We are Lale and Kagan KosaganOwners and operators of KSG Tours.
Lale received her professional tour guiding license in 1989, a year before Kagan.
Working as licensed tour guides for over 30 years, we earned a knack for
“Seeing things from the eyes of our guests”.
Having worked for others for many years, there came a time when we both felt overqualified and decided to launch our own travel business, mostly on a private basis.
From the first moment, we tried to give a friendly, relaxing and yet professional enough approach to everything we do.
Now, we have a circle of trust around us.
This is a chain; a chain of relations… our guests know well, we will always do everything in our power to protect that circle of trust.
This explains why most of our reservations today are direct referrals.
Then, there was a stage when we were not able to accept all incoming requests since the two of us were always booked.
This is when we formed a team of licensed tour guides who are, we believe, as good as we are, have similar principles in life, and share our professional values.
The practice of working as a team on our terms, became a great success.
Naturally, we had to make some operational changes, applied to TURSAB (Turkish Travel Agencies Organisation) and became a fully licensed travel agent / service provider in 2009.
Now, we are KSG Tours and Travel Services.
However, most of our guests still know us as Lale, Kagan Kosagan and Team as their private tour guides.
Well…
TripAdvisor keeps on giving us Traveler’s Choice awards (5 years in a row now!).
In 2025, we received a Certificate of Excellence, and made it to the top 10% of things to do worldwide.
People talk quite a bit about us on Cruise Critics, mostly under the name as ‘kosagan‘.
Rick Steves’ guidebooks also have mentioned us as a suggested service provider in Turkey.
How good we really are…
Guests are to decide !
