Yasin K.
Turkey
Merhaba (Hello) from a friendly Istanbulite! My name is Yasin, a licenced tour guide who is in love with his city. Istanbul is more than a regular city. It has been a melting pot of different empires, religions, languages and cultures for centuries! I've been living in this amazing city for 36 years and have about 8 years of experience as a guide. My purpose is not only to show you some historical buildings but also give you a chance to learn more about our unique history, culture-traditions, cuisine, daily life etc. I am very interested in both Roman/Eastern Roman (Byzantine) and Ottoman heritage of Istanbul, so I can offer you very specific tours that you'll always remember. I have basic information on the old/medieval Greek and can read the Ottoman Turkish. I can also understand caligraphic inscriptions easily. I believe that if you really want to feel the soul of historical buildings, you should know what those inscriptions explain to us. That's why I spent so much time to improve myself in this field. I also love photography and trying different types of healthy and traditional food. Fortunately, Istanbul gives us a great chance for them. I'll be so happy to help you with them, too! Feel free to contact me for either a full-day or a half-day tour. I can provide you a complete program or customizable itinerary. Let's explore this amazing city and unique culture together!

Merhaba(Turkish) First of all, welcome to my profile. I don't want to keep it too long and bore you, as I believe my life story will be much more interesting the day we embark on a tour together :) I was born in Kuwait and lived there for many years. After completing my education at an Indian school, my family and I permanently moved to Türkiye in 2003. After completing high school and university in Turkiye, I began my career as a Police Officer. While working as a Tourism Police officer, I discovered my passion for traveling. In 2018, I took the initiative to resign and ventured into the path of becoming a Tourist Guide. I have traveled to more than 15 countries and still love exploring. I believe traveling is the best investment one can make in themselves. I am fluent in English and Arabic. I believe that living abroad and studying in a foreign school are crucial factors for communication with people of different languages, religions, and races. Looking forward to meeting you on tours soon. Best wishes, Sedat

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!

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.

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

“Istanbul in the rain”
Despite the weather, we had a wonderful experience with Sedat. His knowledge of the city and its history is exceptional. His outgoing and friendly nature made us feel welcomed, comfortable and safe. His “connections” at the various attractions managed to get us out of the rain quicker than expected. Would recommend Sedat to anyone
Sedat C.
Thank you very much Chris. Despite the rainy weather, the warmth of you both warmed my heart. You completed Turkey’s most challenging tour despite the harsh weather conditions, and that is truly commendable. You are both true adventurers.

I highly recommend taking a tour of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary with Hakan as your guide. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling bring the history and significance of these sites to life. With Hakan, you’ll gain a richer understanding of the area’s cultural and historical importance.

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.
