Guidance Department of Suleyman Demirel Universiy. After I graduated from the university, I attended a language school in Malta for 6 months. It was a great experience and chance to practise the language which, I had been improving since primary school. When I came back to Turkey, I sat the English KPDS exam which is compulsory to pass to receive a guiding licence from the Ministry of Tourism. Moreover, I travelled 36 days around Turkey with archeologists and comprehensively learnt all the cities' history including with different traditions. Now, I am looking forward to welcoming my dear guests here in Istanbul, Turkey. I have the professional tour guide license since 2007 I don't drive,however I can arrange the transportation with a professional driver, when it is required.

    This tour was a highlight of our trip. Semih is so incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul/Constantinople and its historical sites. He answered every question we had and was very flexible with his itinerary. He met us early so we could beat the crowds and he was very keen to ensure that every one of our group of 12 (ranging in age from 16 years to 76...

    I have taken many tours around the world, and this was at the very top of the list. I will come back to Istanbul for several days and make sure I reserve Semih well in advance. He is very knowledgeable, articulate, friendly, and I left the tour surprised at how many things I learned about language, religion, and history beyond the routine description of monuments we...
