“Ephesus tour”
We were in Ephesus ( group of 6 ) April 2025 for a day. Hakan was very helpful prior to the tour and communicated promptly. He was very friendly, personable, prompt, easy to understand and professional. It was very relaxed and the transportation arrangements were excellent. Recommend him and wish him all the best Kesh Hebbar - USA

Hi, I'm a local citizen who enjoys his city, tries to explore his city everyday by walking throughout the street that hasn't been before, What I like most about my city, İzmir, is its local tastes, patterns and people both living in down town and around the city especially in villages. I'm here to be company with you, to meet new people, to learn foreign culture and to enjoy the time we spend together while experiencing İzmir with people I've never met before. We can experience sports like sailing, hiking, scuba diving, and also artistic and cultural activities like visiting art galleries, museums, ruins. I'd like to welcome you sincerely in İzmir and would like to offer you accommodation in Yenifoça where you can enjoy the sea, weather and neighborhood.

Tolga U.
Dear Traveler, I am Tolga and wish you a warm welcome to Turkey! I have been in Kusadasi whole my life. My father was one of the first guides in the whole country. He used to take me to Ephesus when ı had five years of age and would let me speak about the history of the ancient site. As time passed, I decided to follow in his footsteps and became a guide. I am a professional tour guide since 2010 and my expertise is in Roman history and Biblical history of Ephesus. I enjoy in meeting with new people and I take pride in showing the Turkish culture to my guests as they enjoy the sightseeing, history, cousine and Turkish hospitality. I am especially interested in making shore excursions for Ephesus to Cruise guests, as I know they need to create a perfect balance of time and quality. If you are looking for a personalised experience, I believe to be the right choice. I look forward to your inquiries and your arrival!
