Archaeologist and Turkey Tour Guide 

Welcome! My name is Ayk Alt. I hold a degree in Archaeology and Ancient History from the University of Ankara. I  have participated in numerous archaeological excavations throughout Turkey. Over the years, I have both studied and lectured extensively on the ancient history of Turkey, sharing my passion and expertise with  travelers. Each year, I lead study trips to ancient cities and Biblical sites across Turkey. My private Turkey tours are carefully designed to highlight the fascinating intersections of history, archaeology, and local culture. I have traveled tens of thousands of miles, visiting nearly every ancient site featured on our itineraries. Each trip includes unique  experiences and interactions with local people.

Turkey private tours reviews

Uncovering History with Aykut “We spent 12 days touring Western Turkey with Aykut, and it was world-class. Having an archaeologist as a guide changes everything—you aren’t just looking at old rocks; you’re watching history come back to life. Aykut is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and has a gift for storytelling that keeps you engaged from start to finish. If you want a deep, meaningful connection to Turkey’s ancient sites, book Aykut. You won’t regret it! He didn’t just give us a tour; he gave us a new perspective on history. Dr. Anish K., Singapore

“History came to life with an actual Archaeologist!” “We’ve taken private tours all over Europe, but Aykut is in a league of his own. Having a guide who is also a professional archaeologist meant we weren’t just looking at old stones in Ephesus and Troy; we were watching history be rebuilt before our eyes. He has a gift for storytelling that kept our whole group engaged for days. Truly world-class expertise.” — The Miller Family, USA
