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.
Just brilliant. Just do it.

We saw large groups with tour guides yelling, trying to herd the sheep that were tourists, running around finding wandering ones whilst also trying to speak loudly enough so all could

Best Tour Ever!
Friday, 20 January 2023
This was, hands down, the best tour I’ve EVER been on!! Our guide, Volkan, was kind, knowledgeable, pleasant to be with, and even adjusted elements of the tour for our group based on our unique needs. I learned things I’ve never heard anywhere else and that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Ertunga — the best!

Ertunga was simply outstanding. What a wonderful guide! Over a period of 3 days, he took my wife and I on a private tour of the seven churches of Revelation. Included was a visit to Hieropolis, the Travertines, and Colosse. His knowledge base on the various sites from a historical, archaeological and biblical perspective
