There is a saying in the Middle East called "hello". If you look in the dictionary; It will translate as "hello" but the real meaning of this word is "you will find friendship here, feel comfortable". Merhaba, I'm Dogan. I am 27 years old, I have a degree in both international relations and international trade, a master's degree in guidance, and I am currently an art history student. I have been a student for many years and my area of expertise is having a pleasant time with a low budget - just like students.

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

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.

Turkey Tour Reviews
Marc H.
“5 Star experience. Totally recommended.”
We booked a full day private tour of the Sultanmet with Serkan for my family of 4. He hit all of the Istanbul Big 5 as we asked, the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topika Palace with Harem add-on, and Grand Bazaar. What surprised us was his efficiency. He got us the tickets without having to join the long cues, and headed straight for the best spots in each location for pictures. My kids were super impressed with his phone camera skills, he's got some neat skills. Didn't make us waste time shopping when we weren't interested. He's one of the best guides we've had travelling around the world.

“Another Fantastic Day with Nazmiyeh”
Our second day with Nazmiyeh was just as fantastic as the first. We explored Topkapi Palace and enjoyed a beautiful Bosphorus cruise, and once again she was prompt, professional, exceptionally knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging throughout. She explained everything so well and shared many fascinating details that truly brought the history to life. Her warm and friendly nature made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I’m so glad I chose Nazmiyeh as our guide in Istanbul. She made both days memorable for our family and I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting the city.

“A Fantastic Tour We Will Never Forget”
Nazmiyeh was an absolutely wonderful tour guide and truly made our day in Istanbul special. Her knowledge and passion for the history and culture of the city were exceptional, and she explained everything in such an engaging and easy-to-understand way. What stood out the most was how patient and warm she was with my son, who had endless questions throughout the tour. She answered every single one thoughtfully and made him feel genuinely involved and excited to learn. He enjoyed every moment of the experience. Nazmiyeh also went above and beyond the planned itinerary by taking us to a pottery demonstration, which ended up being one of the highlights of the day for my son. He absolutely loved getting the chance to try pottery himself and was so excited about the whole experience. Beyond being an excellent guide, Nazmiyeh is a truly warm, kind, and lovely person. By the end of the tour, it honestly felt like we had spent the day with a friend rather than just a guide. We are so grateful for such a memorable experience and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It truly means a lot to me that you and your family enjoyed the tour. It was such a pleasure spending the day with you, and I especially loved seeing your son’s curiosity and excitement throughout the experience. His questions made the tour even more enjoyable for me as well! I’m so happy he enjoyed the pottery experience — seeing his enthusiasm there was one of the highlights of my day too. Thank you again for your warmth, kindness, and wonderful company. I’m very grateful our paths crossed in Istanbul, and I hope to welcome you back again someday. Wishing you and your family many more beautiful travels together!

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.
