Hey there! I’m Halit – Your Friendly Local Guide in Switzerland! I’ve always loved meeting new people, sharing stories, and exploring beautiful places. That’s why I became a tour guide! I studied Tourist Guiding at Ege University, and after starting my career in Istanbul, I moved to Switzerland in 2016. I fell in love with the incredible landscapes, rich history, and, of course, the delicious wine (even though I’m not a wine expert!). I speak English, French, and my mother tongue Turkish, and I love making my tours fun, relaxed, and full of fascinating stories.
