Hi there! I am a professional, licensed tour guide authorized by the Ministry of Tourism. I have been in the tourism industry for over 25 years, and I still love it. I love meeting new people from different cultures. I enjoy giving and receiving information, as well as interacting with others. Besides being a licensed tour guide, I am also a certified interpreter. I studied English Language and Literature at university. I am married, and I have two little kids. My tours are in and around the city of Trabzon, the transportation is via brand new vans with full tourism insurance and certifications (either a Wolskvagen Caravelle or a Mercedes Vito, according to the number of seats needed. Or if the tour is only with one or two visitors, we can hire a car.) If the visitor requests only a city center tour and wants to interact with local people, then we can arrange a walking tour and public transportation. The City of Trabzon has a lot to offer. During my tours, visitors will be able to explore a rich history from early Christianity, Islam, Byzantine, Persians, Ottoman Era, modern Turkey, and different cultures. We will visit monasteries, old mosques, museums, and lively streets. My city is peaceful, far away from problems. Local people are really tourist-friendly. Last but not least, Trabzon and its neighbourhood offer really tasty dishes that tourists love to try. I have some fixed programs of my tours, but we can arrange tailor-made tours according to the visitors' needs and time. I offer and guarantee you that we together will decide about every single detail in your travel plan, and you can feel comfortable asking me anything about it. I promise you that I will always be flexible, friendly, understanding, satisfying, and informative during your tour because my goal is to give you the best possible guiding service. Hope to see you soon. 1- I have a Professional Tourist Guide License issued by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture 2- I have been certified as a Cultural Heritage Professional by the European Union-funded ALECTOR Project 3- I have attended a training course named "Developing Effective Communication" in Slovenia, funded bythe European Union I do not have any restrictions regarding my guiding; I can offer a full range of experiences.

Overview of your Trabzon tour

How about going on a daily excursion to another country while you are in Trabzon, Turkey? Batumi, Georgia is the perfect destination. Batumi is located 210 km away from Trabzon city. Along the Black Sea coastal road, we will pass through districts filled with tea cultivation gardens on our right and the Black Sea on our left, reaching the border gate. After crossing the border, we will enter the city of Batumi, where we will spend our entire day. I will show you both the new and old neighborhoods of this city, which is poised to become the new Las Vegas or Monaco of this region. Along the way, I will share plenty of information about Georgia, mythological stories, culture, history, and the relationships between the two countries. I believe that you will leave Batumi with unforgettable memories.
