Ephesus Private Tours from Kusadasi ( Port-Hotels ), izmir ( Airport-Hotels ), Selcuk Merhaba / Hello ! My name is Taylan. I am a professional licensed tour guide in English language. I was born in Kuşadası / Ephesus and grew up listening to various stories from Archaeologists working in Ephesus excavations and first generation local guides. Being a tour guide has always been a dream for me. After taking my 4 year Bachelor degree on tour guiding, I completed the necessary trainings, exams and got my working license from the ministry of culture and tourism. I combined history of Ephesus, Roman history, Christianity, Ancient Greek life, Mythology, World history, Architecture and many more lessons that I received in my education with the stories I heard from Archaeologists and Guides. Also I have been researching the most recent archaeological studies-excavations in order to keep myself and my guests updated. I offer different experiences to my guests rather than customary standard tours, create new tour itineraries with different concepts and customize tours all over Turkey. I believe the best way to learn about the country, its cultures and tradations is to meet the locals. More and more travellers seek to escape the confines of group tours, set itineraries and have the flexibility to take part in activities linked to their own interests. I try to understand what travellers are looking for during the tour and answer their expectations. My goal is to give you all the best and quality service to make you satisfied during your trip in my country. Share your intended tours, needs, interests and questions with me and I will customize the best tour itinerary for you. While travelling with me there no crowds, no rush, no waiting. Best regards. ************************************ Some benefits of Private Ephesus tours : * My private tours are reasonable priced, * Freedom to decide when and where to start your tour, * Personalized Tour Design - I design sights and destinations with your group in mind, * Smaller Groups - I am there for you, your friends and family. There are not dozens of people to contend with for the guide's attention. I am willing to show you around and answer all of your questions, * Security - (knowing where, how, when), * Flexibility - In private guided tours the schedule is more flexible. For a nominal fee, tours can often be extended or booked for consecutive days with the very same guide, * Saving Time - Knowing the best things to see and do can be difficult, especially with limited time. On larger tours you waste time seeing things that may not be of interest, * Communication - When visiting new countries, it is helpful to be able to communicate. I am the local person who speak the language and can translate for you, * Saving Money - A private guide can save your money by avoiding tourist traps and taking you to destinations known only to the locals, * Photography assistances - In private guided tours your guide can take many pictures of you and your group, * Insured private minivans according to size of your groups with a private driver, * I teach you local customs, religion, culture, taboos, * I Introduce you to local people, * I read the menu and ordering food, * I help at banks, food stores, fruit stands with the possible language barrier, * Health - I know how to get you to a doctor or hospital fast. ***In accordance with the laws regarding tour guiding in Turkey, the guides are not allowed to directly sell tours.
