I have been ready to guide you privately and locally since 1998.

I have always been studying to learn and have been researching the most recent archaeological studies/excavations as much as possible in order to keep myself and my guests updated. Private guiding a tour group in Ephesus region and surroundings creates more interest once you experience.

    Ilker was a great guide, and we really enjoyed the tour with him. He made us feel at ease immediately, never rushed us, and fully adapted to our pace and interests. As a trained historian, he has a wealth of knowledge that brought Bodrum's history to life and made the experience truly stand out. The tour felt personal, flexible, and tailored to us throughout. Highly...

    Very personal tour of the highlights of Ephesus. Ilker is very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He is one of the best guides we have had in the 10 years we have been using tours by locals.
