Things to know
About the Activity
Hi everyone. I'm Onur Erturk, an archaeologist and licensed tour guide who was born and grew up in Ankara. I guide my guests at the Ankara Castle, The Alaeddin Mosque, Anatolian Civilizations Museum, Temple of Augustus and the Hacı Bayram Mosque and the Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. I guide all around Turkey, but I mainly live in Ankara. So, I'm very informative, experienced and knowledgeable about the history, archaeology and the culture of the city. As an archaeologist I would describe the archaeology of Turkey and the artifacts in the museums in a more detailed way, therefore you will have the real idea of the ancient civilizations, their connections with the modern Turkish people and culture. And on our daily Ankara City Tour you will have a chance to taste the local and traditional cuisine as in the lunch. This tour is great for Archaeology, History and Culture enthusiasts and people who would like to learn about the history of the establishment of the Turkish Republic.6 hours to 7 hours
