Tag: Licensed Tour Guide
In Turkey, “tour guide” is a regulated profession — every guide we work with carries a national license from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, earned through years of study in archaeology, art history, and languages. This archive collects the licensed professionals behind The Other Tour: storytellers fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, and English; archaeologists who have spent decades on dig sites; specialists in Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and the Mediterranean coast. Meet Ümit Işın, an archaeologist-guide bringing Anatolia’s ruins to life, or Kağan Özşakacı, our lead in Antalya. Walk Istanbul with the gentlemanly Tolga Bensan, the warm Esra Koçak, the sharp Deniz Karagözoğlu, or — in Spanish — Gülşah Şenol and — in French — Defne Erdoğan. Climb fairy chimneys with Tarık Alabaş or Mert, or read Bodrum’s coast with scholar-guide Dr. Selda Özhan. Browse all our tour guides, or hire one for your next trip.
