Destek Yayınları A Guide's Guide Türkiye Anıları

Product description

It was the end of the 90s

instability and terrorist acts had escalated in the southeastern and eastern regions of our country, intensifying since the first Gulf invasion, and foreign groups had not visited these regions for eight or nine years.Because of these unfavorable conditions, our tours were mostly limited to Istanbul, the Aegean and Cappadocia, and we could not go further east due to security reasons.

Therefore, the ruins in the east and southeast, which we had already visited two or three times during our guiding life, could not become a routine, and important details could be forgotten after this long break.In short, as a guide, we could experience a sense of excitement and inexperience as if we were visiting for the first time.

Part of this was also due to the fact that the history of the states in the east, such as Urartu or Komagene, whose secrets had not yet been completely solved, was very different and unique compared to the Roman-Greek historical tradition in the west.

After this long break, it was necessary to study them again and remember them enough to mention the details.Moreover, the fact that tourists usually had books on the ruins, either provided by companies or purchased from the market, made it inevitable that the information we were going to impart had to be based on solid foundations.

Moreover, in these groups, there would often be tourists who knew the subject such as historians, art historians, excavation scientists, etc., and while their presence had the latent power of a kind of 'challenge' for the guide, their presence also served as a whip, and we could even receive important professional information from these experts.

If our explanations created a sense of satisfaction in those who knew the subject, they would come and express this with words of praise.The best response a guide can give in return is to ask that person in front of the group if he/she has anything to add and let him/her know that you value him/her and his/her expertise.

If he/she did indeed have something to add, it was often information beyond what a guide knew, information that was worth taking notes and that could be used in future trips.

Obviously, if there is a considerable expert in the group, this is always a valuable resource for a guide, an opportunity that should not be missed.
