Expert-Led Private Turkey Tours 

Meet Your Archaeologist Guide 

Private Turkey tours by Aykut Alt are designed for travelers who want to skip the textbook recitations and generic travel itineraries. As a licensed professional guide and a local archaeologist here in Turkey, my personal mission is to bring history to life just for you. Together, we’ll move beyond the surface of ancient ruins to explore the why and how behind the great civilizations that shaped our world. Whether you want to beat the crowds or spend an extra hour uncovering a hidden mosaic, we’ll explore at your absolute own pace. Let’s make your journey through Turkey truly unforgettable.

The Story Behind Your Journey

For Aykut, archaeology isn’t just a profession—it’s a lifelong passion for uncovering stories hidden in the dust of time. After years of academic study and hands-on excavation fieldwork across Turkey’s most iconic ancient sites, he realized that true history shouldn’t be trapped in textbooks. That’s why he founded Go Private Turkey Tour. When you travel with Aykut, you aren’t just a tourist; you are a fellow explorer. He loves nothing more than sharing a fresh perspective on ancient worlds, guiding you past the tourist traps, and introducing you to the authentic, living culture of his homeland.

Turkey private tours reviews

*We spent 12 days touring western Turkey with Aykut and it was a wonderful experience. Aykut is extremely well informed and professional. He put together a special itinerary that includes all of the best sites and museums in Turkey. As we had asked, we stayed in family-run hotels in central locations and enjoyed the best of Turkish food. He didn’t just offer us a tour; he gave us a new way of looking at history.

The tour was well-organized, with a perfect balance of guided exploration and free time to wander. I highly recommend a tour with archaeologist Aykut to anyone interested in history and culture.
