By far the best tour we have ever taken. Our guide, Elif, could not have been more accommodating. My husband recently had extensive orthopedic surgery and she was so patient and caring. In addition to her kind manner, Elif was very knowledgeable . It was obvious that she really enjoyed her job..This was the highlight of our trip. Wish we had more time in Ephesus. Highly recommend Elif!
Our tour guide Ms Nur was super knowledgeable and friendly! We were able to customize our day to suit our family ❤️. We all had a wonderful day.
The tour was amazing! Our guide, Nage shared very good information about Ephesus and near by areas. She was patient and made us taste local turkish delicacies and turkish market. It was simply wonderful and really helped us understand Turkish culture.

Tas was amazing! Knowledgeable, fun and kept the whole tour highly entertaining. He organized a fun and very informative day!
It was truly wonderful. This was my first big vacation since the start of COVID and everything felt normal. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very kind. We had someone is our group that had some issues walking and she was patient enough to wait and make sure she felt comfortable while walking on marble.
