Medi was a terrific guide and was great tour saw some great history
A terrific experience. Our guide Hati was knowledgeable, very informative and very friendly. The small group experience much more efficient and personal than a large group trying to navigate the ruins of Ephesus. Overall a terrific half day, thanks to Hati and our mini bus driver.
Isik was the perfect guide. She stopped at every important stop to explain. She was also nice in the small talk and even knel a few Words dutch which was also nice.
We had a great experience on our half day tour with Arif. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Ephesus was awe-inspiring and worth the cost of admission. Highly recommend.
Excellent tour covering ancient Ephesus people, culture and history. The tour guide, iskis, was well informed and shared her knowledge expertly. A must see tour for anyone interested in history.
We visited the historical ruins of Ephesus and temple of Artemis with Funda as our guide. She was informative and ran us through the historical perspective and significance of the ruins. We had an enjoyable tour and will definitely engage her again for our next Turkeyie trip

We took a private tour and our guide was wonderful. We had several tours on our extended trip and our guide, Barboros, was the best guide of all our tours. We had a mix up with a taxi driver taking us to the wrong pick up point and Barboros was so kind to come to the new location to pick us up. He catered the tour to our needs, being very patient and considerate for us as senior citizens. What's more he was so knowledgeable, informative and engaging. It was a highlight of our trip and well worth it.
Oguz was our guide, he was so informative and had an amazing personality. Oguz explained everything to us including our wonderful authentic lunch. I definitely recommend this company but especially Oguz!!
Ilgu was an amazing guide. The food was amazingly delicious. The experience was fabulous. Ilgu was patient and gave us so much information. Highly recommend this company. Our transport bus was comfy and cool
