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 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.

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.

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

As an officially licensed guide for 20 years now, I do give tour services all over Turkey. I am from Mersin actually, a coastal city of the Eastern Mediterranean, and married to a Cappadocian. So I have become a Cappadocian now:)) having spent over 15 years. With guiding, I have so far opened the way to many people from all over the world. And guiding itself has ever opened the path for me to make new friends from all those different parts of our planet too. So, I love what I do. With this love, I gave huge effort to improve my skills and abilities for better services and best results. First of all, I studied tourism at Kocaeli University and secondly English Language Teaching BA program in Adana. I am now happy to be almost on the eve of my doctoral degree in Ancient History in Cappadocia, very soon.

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.

“Istanbul - 2 days”
We were a group of 6 traveling from the United States to Turkey April 2025. We were very fortunate to get Yasin K for the Istanbul part of the tour. He is a resident of istanbul for more than 30 years. Yasin was easy to communicate with prior to the trip and was very prompt in giving suggestions which made our planning easy. The 2 days with him was a history lesson. All of us in the group have traveled widely over the last 30 years and have had guides in Asia and Europe. Yasin is in the top tier and one of the best I have had. He is very well educated in multiple areas and his English was excellent. His knowledge of regional history and time lines was easy to understand. He would get into more details if asked and his answers were always to the point. He was willing to give opinions on sensitive issues and it was very balanced. We did the all the usual attractions by walk and also used local taxis to go to other neighborhoods. It was an incredible experience. I recommend him highly and wish him all the best Kesh Hebbar ( USA )

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was my pleasure and hope to see you all again in Istanbul :)

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.
