My name is Ertunga and I was born in 1977 in Kusadasi, where I still live. I graduated from the University of Philology, Department of English Language and Litarature. Since I grew up and have lived all my life in a touristic town, guiding has always been my dream. Very early I understood that it would be the most convenient job for my lifestyle, because I like history, archeology, traveling and meeting different people and cultures, but beyond everything I love my country and would like people to see it’s beauty and understand it’s history and culture. In 2001 I became a professional tourist guide, with the license issued by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Since then I have been guiding in all areas in Turkey and meeting tourists from all over the world.
Great experience. Can’t wait to come back and see more of Turkey!

I had an 8 hour layover in Turkey and wanted an adventure. Looking at cheaper options, I saw many tours that would have required me to find my own way to Istanbul and meet someone in a public place… I wanted to be picked up at the airport, see the historic parts of Istanbul, and

Superlative visit to Capadocia
Saturday, 21 January 2023
We had a private tour with Ali Riza in Capadocia. Ali made the region’s history, art and culture come alive. I cannot praise it highly enough. Ali inquired about our interests and created a custom tour that was just perfect. Taketrips

Ertunga is the best tour guide I have experienced and his company is ideal. While setting up the trip Ertunga was always quick to communicate. He shapes personalized itineraries and sends detailed plans with everything I could want to know. His prices, for a private tour, were less than the highly rated group tours I

Seven churches Tour
Saturday, 21 January 2023
This is very targeted tour and we learned a lot about the political, regional, cultural, power, economics and dynamics of the multi-ethnic groups alongside their struggle and concerns. We had a clearer understanding for why Jesus wrote to each of the seven churches in a specific manner, through John. I did another 10-day Turkey highlights

Really amazing tour. My guide, Ozan, was extremely knowledgeable and made the day really special. The tour was customisable and everything was included as described. I would definitely book another tour when I’m in Turkey again! Taketrips

Ephesus and Mary’s House Come to Life
Saturday, 21 January 2023
Our tour with Savas was terrific. He was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He is clearly well versed in the history and lore of the region, and helped bring both Ephesus and Mary’s House to life, with anecdotes and references to historical documentation, without being overly detailed. We would definitely recommend this company. Taketrips

My family of four embarked on a private tour of Turkey, from 9 to 19 June. We very much wanted to find out as much as we could about the history and culture of the area prior to the establishment of modern Turkey. Anatolia is pretty much the cradle of human civilization so it is

We had a private one day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia by plane. It was top class and very well organized each step of the way, from picking us up at the hotel in Istanbul early in the morning and bringing us back in the evening. In one day we visited a lot of sites

We have just completed a 22 day tour from Istanbul, down the west side as far as Antalya, then to Ankara and back to Istanbul. Our guide was Necat and driver was Yelcin. We couldn't have asked for a better team. Necat is so enthusiastic and patriotic about his country, so we learned so much
