Merhaba! means Hello in Turkish. My name is Gokhan, I am a Turkish professional Tour guide in the English language. All travelers worldwide who want to explore the unbeaten tracks of Turkey and need good recommendations for the best attractions, itineraries, timings, and more while planning their trip can quickly contact me for any assistance. I have hundreds of tour itineraries about my lovely country Turkey. Always welcome! Let me kindly introduce myself, I was born and raised in Ankara the capital city of Turkey, which is known as Ancient Angora (angora wool, angora rabbits, and angora cats are pretty examples of Angora) I have worked in almost every department of the tourism industry since 1999. I moved to Kusadasi on the coastline of the Aegean sea for my university education at ADU University. I've completed 4 years of the Travel Administration and Guiding program. I got my license as an Official Tourist Guide in 2009. My guests always remind me that I have a good sense of humor. I always try to be a hospitable person with a smiling face and be a friend rather than a tour guide. #ComeToTurkiye, come and join me! IMPORTANT NOTE; ***All of my tours are operated by A-class Travel agency "PUREADA " which is a member of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB) with Licence Number 14041 *** Following the recent amendments of laws regarding tour guides in Turkey, the guides are not allowed to sell tours directly. So, please note that the tours guaranteed here will be using an officially registered A Class Tourism & Travel Agency. All my tours are tailor-made, enjoyable, and moderate level for the comfort of my guests. All tours have luxurious vehicles with the best drivers. The agency's transportation partners hire the vehicles for your best comfort. I will already have the entrance tickets to avoid long queues at the sites. - Professional Nationwide Tourist Guide Licence (2009) - First Aid Licence (2011) - Driving Licence (2006) N/A

Overview of your Kusadasi tour

With a private tour of the nearly 2, 000-year-old Ephesus, the second largest city of the Roman Empire, you can understand how the Roman elite lived when you step inside a city and view its magnificent artifacts. Ephesus is second only to wealth and prestige to Rome. It is the Eastern Mediterranean's best-preserved classical city. This tour is the perfect choice for those who wish to have a leisurely morning to sleep in, adjust to the time change, or linger over breakfast, but don't want to miss out on the chance to discover Ephesus, Grotto of Seven Sleepers and Seljuk Town If you would like to try some Turkish cuisine, we'll snack on traditional Turkish pancakes called ''Gozleme'' made by local villagers. Watching the lady while cooking the Gozleme will be a pleasant experience! I am dynamic, creative, and passionate. I give my clients exactly what they want with flexibility and responsiveness. Professional approach to the business and high quality of services.

We would do another tour with Gokhan in a heartbeat! He is an outstanding guide going above and beyond for us. He is knowledgeable and accommodating. He is a very good ambassador for Türkiye. He is warm and welcoming. The driver was professional and the vehicle was comfortable.

Gokhan was an excellent tour guide! He was easy to understand and was knowledgeable in both the Christian and Moslem religions - a definite plus when touring the ruins in Ephesus. We got to see first hand the processes in making Turkish rugs and pottery. The van we rode in was very modern and comfortable and had a driver so Gokham could interact with us. After the tours he treated us to a delicious traditional Turkish lunch. This was an excellent tour! Thanks Gokham!

Gokhan, it was so fun! We LOVED our tour with you. Ephesus!!! OMG!! The amazing local lunch was more like an eight course dinner and so good! The rug factory was just unreal! You gave us so much information, history, and fun. We would book you all over again. Thank you!
