Ozkan - Private Guide in Istanbul

Languages: English, Turkish

I am a licensed tour guide in Istanbul,Turkey. I love meeting new people and guiding them in my beloved city. Making your holiday unforgettable is my priority. My specialty is the Ottoman history. But it does not mean that I do not know anything about the Byzantines. As a professional tourist guide have worked in tourism for 6 years I can satisfy your hunger for knowledge in a few hours. I landed the Earth Feb.21,1982 in a very small village in the Mid-West of Turkey in which only 6000 people live. After spending my childhood there , I went to Kars, the very North-East of Turkey where you can freeze in -45 Celcius in winters.I studied tourism and guiding there for two years and then moved to Istanbul, the city of my dreams. You know Istanbul is like Heroin, once you try, you can never give up.Now I cannot imagine myself living in my hometown and spending my days with working in a garden.I am addicted to this city. I cannot go back to my hometown or anywhere else. And I am sure you will understand what I mean as soon as you join my tours and taste Istanbul.
