Employment HistoryApril 2008 – Present: Tour Guide – Istanbul
ResponsibilitiesA tour guide is someone who shows visitors around an area, with the guide using extensive local knowledge to share the area with visitors. Tour guides are hired to help people navigate unfamiliar areas, and to make trips special, as a good tour guide sets a positive tone for a trip and shows people things they would not have discovered . Tour guides might lead visitors on tours of local religious sites, castles, gardens, or other sites of interest, tailoring the tour for the visitors. Locally-based tour guides are also often able to open doors which would otherwise be closed, and their local knowledge can be helpful for people who are unfamiliar with the culture and traditions of an area.
