Discover Istanbul and Turkey with Serif Yenen Travel

I am a tour guide, writer, lecturer and advisor on Turkish travel. As a guide, I have a field experience of more than 30 years.

On my tours, in addition to doing the highlights, I like to wander off-the-beaten paths, add local experiences, go through the back streets of the city meeting local people with spontaneous detours, use public transportation and do culinary/gourmet (local delicacies) tours with street food.

I was also asked to give guiding services to VIPs like celebrities and business people, among whom are Pope Benedict XVI, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. George Friedman, Matt Lauer and Lester Holt (Today Show), etc.

I have quite a few times delivered lectures about Turkey and Turkish culture at the Smithsonian Institute, Boston University, Penn Museum, etc. If you are coming to my town (Istanbul), Turkey,. I have written many guidebooks and made films on Istanbul and Turkey including Quick Guide Istanbul, Turkish Odyssey and Istanbul Unveiled. They are available at Amazon.

I can also arrange special interest tours with specialist associates. Among these tours are Jewish Heritage, Modern Art, Traditional Arts, Photography, Music, Shopping, Tours with Children, etc.

My associates and I are looking forward to hearing from you.
