Hakan es tremendo guía turístico, muy profesional, amable, dedicado, puntual, lo recomiendo al 100%.. va más allá, nos dio muchas recomendaciones de sitios que visitar, donde comer, etc. La pasamos super bien con él.

Hakan was an exceptional guide to Anakara's highlights. He was very helpful in answering my questions and advising me on some practical aspects of my stay in the city. Thank you for your kindness!

We can feel the passion of Hakan for his job and for Turkey. He was very attentify, kind and show so much knowledge about history and culture. We had a inexpected good time. I am sure we liked Ankara more because Hakan’s tour and his company.

Hakin was the ultimate professional and so kind. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of Ankara and of Turkey. He is a great story teller for sure. After the tour, on the phone, he graciously helped me resolve a flight booking problem with the airline. A class act.

Very nice tour with Aişe today, can recommend 🙂

Incredible tour of historic Ankara with an excellent guide. Hakan is an extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind person and we felt so lucky to have him give us a tour of Ankara castle, surrounding area including a beautiful mosque and one of the best museums we have ever visited. We felt as if we met Hakan as curious travelers but left feeling we had made a new friend. He took so much time to answer our questions and share insights into Ankara and Turkey and his passion for sharing this was so evident. During our time in the Museum of Civilizations. Hakan explained the timeline of different historical periods then pointed out artifacts from each era and explained their significance. The museum building and the well preserved artifacts are a must see in Ankara. We had time to stop for Turkish coffee. Watching it being made and enjoying it was a memory we will always keep. There was so much more we experienced during this tour and I can highly recommend touring with Hakan who went well above our expectations.

Hakan is a real guru in his duty. We had information, knowledge and fun during the tour. I strongly suggest him to any kind of groups.

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

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

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.

This was an excellent tour to get an overview of Ankara! Awais was kind and respectful and I would have felt completely comfortable with him even as a solo female traveler. He provided good information about Ankara and great conversation.

Musa è stato molto disponibile e bravo nello spiegare la storia di Ankara e dei monumenti che ci ha mostrato. Simpatico e gentile! Consigliato!

Musa's tour felt like meeting your hospitable very courteous local friend. Although I booked the tour only few hours in advance & I was the only one on the tour, he didn't cancel.

Musa is a great energetic guy, knows a lot and never lets you get bored. Definitely recommend!

When I told my friends I was heading to Ankara, they asked, "Why? There's nothing to see there!" But I was pleasantly surprised by how many historical gems the city holds! Musa was a fantastic guide - insightful, funny, and fluent in English. If you ever visit Ankara, make sure to join Musa’s tour!

Musa best tour guide ever. The tour never got boring. Musa is energetic funny and very smart. Thanks Musa for great tour will book more

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.

E' stata una piacevole visita alla città di Ankara che consiglio a tutti. Awais è molto cordiale e preparato e riesce a fornirti informazioni a capire la città e le sue caratteristiche. Ve lo consiglio.

Se canceló el tour porque era la única inscripta. La alternativa era un tour privado pago que estaba por fuera de mi presupuesto. Me quedé con las ganas :(
