A worthwhile private experience - Date of experience - 27th May 2024 We met Huseyin, our guide on arrival at Izmir airport and had the day with him to see Ephesus. We had such a lovely time with Huseyin, learning about the region and its sights He took very good care of us, away from the crowds and was very friendly yet professional. Huseyin took us to a very quaint and cute local restaurant for lunch which was peaceful and had excellent local Anatolian food. Ephesus was a huge awe inspiring site definitely worth visiting. Thank you for the nice time and we wish Huseyin all the best for his future.

Wonderful guide - Derya Şimay Özkurt is an outstanding tour guide. Experienced, knowledgeable, warm and engaging, she’s a passionate storyteller. Her enthusiasm and passion for Ephesus are contagious. Our tour of Ephesus was not a cookie-cutter excursion but a personalized experience. She’s exceptionally knowledgeable but also flexible and attentive to detail, and adept at tailoring her tours to meet the interests and needs of her clients. During the tour we made some requests, and she masterfully adjusted the schedule to accommodate us, without loosing any site seeing. Derya’s ability to connect with tourists on a personal level and share her genuine appreciation for the region's unique features ensures that the tour is not only informative but also inspiring and memorable.

Gufte is a gem! - Gufte was bar none, the kindest, most organized, professional, fun, resourceful, accommodating guide I’ve ever had. And she is lovely; intelligent, curious, open and just so so sweet. We loved spending time with her and we Wished we could take her back home with us! We felt like we hit the jackpot in finding her. Hope you come visit us, Gufte, so we can host you with the same class and joy you gave to us. We LOVE the Turkish people. You showed us the beauty of your culture. Thank you so very much, Gufte.

Puerto Travel - excellent - We did 2 tours with Puerto Travel (September 2023 & December 2023). Ms Ayfer was very responsive to emails and the flights & tour was booked promptly. Our guide for both trips was Derya and she was a lovely guide. She was very informative and professional. We liked her so much on the first tour that we requested her for the second trip in December. We had a very positive experience both times using Puerto Travel.

Awesome experience - An unforgettable journey through time and spirituality. The House of the Virgin Mary was deeply moving, Ephesus an absolute marvel. Sirince Village added a delightful touch. The guide, GUFTE🙂 was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the journey truly immersive. Flawlessly organized tour, ample time at each site, comfortable transportation, and valuable Q&A.

Experience Turkey with the BEST tour guide ever! - We had a very good time with Gufte Kilic as our tour guide in Ephesus. Everything that she taught us about the area enriched our experience. We have both fallen in LOVE with Turkey because of her kindness and hospitality. Her fluency in English is remarkable! Her patience with us during our walk was appreciated, because we walked slowly, and she answered our many questions thoroughly and well due to her extensive knowledge of Turkey and history. We are very happy and pleased that Güfte was our tour guide. We would highly recommend her to anyone. We were well taken care of by her and are very confident that she will do the same for others.
