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!

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.

Turkey
Hello, I am a licenced tour guide based in Istanbul but can organize tours throughout Turkey. I have been guiding tours since 2009. I graduated from Gazi University Travel Guidance and Tourism Management Programme in 2004. I worked as a travel agent and organized tours in Turkey for American, Australian and Canadian guests before I start working as a guide. I am happier working outside of the office as I am a free spirit. I like sharing our rich history, delicious cuisine, unique architecture with travellers. Turkey is a great pot where many cultures melted in. Throughout centuries different cultures like Greeks, Armenians, Turks, Jewish lived in same land and their cultures became part of this land, their spirits still live in Turkey. That's the reason we have such a great cuisine, rich history and culture. Turkey has a lot to offer and I have a lot to share with my guests. Please welcome.

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.
