Contact Professional Tour Guide in Turkey

To hire me for your tour, simply call or message me on WhatsApp at +90 544 640 35 70, email me at info@toursaroundturkey.com, or use the contact form on this page. I am Hasan Gülday, a licensed Aegean-region tour guide based in Kuşadası, beside the ancient city of Ephesus, and every message you send comes straight to me — no agency, no call centre, just your guide.

Don’t be a stranger — drop me a line! If I don’t answer immediately, I might just be guiding in the middle of nowhere. I will get back to you as soon as possible. That’s a promise.

Phone and WhatsApp:  +90 544 640 35 70 — the fastest way to reach me, especially if your travel dates are close.

Social media:  you can also find me on Facebook and on Instagram, where I share news and photos from my tours.

What Should You Include in Your Message?

The more you tell me, the faster and better my reply — and the sooner we can start shaping your perfect day.

• Your travel dates, and how many people are in your group.
• If you are arriving by cruise ship: the name of your ship and its docking times at Kuşadası or İzmir.
• The places you dream of seeing, and any special interests — history, faith, food, photography.
• Where you will be staying, so I can plan our meeting point.
• Anything else that matters to you — walking comfort, children, pace. I build every tour around my guests.

Which Tours Can You Book With Me?

My home and my day-guiding areas are on the Aegean coast: Ephesus and everything around Kuşadası, İzmir with the sites of ancient Smyrna, and Pamukkale with Hierapolis. My daily guiding rate is 150 Euros per group — you can find full details of my rates, what they include, and my areas on my Guiding Rates and Guiding Areas page.

For journeys beyond the Aegean, I join guests only on longer multi-day tours as their personal guide for the whole trip — the Seven Churches of Revelation, the Footsteps of Saint Paul, Istanbul, Cappadocia, and wherever your route leads. I also love curating special-interest itineraries: early Christianity, Jewish heritage, culinary journeys, Islamic art and culture, adventure trips, medical travel support, and private gulet cruises along the coast. Choose your dream, and leave the rest to me.

Are You Arriving by Cruise Ship?

A great many of my guests contact me from a cruise itinerary. If that is you, just send me the name of your ship and the hours it will be docked at Kuşadası or İzmir, and I will guide you around your schedule — meeting you right at the port gate and bringing you back on board comfortably before sailing time.

Who Will Be Guiding You?

When you write to this website, you are writing to me personally. I hold Turkey’s nationwide professional tour guide licence, I have more than fifteen years of guiding experience, and I have welcomed well over a thousand guests to this coast. I live in Kuşadası with my wife and our two daughters, and sharing the history of my home region is not simply my work — it is my joy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Contacting Me

How quickly will you reply?

As soon as I possibly can — I answer every message myself. If I am slow, it usually means I am out guiding among the ruins, and I will write back the moment I am free.

What is the best way to reach you?

WhatsApp or phone at +90 544 640 35 70 is fastest, especially for near dates. For planning further ahead, email or the contact form works beautifully.

Do you answer messages yourself?

Yes, always. There is no agency and no assistant — the person reading your message is the same person who will be guiding you.

What should I send to get a quote?

Your dates, your group size, and what you would like to see. If you are on a cruise, add your ship’s name and port times. I will reply with my availability and a clear personal quote.

Can I book at the last minute?

Contact me and I will tell you honestly. If I am already guiding that day, I will say so — and I can often recommend a trusted licensed colleague instead.

Do you guide outside the Aegean region?

Only on longer multi-day tours, where I accompany you for the whole journey. My day guiding stays in my home region: Ephesus, İzmir, and Pamukkale.
