Overview

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 Civilisations 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 artefacts in the museums in a more detailed way, therefore you will have the real idea of the ancient civilisations, 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.

Activity itinerary

Ankara Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The Ankara Castle is actually the birth place and the heart of the Ancient City which dates back to the 3rd Century BC and constructed by the Celtic People. The later civilisations upgraded the fortress and the Old Town was formed around it before the Turkish Republic was established in 1923.
Alaaddin Mosque (Pass by)
This is the oldest mosque of Ankara which was constructed in the 12th Century by the Seljuk Turks. Some Roman-Byzantine Columns or bricks were recycled in its construction.
Museum of Anatolian Civilizations
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
It was declared as the Best Museum of Europe in 1997 and displaces some of the unique Anatolian Archaeology Artefacts date back to the periods from the Palaeolithic and Neolithic to the Hittite, Phrygian and Urartian Civilisations. Most of the archaeologically precious items from the Hittite Civilisation, mainly from Hattusa and Alacahöyük as well as the Çatalhöyük Neolithic Settlement etc are in this wonderful museum.
Temple of Augustus
  • 20m
This traditional Roman temple was dedicated to the Roman Emperor Augustus who was the first Roman Emperor and the building is extremely important since it has the Biography of Augustus which is called Res Gestae Divi Augusti, written on its walls in Latin and Greek.
Haci Bayram Mosque (Haci Bayram Camii)
  • 40m
The Mosque is dedicated to one of the respected clerics and trade union leaders of the City of Ankara in the Ottoman Period, constructed in around 1428. His name was Hacı Bayram and his tomb is just by the mosque and the Temple of Augustus.
Anitkabir
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Known in Turkish as Anıtkabir, The Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk: Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the national hero, savior of the Turkish Nation and the founder of Modern Turkey. He was born in 1881 and died in 1938. For his honour, the Turkish Government Constructed this mausoleum as a gathering and ceremonial place, as well as a museum. That's for sure one of the main highlights of Ankara
