Mr. Mahir was born in southeastern city of Gaziantep, one of the biggest cities in Turkey and the city is known with baklava and pistachios.
He got his professional tourist guide license in 1995, worked in Marmaris for 5 years, a southwestern coastal town of Turkey. Then he moved to Istanbul where he still lives with his family. He has almost 3-decades of experience with thousands of guests travelling to Turkey, around the country, especially in Istanbul.
His London experience of 5-years was accompanied with the study in Southwark College in Blackfriars for mathematics and computing.
In general, he has guided the visitors from USA, Canada, UK, South Africa, and the other English speaking countries all over the world inclusive of diplomats and celebrities.
He is not only a guide accompanying to the guests in Turkey, but also a traveller in foreign countries. Thus, he has a wide understanding to understand what the travellers want.
He is generally asked for the visitors in Istanbul and the Marmara region surroundings. He generally guides the guests that stay in the top-five star hotels including Four Seasons, Ciragan Kempinski, Conrad Bosphorus, Shangri-La the Bosphorus, Swissotel the Bosphorus…
A guide should also escort large groups which Mr. Mahir is capable of professionally. He says; “My goal is for my clients to enjoy their time in Turkey, so I help them to appreciate the Turkish approach to life and to grasp details of our rich history. I like to do this in an enjoyable way. After all, visitors are supposed to be on vacation. It’s not history or architecture class! I can say I have a good sense of humour, and that helps me to make a tour enjoyable”
Mr. Mahir is looking forward to welcome Traveller’s Route guests for their unforgettable journey in Turkey. Please let us know to book him in advance since he gets many booking requests daily.
