Hello! I am Zana, official tour guide in Istanbul. I'll tell you a little about myself: I graduated in Spanish Philology so I have a good command of Hispanic history and culture. After finishing my degree, I started studying a tour guide, which was my second profession. Why did I study all this? Because I like meeting new people, their cultures, their points of view... it's one of the things that makes me happiest in this life, in fact, I've been like this since childhood :) See you soon in Istanbul! :)
