Hello! I'm Mahir Birecikligil.I am from the southeastern city of Gaziantep, the 6th-biggest city in Turkey, famous for its baklava and pistachios.

I have been a professional licensed tourist guide since 1995.I have worked in Marmaris for five years, and in Istanbul for 10 years.I have considerable experience guiding visitors around Turkey, especially in Istanbul.

I lived in London for five years, and studied mathematics and computing in Southwark College in Blackfriars.

To date, I have guided mostly visitors from the USA, but inevitably, being an English- and Russian-speaking tour guide, I have also hosted guests from all over the world, many of them diplomats and celebrities.
