Dear Traveler, I am Tugba. I am very lucky to be living in Kusadasi. My beautiful town is one of the leading Ports for Cruises. Cruise guests are especially interested in making visits to the ancient city Ephesus. As for me, I love walking, reading books, and showing people what I find interesting and valuable in my country. This is a country whose history goes back thousands of years. There is never a shortage of seeing, visiting, and enjoying. I became a professional tour guide in 2010 and have been guiding ever since. Guiding is more than a profession for me, it is an art and a show. In time, I became an expert in making private Ephesus tours/shore excursions. I believe I can help you make your dream come true. Not only will we have an unforgettable experience in Ephesus but also we will get to know the local people, traditions, and cuisine. . Let's travel back in time and walk the streets of this ancient site together. . I will be delighted if I will have a chance to show you my country's best sides I am a professional tour guide since 2010.

Ephesus has a great place in Biblical History. Its name is mentioned in the letters of St. Paul and also in the letters of St. John the evangelist. And not by chance, the prior has made many missionary journeys including Ephesus, the latter passed the last days of his life in Ephesus together with Virgin Mary. Ephesus is also one of the seven Churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. If you want to visit Ephesus and hear also about its relevant importance to Christianity and religious history in general, I believe my tour is the correct choice for you. I am very much excited to meet you. I am very lucky to be in a family of guides. I see guiding as a passion, as an art. I would be happy if you gave me the opportunity to share my knowledge with you.
Our tour with Tugba was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge was extraordinary and her ability to convey information far exceeded our expectations! She was flexible with the timeline and format of our tour and was very willing to customize it to coordinate with our desires! Our trip to see the pottery makers and the rug weavers was a great addition to our biblical tour! We highly recommendTugba and will use her again on our next visit!!!
Our family of 5 had an amazing experience with Tugba! We got to know each other quickly, and she understood our priorities for the day and made great recommendations. She was easy to talk with, and we enjoyed learning about the history of Turkey along with her own life growing up in Turkey. Our driver was excellent, and we felt very safe at all times. Having a separate driver reduced our walking, which was welcomed on a 100° day! I highly recommend Tugba and Toursbylocals for touring the Kusadasi/Ephesus area.
Overall, Tugba made our visit to Ephesus unforgettable. From the time she picked us up, Tugba was able to guide us through all of the sites to different areas we would have missed on our own. We left not only with a greater appreciation for this ancient city but also with a deep respect for her expertise and dedication as a guide. If you’re planning a trip to Ephesus, I can’t recommend her enough!
We enjoyed our tour with Tugba. She was very knowledgeable regarding the history and provided cultural context to the sites we visited. Our tour included a relaxing lunch. Tugba was very thoughtful and accommodating of my 85 year old mother. We appreciated the umbrellas for shade that she provided and all the details she considered to maximize our comfort and enjoyment!
Tugba was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sights. She was able to adjust the tour to our requests.
