Free walking tours in Ankara

Enjoyed time with Aise, she is very attentive, kind and friendly person. As there were no other people on the tour she agreed to to make a private tour only for me and in English ( she normally has tours in German), highly recommended and appreciated. Thanks

Wir waren sehr positiv beeindruckt von der Führung. Organisatorisch hat alles planmäßig gepasst. Darüber hinaus hat Aise uns eine Fülle von Informationen vermittelt und zwar in einer Art und Weise, die gleichermaßen unterhaltsam wie informativ war. Wir können Sie nur uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. An dieser Stelle noch mal liebe Grüße an Aise. Vielleicht sieht man sich ja noch mal wieder.

Aise hat einen prima Job gemocht! Sie konnte viele unserer Fragen beantworten und hat uns interessante Fakten vermittelt. Sie ist freundlich und intelligent. Als Bonbon hat sie uns Restaurants empfohlen, die uns sehr gut gefallen haben. Gerne immer wieder!

Ich habe an einer Stadtführung durch Ankara mit Aişe teilgenommen. Es war eine durchwegs positive und empfehlenswerte Erfahrung. Aişe teilte viele spannende Informationen zur Stadt, hatte auf jede Frage eine Antwort und konnte dabei sehr gut erklären. Dabei hat Aişe eine Wohlfühlatmosphäre geschaffen. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

Supertolle Führung und wahnsinnig herzlicher Mensch! Empfehlenswert!

Ich kann die Tour mit Aişe nur weiterempfehlen. Sie hat uns die wirklich interessante Geschichte Ankaras näher gebracht. Während der Tour kamen wir an viele schöne Ecken der Stadt die wir vermutlich alleine nie gefunden hätten.

Die Tour war wirklich sehr spannend und informativ, hat eine optimale Länge und zeigt einem die schönsten Orte von Ankara. Aişe macht die Führung mit Herzblut und beantwortet alle Frage mit großem Wissen. Vielen Dank für die großartige Führung.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne und informative Tour mit Aişe, ich kann sie uneingeschränkt empfehlen! Sie hat sich viel Zeit für uns genommen, und die Tour flexibel an unsere Verspätung angepasst.

Es war eine sehr interessante und kurzweilige Tour mit Aise. Neben vielen Informationen zur älteren und neueren Geschichten Ankaras hat sie auch viele spannende Hintergrundinformationen geliefert und hilfreiche Tipps gegeben. Eine klare Empfehlung für die Tour!

Die Tour mit Aise hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir haben einen guten Überblick der Stadt Ankara bekommen. Alle unsere Fragen konnte sie beantworten. Dadurch haben wir was über die Geschichte Ankaras lernen können und wissen wie wir unsere restliche Zeit hier gestalten mit insider Tipps einer Einheimischen.

Eine sehr inhaltsreiche Tour, die wir genossen haben. Man kann von Aişes Führung viel mitnehmen. Es war uns eine große Freude. Wir empfehlen sie herzlich weiter!

Was a truly terrific tour with Alaise in Ankara. Her in-depth knowledge of the history of Ankara combined with her ability to merge historical and cultural facts with also general information about Turkey and its people and customs made it a really fantastic 3 hours experience. Thanks Alaise for the memorable tour of your city.

Vielen Dank für die tolle Tour Aise! Es war sehr nett, die Tour nur für mich durchzuführen. Die Tour war voller Highlights, die man so allein nicht gefunden hätte. Auch die vielen Informationen über Ankara und die Türkei waren sehr interessant. Sehr weiter zu empfehlen!

Es war eine richtig schöne Stadtführung, vielen Dank!

It was Aişe’s first ever free walking tour and she did an excellent job. Language skills as well as gained information were awesome. She even changed the tour a little based on our interests. I can highly recommend her.

Hakan is a very pleasant gentleman, fluent in both English and Deutsch. We were fortunate to have a private tour with him. We recognized from our planning that Ankara has far fewer tourist attractions and sites than Istanbul which we've visited a couple of times, so we had a proper mindset and expectations. Although the major attractions like the Castle, the surrounding district, and Museum of Anatolian Civilizations were interesting and much more enjoyable with a guide, the highlight for us was the Haci Bayram Mosque. We were there mid-day on a Friday afternoon which is the most popular day and time for prayers. The antiquity of this mosque sharing a wall marked by the Galatians, Hittites and Romans was quite something to see. We wanted to stay and experience as much as we could, so we stopped for lunch at an authentic doner restaurant highly recommended by Hakan and nearest the entrance to the mosque. To be honest, we probably would have walked by this place thinking it too touristic but it was superb! We ate outside and were able to witness the energy and many people gathered for prayer. We were also able to hear the Imam and Hakan graciously interpreted some of the sermon and prayers for us. This was a highlight as we respect all religions and it's a rare opportunity to be so close to such an ancient ritual. The mosque itself was amazing and we were able to walk inside before the prayers --- even me as a woman! A kind old man gave me a scarf to cover my head as I was wearing pants and long sleeves. When we left, I tried to return it but he insisted I keep it. (Note: if you are to visit a mosque as a woman, bring a head scarf and cover your body appropriately...respectfully.) After lunch, our tour was officially over but we opted to walk rather than take a cab downtown and as it turns out, Hakan was headed in the same direction. Our tour continued! He explained the various buildings, their current function and history, we stopped at the postal stamp museum where my husband scored buying stamps. It was free and actually very interesting. While Ankara is a modern secular city, there is so much rich history in all of Turkey. Hakan surely helped us understand and learn much more. Also, Hakan being fluent in both English and German (and of course Turkish!) was able to explain to my husband in Deutsch (his first language) when he stumbled in English. We had such a lovely day with Hakan. He is knowledgeable, kind, and very accommodating. I can't recall a single question we asked that he couldn't answer. We highly recommend a tour with Hakan here in Ankara and he also conducts tours in Cappadocia so we look forward to seeing him again!

Very good person and guide

Una visita fascinante de Ankara con Ahmet. Nos hizo vivir ANKARA y su cultura a flor de piel.

Caminata muy dinámica e interesante con interesantes experiencias de la vida cotidiana de Ankara.

Musa was very friendly and gave us great recommendations!

Musa‘s tour was extremely interesting. He is very communicative and knowledgeable as a tour guide. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of visiting Ankara with my aunt recently and having Musa as our tour guide was the best decision, he knows the city and its history, very knowledgeable. Took us to visit beautiful museums and important landmarks. Musa is very friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Highly recommend musa if you are visiting Ankara.

Excelente tour para conocer Ankara. Datos muy relevantes de la historia de Ankara y Turquía.

I had the pleasure of having Musa as my tour guide in Ankara, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His English is excellent, and his deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture truly enriched the experience. Musa took my niece and me to some of the most beautiful and historically significant sites in Ankara, providing fascinating insights along the way. He also introduced us to some of the best local cuisine, making sure we experienced the city like true locals. Friendly, engaging, and passionate about his hometown, Musa made the tour both informative and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide in Ankara, Musa is an outstanding choice.

For the date we were visiting Ankara it turned out to be a private tour for our family. We enjoyed the undivided attention. Musa answered all our questions about the history of Ankara, taking us step by step through the timeline. Many puzzle pieces we were missing fell right into place. From the roman period, the ottoman period and modern time, Musa spoke passionately, painting a clear picture. We visited mosques and churches, the castle, the roman temple, the column and many other landmarks. We were given a lot of recommendations. Although it’s a 20 min. climb to the castle, the pace was adapted to our needs, making it easy for our 5yo to keep up. We would like to have a guide like Musa for all the cities we’ll visit.
