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!

I am a professional tour guide for 12 years.
Throughout my career, ı guided in Turkey, Italy, Bosna Hersek, Montenegro, Croatia, Cyprus, Rhodes, Crete.
I have studied in university Italian literature and Roman History.
