The provider speaks: English
I was born in 1983 and raised in Istanbul, the cradle of civilization that served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires for 16 centuries, continues to be the all-time center of attraction with its unique history. Istanbul is one of the first cities in the world that come to mind thinking of a both “historic and touristic city”. I have been creating memorable programs for the last 20 years and specialised on; Special Interest Tours, Small Group Escorted Tours, Religious Tours, Sail&Bike Tours and Cultural Experience Programmes in Turkey.
