Cost of a Private Guide in Turkey

1/3/2021

Comments

 
Daily rates for tour guides is announced today, the rates will be applicable during 2021.
You can check the official government website links
Here's the list for tour guides daily rates in Turkey from 2013 to 2021.
 https://aregem.ktb.gov.tr/TR-51213/rehber-ucretleri.html 

And here is the link for 2021 
​https://aregem.ktb.gov.tr/TR-279609/2021-yili-rehber-ucretleri.html

The Links belong to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, General Directorate of Research and Education of Turkish Republic.
private-tour-guide-in-turkey
Picture
Every year the rates for tour guides are being updated. The rates are in Turkish Lira, depending on the inflation ratios the rates are being updated. 

When you calculate the rates for hiring a tour guide in Turkey with the Exchange rates in US Dollars and Euros, it generally comes to 90 US Dollars or 85 Euros each year.

To see how much a private tour guide costs in Turkey we check the rates published by the official authorities. The prices for tour guides in Turkey are arranged by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

To see how much a private tour guide cost in Turkey you need to check the several variables, one is the location. If the private tour guide service in Turkey is going to be given in a big city or a small city. This division of big city or a small city is made by the municipality services. ​
tour-map-of-turkey
There are .... Big Cities in Turkey and There are ..... Small Cities in Turkey.
For instance if you need a private tour guide in Istanbul, that's definitely a big city as Istanbul is the biggest city in Turkey.
ephesus-private-tour-guide
If you need a private guide for Ephesus for instance, the private guides for Ephesus are registered in Professional Tour Guides chambers in Izmir City or Aydin City. Both Izmir and Aydin are considered as big cities. So you will be charged with the big city tariff if you need a private tour guide for Ephesus. ​
​
If you need a private guide in Cappadocia, Cappadocia Tour Guides are residing in the city of Nevsehir which is not a big city so you will be quoted according to small city tariffs.

Does Language make a difference in private tour guide costs in Turkey?
Guide's language does not affect the price of a tour guide service in Turkey officially however, please remember that the published guiding rates in Turkey are the minimum rates so guides may charge more than what they are suggested depending on the rarity of the language they are guiding in.
diverse-tour-group
This mostly depend on their regions for example one of the rare guiding languages in Turkey is Mandarin Chines, however some regions such as Ephesus and Bodrum has the least maybe no Chinese speaking guides so in those particular locations rates of Chinese speaking tour guides will be higher than the minimum advised rates of the State.

How are the different rates on the price table for guides arranged?
The different rates on the price table for private guides in Turkey
First rate is the Day Tour Rate, for 2021 the price is 640Turkish Lira which is equal to 85US Dollars with the USD/TRY exchange rate in the beggining of the year 2021.
tour-guide-daily-rate
This rate was 479Turkish Lira in 2019 which was around 90US Dollars with the exchange rate of the time.
And in 2020 the rate was 587 Turkish Lira, it was a %20 percent raise from 2019 to 2020.
And the raise from 2020 to 2021 is not even %10.

airport-greeting
​The second rate is the Transfer rate, which should be applied if the tour guide welcomes the tourists from the Airport, offers a Greeting services at the Airport then conducts the transfer from the Airport to the traveler's hotels.
Same applies for the return transfers when the tourists leaving the country.
​However this rates is hardly applied and tour guides in Turkey never get paid for such service they provide. And the rates should be paid to the tour guides for offering a guiding service at Airport Transfer is 321Turkish Lira for 2021 which is equal to 43US dollars.

night-tours-evening
The 3rd rate on the list for Tour Guides Rates in Turkey for 2021 is the Evening/Night Tour. The rate is same with the transfer rate which is 321 Turkish Lira equeals to 43US Dollars for 2021. however we do not exactly know what a night tour is, what time does it start and what time it ends. I hardly know any tour guide in Turkey that he/she is paid for a night tour.

The 4th rate on the list is Package Tour Daily Rate which is 772Turkish Lira 104US dollars for 2021. 
This is another unexplained service that the law is rather vague about what it includes. Especially what is the daily duration of guiding. What time can it start and what time can it end.
package-tours
We know that this rate covers most of the multi-day tours around Turkey mostly 10 days to 2 weeks long tours. The rate is the daily rate no matter how long the tour lasts. 
Some days can be pretty long up to 12 maybe 14 hours of durations. Some days may include evening / night activities and early morning before sunrise activities such as Balloon Rides etc. The package tour rate does not state any additional service.

employed-tour-guides
The 5th and the last rate on the price list of tour guides in 2021 is Monthly salary rates. And that is 6400Turkish Lira which is equal to 860US Dollars in 2021. So if you want to employ a professional tour guide in Turkey for a month, you need to pay him/her 860US Dollars. 
This rate is calculated with the minimum daily wage multiplied with 18 days.
As if the tour guide worked 18 full days for the employer. This is valid only for tour companies and travel agencies that hire tour guides as their personnel minimum for a season of 4 months up to a Year. So if anyone plans to hire a guide for just one month can't get away with this bargain.

insurance-for-tour-guides
We need to remember that the rates mentioned on the list are NET Rates that should be paid to the tour guides.
none of the rates mention on the list include TAX, V.A.T, Social Security, Accommodation (If necessary), Extra Transportation (If necessary), Food (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) if necessary on the tours.

So employers or tourists should expect to pay the %15 Income Stopage Tax, %18 V.A.T., Daily Social Security around 40Turkish Lira

Michael Douglas at Ephesus

michael douglas at ephesus turkeyMichael Douglas at Ephesus with Cengiz İçten
On January 7, 2020 Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas visited Ephesus with his daughter and son. 
​
His wife Catherine Zeta Jones and his family were in Istanbul Turkey couple of days and after his wife left for US, Michael Douglas came to Izmir Selcuk Airport with a private jet and had a private tour of Ancient City of Ephesus.
​It is stated that Michael Douglas specifically wanted to see the Terrace Houses, and in there he was accompanied by former director of Ephesus Museum, Archaeologist Cengiz İçten. 

ephesus welcomes celebritiesMichael Douglas with Our Fellow guide Friend Ahu
Anyways we first saw a picture of Michael Douglas and a friend of ours at Ephesus, who is also a private tour guide for Ephesus, and we thought maybe she was the lucky one to take him on a tour. 
But later we found out it was a coincidence that she saw him at Terrace Houses in Ephesus.

And later that day, we also saw my favorite cook and a good friend Hatice Mercan’s facebook profile. Hatice and her son Celil had Michael Douglas as their guest for lunch.
I am sure Michael Douglas and his family loved the food prepared by Hatice and her team. 
They have the best food around Ephesus.

Coincidentally Hatice’s daughter Cansu who lives in Germany was also at the restaurant and she gave Michael Douglas the Turkish Cookbook that she authored.
​This must have been a great memory for Hatice and her family.
Arzu was about to fly to Germany that day, so she was just prepared to take off for the Airport and she gets a chance to meet Michael Douglas in person and was able to give him her cookbook.

By the way I was in Ephesus on jan 4, 2020 Saturday with Cengiz İçten on an educational tour and I am preparing a short video sequel about Ephesus that features Mr. İçten as the expert unveiling many mysteries of Ephesus city in detail. So please stick around to see these videos.
As Cengiz İçten says, Michael Douglas found Ephesus way more well-preserved compared to the iconic Roman City of Pompeii of Naples, Italy. 
Michael Douglas coming to Turkey and visiting important world heritage sites like Ephesus is so important for the image of the country for sure. 
I also had a small reminder of the celebrities who visited Ephesus in the past,
The earliest one was Liv Tyler in 2019
Frodo of Lord of the Rings Elijah Wood had also visited Ephesus on Aug 22, 2015
Pope Benedict had visited Ephesus on November 29, 2006
Prince Charles visited Ephesus on November 27, 2007
Bill Gates and Melinda Gates visited Ephesus on October 6, 2005
Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton visited Ephesus on February 21, 2003
Elton John had a concert in Ephesus in 2001
Sting had a concert at the Great Theater of Ephesus on July 2, 1993.
Jethro Tull had a concert at Ephesus Ancient Theater on July 15, 1991.
