Hello, My name is Necdet, I am a Private Guide that offers Private tours all over Istanbul and Turkey. I enjoy traveling and discovering new places. In particular, I have a special attention to the history of civilizations. So, I've traveled to many ancient cities in Turkey . I decided to study in guiding tour department. Because Turkey is one of the most historicial country in the world. We call this beautiful country, 'Cradle of Civilizations' I was graduated from the University of Balikesir in 2006 and finished my course of training in Antalya. I got my guiding licence from ministry of culture and tourism in 2008. Firstly I worked in southern coast of Turkey. Here, there are a lot of ancient cities and ruins like Side, Aspendos, Perge, Phalises. There are many natural beauties like high mountains , waterfalls , rivers and caves. I like this beautiful city Antalya. But my favorite is the historic city of Istanbul. That is why I moved to Istanbul. I have been guiding in Istanbul since 2008 it was the capital of two great civilizations. Eastern Roman(Byzantine) and Ottoman empires. You can see the deep traces of the two civilizations in istanbul city. I like to share my cultural and historicial informations with my guests. it is my favorite to discover hidden and old places and prepare some specific informations for my guests. I have guided more than thousand people. I know what people wants during their travel. so I attach importance to be on time in meeting point and make my tours more flexible than regular tours and choose the best and local foods and local bazaars. I'll be very happy to guide you in this beautiful city. ***Tour Guide License from Ministry of Culture and Tourism. ***In accordance with the recent amendments of laws regarding tour guiding in Turkey, the guides are not allowed to directly sell tours.
