Hi, My name is Didem. I was born in 1977 in Istanbul and I am a licensed tour guide working in Istanbul where my family has lived for more than a century. Before studying tour guiding I studied economics and worked in banking and finance for many years. As I was so much amazed with the rich history of my hometown I decided to study guiding and turn my passion to my profession. Today I am so happy that I have been able to share my knowledge, passion and love for Istanbul with the thousands of guests I have guided so far. I do hope that our paths will cross with you and It will be my pleasure to guide you in our beautiful Istanbul.

Dear Traveler, I am Tugba. I am very lucky to be living in Kusadasi. My beautiful town is one of the leading Ports for Cruises. Cruise guests are especially interested in making visits to the ancient city Ephesus. As for me, I love walking, reading books, and showing people what I find interesting and valuable in my country. This is a country whose history goes back thousands of years. There is never a shortage of seeing, visiting, and enjoying. I became a professional tour guide in 2010 and have been guiding ever since. Guiding is more than a profession for me, it is an art and a show. In time, I became an expert in making private Ephesus tours/shore excursions. I believe I can help you make your dream come true. Not only will we have an unforgettable experience in Ephesus but also we will get to know the local people, traditions, and cuisine. . Let's travel back in time and walk the streets of this ancient site together. . I will be delighted if I will have a chance to show you my country's best sides.

Hello everyone! I’m your local guide here in Türkiye. I’m 28 years old, born and raised in this beautiful country, and I’ve dedicated myself to responsible and sustainable tourism. I’ve studied different tourism models in Finland and Greece to help make our industry better and more ethical, not exploitative. I graduated from the Tourism Guiding Department at university and earned my professional license from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Türkiye. I've been working in the tourism industry for over 7 years, and for the past 4 years, I’ve been guiding professionally, not only in Türkiye but also in countries like Finland and the UAE. I am based in Izmir but happy to provide tours in Istanbul, too. Contact me so I can customise an Istanbul tour for you. Along the way, I’ve collected countless stories and experiences that I love to share. I’m also a really good listener, always happy to hear about your journey, too. I’m passionate about nature and outdoor sports, such as hiking, snowshoeing, forest skiing, snowmobiling, and fishing are some of my favourites. In my free time, you’ll probably find me out with my camera, wandering through art galleries, or catching up with friends. Let’s discover Türkiye together beyond the surface, with meaning and connection.

Welcome to Türkiye! Your passionate local guide (originally from Istanbul!) is here! It is my pleasure to customize my tours for your unique experiences according to your requests. After getting my bachelor's degree in econometrics as a valedictorian and working in finance and foreign trade sectors in Türkiye for several years, I went to the USA. When I had studied my master's in economics at George Washington University (GWU), I was offered two prestigious postgraduate scholarships by The University of Nottingham (UoN) and so, I moved to the UK. After getting my PGCert in economics from The UoN, I moved back to Istanbul and started my master's in econometrics in order to pursue a PhD. However, at the same time, I took my first steps towards my professional carreer in tourism. During my life in Washington DC, for about 4 years, I had experienced not only being a volunteer translator for Turkish delegations and international students hosted by non-profit organizations sponsored by the US government, but also being a volunteer guide of them for cultural tours including the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum complex. Therefore, after moving back to Istanbul, I desired presenting Istanbul - my lovely hometown! - and Türkiye to tourists in the right way and completed the tourist guidance program at Cappadocia University as a full scholarship scholar. I also hold an associate of arts degree in cultural heritage and tourism and have been studying art history at Istanbul Medeniyet University. I have been qualified by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Republic of Türkiye, as an expert professional guide in Istanbul / Cappadocia / Ephesus, Kusadasi and on the Eastern Roman Empire / Gobekli Tepe and Upper Mesopotamia / the Seven Churches of Revelation. Looking forward to meeting you on your next trip to Türkiye. Thank you for your time and interest. All the best, Muzaffer

“Extremely educational, amazing and engaging”
I clicked with Berkay right away , he is very talented and a reservoir of history, geography and linguistic knowledge. His passion for Turkish archery and traditional arts is definitely contagious and we were truly moved by it. The session of rich history and tour of the archery range, was accompanied by shooting arrows from the prized traditional bows. His patience and encouragement and empathetical understanding made us feel very comfortable and enthusiastic about a topic we had no idea about. Keep up the great work Berkay!

“It was a lot more than I expected. I had so much fun.”
Berkay was super nice and professional. He took me to the Archers Lodge, which is a very exclusive and antient ottoman training area, and showed me the museum and the laboratories for the construction of bows. I had a chance to see people practicing, and even had the oportunity to practice myself in an amazing VIP shoting area. I will surely return to Turkey just to keep on practicing traditional ottoman archery. Thank you, Berkay.

Thank you Diego for your nice review. It was great to have you and hope to see you again so we can practice more :)

Local Tour Guides in Turkey
Discover the charm, adventure and excitement Turkey has to offer with personalized private tours led by an expert local guide. See Turkey’s magic on your time.
A private tour guide helps you navigate language barriers and local customs, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable trip. In regions like the Aegean coast or rural areas where English might not be widely spoken, a local guide can facilitate communication and help you interact with locals, enriching your travel experience. For example, visiting traditional villages in Anatolia with a guide can provide insights into Turkish hospitality and daily life that you might miss on your own.
Safety and convenience are also major benefits of hiring a private guide. Traveling with a local expert means you have someone who knows the area well and can steer you away from potential hazards or tourist traps. Whether you're exploring the bustling streets of Istanbul or hiking remote areas, having a guide ensures you stay safe and enjoy a worry-free adventure. Additionally, guides can assist with logistics, such as transportation and ticket bookings, saving you time and effort.
