Tailor made holydays Turkey. Cultural tour guide. Ahmet. ORBAY

i've been guiding people from all around the world for more than 20 years, proudly with my professional batch on my chest.
FRANCAIS and ENGLISH are two languages that i speak as fluent as my mother language Turkish, though I may also be very helpful to ITALIANs who are not ready to communicate by other than their own language.
I had my SOCIOLOGY major in ex-ROBERT COLLEGE of Istanbul after i had my high school diploma from GALATASARAY Lycee... these two best schools of Turkey bistowed me the quality to act as a person with you rather than a Lonely Planet-GUIDEBOOK,
however, CiNEMA and TV appears as a second domain in my professional life. Acting and writing for movies provide me strong formation of good storytelling...
so as a result of above combination i am in a key position to bridge you to the art and literature life o Istanbul while we see the historical and natural beauties of this unique city: CAPITAL of CULTURE
