This study aims to adapt Tour Leader Guiding Styles Scale which was developed by Tsaur and Teng (2017) into Turkish. The data were collected via convenience sampling method from local tourist participating in a guided tour that departed from Mersin. The validity and reliability analyzes were applied to the data obtained from 309 available questionnaires for this study which was found ethically appropriate by Mersin University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee with the date and decision number of 18/11/2019-028. According to the results of the analyzes, although the scale showed slight differences in terms of expressions, it formed six dimensions parallel to its original structure and showed a valid and reliable structure. The study presents important results in that it provides a useful tool that can be used by researchers who want to associate guiding styles with various variables and it can serve as a reference for travel agencies in arranging tour guides.
