Hello I have been a traveler, a guide, and a travel designer since my student days in Ankara where I studied political science which, gave me a chance to travel to as many as 70 countries, mostly in the old world and South America. I conducted tours to destinations like India, China, South Africa, Chile, etc. I am a reader of the ancient and colonial history of the globe as well as anthropology and philosophy. I find myself lucky since having been born and raised in one of the most ancient countries of the world (Turkey); Then, having lived and guided in Vancouver, arguably, at one time, one of the remotest cities on earth until the railway arrived in 1887, now a leading exemplar metropolis of the 21 century; Finally, I have been enjoying a post-urban life, in serenity, in all-tranquil New Brunswick, where I consider Canada is in its utmost! In a sense, this is a closing of a circle for me. As a child, I was a physician's son in a village around which there was still a nomadic lifestyle that was yielding to peasantry rapidly. Later in the Metropolises of Turkey and Europe, I witnessed how the peasant lifestyle was being overtaken by urban life. As a middle-aged person, I observed what I call a "near atomized individual" in one of the major post-industrial magnets on the planet. Therefore, I have been enjoying the chance of gazing at various "human landscapes" or snapshots from different cross-sections of the greater social transformation of mankind. To me, Atlantic Canada is a perfect scene for an up-and-coming post epidemic cottage lifestyle for emergent new middle classes. Beautiful but not so busy, Great a place to grow up, great to retire, and great to take breaks from the ever-intensifying treadmill of the major cities. Let's explore together this unique, historic ocean country. All my tours can be customized upon request. - M.A. Degree in Ancient Politics - Bachelor's Degree in Political Science - Professional tour guide since 1991 - Experienced guide for Mediterranean and West Coast & The Rockies in Canada as well as the East Coast. - Memberships in Canadian Tour Guides Association and Chamber of Tour Guides in İstanbul.

Fundy bay is known to host the highest tides in the whole world. The area was a premium attraction in the early 20th century for the sections of the society who could afford to travel. That nature has such an Immense physical power to change the landscape like this is truly unbelievable. Hopewell rocks and Fundy bay National Park together are a great combination that offers some great scenery and possible hiking opportunities over the bay. A superb but casual Atlantic seafood can be arranged at fishing hamlet Alma.
Very interesting tour. Leaned a lot about St John the city and New Brunswick the province The trip to Bay of Fundy was really good ass well
Kenan and I had a great day. It was shorter than I would have liked because of the cruise ship schedule. As with many of the tours by locals guides, Kenan proved to be a wealth of information on politics and cultures in many countries. (The education levels of many of the guides has been truly amazing and Kenan is one of them). He fine tuned the tour to meet my interests in nature and was constantly pointing out interesting details that I would not have noticed on my own.
We were looking for something different then our cruise ship’s excursions and Kenan tailored our tour based on our expressed interests and offered us multiple itineraries to choose from. We opted for the more nature-focused route over the urban-focused, but either would have been equally enjoyable with Kenan as our guide. He was personable, professional, and brought a lifetime of world travel experience to the table. His depth of knowledge was impressive, not only regarding the significance of the sites we visited, but also regarding local history, culture, geography, and geology. He had ample time to explore some beautiful and powerful wonders of nature. After a meal at a roadside seafood place, our tour culminated atop Fort Howe where we were treated with a beautiful sunset view of the city and the harbor. We would highly recommend Kenan.
Kenan's tour was perfect! I can't imagine anything that would have made it better. He knows his topic, is well-organized, tailored the tour to our requests, was on time for the pickup and got us back to the cruise ship on time as well. We saw everythiing we wanted to see, learned a lot from him, and had every quetion we asked answered carefully and insightfully. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat.
Outstanding guide of New Brunswick and Hopewell Rocks. Perfect day.
Kenan was great. There is no way we would have navigated Hopewell Rocks at low and high tide without him, and it was spectacular. The restaurant he took us to for lunch was excellent, Fundy Bay National Park was terrific as well. As a bonus, he gave us great recommendations for other places to see and eat during the rest of our stay in the area. We had a wonderful time.
The itinerary is flexible and completely customizable. Depending on the starting point the sequence can be changed. If starting from Moncton, Hopewell Rocks can be visited twice to observe the spectacular change in scenery due to the tide. Suggested Itinerary: - Reversing Rapids if starting from Saint John. -Hopwell Rocks Provincial park. - Fundry bay National Park -Alma fishing village
