A WARM HELLO FROM TURKIYE! Welcome to Kusadasi and İzmir, My name is Selçuk (Selchuk) I offer private tours in Ephesus, Kusadasi, Izmir, Cesme, Bodrum. Dikili, Istanbul, Cappadocia for groups or individual travellers or cruisers. I have a license from Ministry of Culture and Tourism for whole Turkey. I also have travel agency as Step By Step Anatolia Travel (Tursab number 17803). Guidance is my full time job and I have been working as a guide in freelance since 2009. I have been serving Ephesus Shore Excursions, Ephesus Private Tours, Pamukkale Private Tours, Also Multi Day tours from Kusadasi, Bodrum, Izmir, Dikili, Antalya and Selcuk town to visit Ephesus and Pamukkale for independent travelers. My country has been used by many civilizations. In Turkiye, we hav emore than 1000 ancient cities. I have been guiding in the whole country. So, in my tours I like to tell about not only Ephesus and other ancient cities , but also the culture, religion, location, products of whole country. In my tours you will have a lot of advantages: * My private tours are more reasonable priced than cruise group tours. * We can decide when and where to start your tour. * In my private tours, I can take many pictures of you and your group. * You can ask me any question about culture, religion, history, art, flora, geography... * In my tours, the schedule is more flexible. * You can save 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. Private guides are locals who speak the language and can translate (I can help you everywhere) * Saving Money - A private guide can save you money by avoiding tourist traps and taking you to destinations known only to the locals. * I use insured private minivans according to size of your groups with a private driver. (Private * I guarantee: Complete the tour and back to ship on time. ** According to your request, you can skip or add some sights to the published tour programs. Please inform me about it. Also I have many possible tour options, travelers can offer or request to me. that's why if you like to visit other places please ask me that I can create a customize tour or show you some unpublished tour which are already ready to send you. Let me introduce myself to you; Lets start with my name. I have a famous name in Turkey. Not only it is a name of an old Turkish empire during the 11th century, but also it is name of a small town of Izmir which is nearby Ephesus. So, during my Ephesus tours you can see my name everywhere :) I was born in Demirci (a small town of Manisa which is in west part of Turkey). I started my education there. 5 years primary, 4 years secondary and 3 years high school. When I was 12, my dream started. That means I started to learn English. At the high school I chose foreign language part which was all English. Actually at school we learn more grammar than speaking. So, during the summer season, when schools were off, I started to go to Marmaris which is a resort town mostly for British people. I started to get practice for speaking. By the way, when I was there I was working as a receptionist, waiter or barman in the hotels. I saw some guides who were coming there with their groups. I was interested in their jobs. I said to myself "I should go to university for having that job. " After high school I went to Ankara University in the field of Tourism Guidance.I studied history and architecture of Greek,Roman,Byzantine,Selcuk Turks and Ottoman Empire ,mythology,history of religions. I finished my education in 2009 and started to work as a guide. In the other words I achieved my goal :) Now I live in Izmir the third largest of Turkey. I am married. My wife, Seher is also a guide. I have a daughter Mila. She is our princess :) We live in Izmir. We have travel agency in Izmir. We serve private tours in yhe whole country. My main goal is to provide services that meet highest expectations of you. You can check my tours or we can create a customized tour together. I am looking forward to see you in our tours as my guests. Please take a place in my hobby. . .
