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!

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.

“Visit to Ephesus”
Tolga was an excellent guide for our trip from Izmir to Ephesus. His knowledge of this ancient city and the surrounding area, along with his thoughtful and friendly demeanor, helped make the experience most rewarding. I highly recommend him.

“Ephesus Tour ”
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.
