Had a great quick tour with Ertug

Ertug is a knowledgeable and experienced tour guide who will provide extensive knowledge on any Ankara history related information. He is professional and on time to start the tour and is flexible as needed. Some attractions have a fee now like the Roman Baths so be prepared to have enough cash on hand as they only take cash (it was about 505.50 turkish lira for 3 people). My family and I like history so we enjoyed the history behind the baths.

The tour was good but the price did not include transportation between the sites. I had to pay extra which I think is not correct.

Mr Ertug was a wonderful guide, and this tour through Ankara was more than a pleasurable experience. He gave me all the historical facts about the places we visited, and he explained them so eloquently. I can't recommend it more; it was a fun and positive experience.

Nice overview!

We had a wonderful tour of Ankara with Ertuğ (Ankara Tour Guide). We learned so much about Atatürk during our visit to the mausoleum, and even when there was a small schedule change due to visiting dignitaries, he handled everything with flexibility and professionalism. He answered all of our questions about ancient history, recent events, and current affairs in Turkey, and we truly came away with a much deeper understanding. We also loved visiting the old town, seeing the city walls and a 16th-century mosque still in use, and he even helped us bargain at a local nut shop. Overall, an excellent experience — highly recommended!

Ozgur was an amazing guide and I got to see everything I wanted and more

My guide Ozgur was amazing. He showed me what I wanted to see and more. He spent a lot of extra time with me explaining and showing me around. It was definitely worth it.
