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.

Overview of your Saint John New Brunswick tour

We begin by taking a look at the reversing rapids then head out for Saint Martins Sea Caves, a unique micro eco-system so much so that it is a UN-protected Biosphere reserve. Then we head out four Salmon River through the new privately run Fundy Bay Parkway. Taking a lot of photo stops may be a small hike along the trails. We get back to Saint Jhon through the motorway joining at Sussex. Time permitting we visit reversing rapid observation point once again to observe the change of direction or speed in the river!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the St. John's and Saint Martin's area of New Brunswick. Our tour guide (Kenan) was exceptional. His thorough knowledge of the history of the area was very impressive. He took time to explain everything to us and make sure we were able to see the sites we were looking to see and to get the photographs we wanted to get. We would highly recommend Kenan to anyone planning to visit this area of Canada. Thanks again, Keenan from the Swearingen's and Wilks.

Kenan is an excellent tour guide. He really knows the region we were touring and provided us with explanations of the region's history and brought us to the points of interest we wanted to see and to some we weren't aware of. We had a wonderful time with him and would recommend him to anyone traveling to St. John's New Brunswick Canada.

Kenan was flexible with changes necessary due to time changes with our cruise ship. He was fun, knowledgeable about the area and made the most of our 3 hours on shore. It was a fun afternoon.
