About Tour Guide Behlül A.

Hello everyone!

I’m your local guide here in Türkiye. I’m 28 years old, born and raised in this beautiful country, and I’ve dedicated myself to responsible and sustainable tourism. I’ve studied different tourism models in Finland and Greece to help make our industry better and more ethical, not exploitative.

I graduated from the Tourism Guiding Department at university and earned my professional license from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Türkiye. I've been working in the tourism industry for over 7 years, and for the past 4 years, I’ve been guiding professionally, not only in Türkiye but also in countries like Finland and the UAE.

I am based in Izmir but happy to provide tours in Istanbul, too. Contact me so I can customise an Istanbul tour for you.

Along the way, I’ve collected countless stories and experiences that I love to share. I’m also a really good listener, always happy to hear about your journey, too.

I’m passionate about nature and outdoor sports, such as hiking, snowshoeing, forest skiing, snowmobiling, and fishing are some of my favourites.

In my free time, you’ll probably find me out with my camera, wandering through art galleries, or catching up with friends.

Let’s discover Türkiye together beyond the surface, with meaning and connection.
