Highlight of our trip! - Best tour of our Mediterranean cruise! We are a family of four with age range from 25 - 53 years old and we all had a blast! We decided to book a tour outside what’s offered on our ship.
The bike tour was INCREDIBLE with Emre and Mithat guiding us through villages and vineyards! We had a chance to drink DELICIOUS Turkish coffee with locals. We saw hardworking farmers and got to sample organic cherries, mulberries, plums, etc growing along the bike paths!
We stopped by a place who made rugs by locals. It’s up to you if you want to buy. Lunch there was delicious with local cuisines!
Then Emre took us to Ephesus. That was also a beautiful experience! Emre was so knowledgeable and liked a waking encyclopedia! We all learned so much about Turkey! Turkey, btw, far exceeded our expectations! People were friendly and the city was clean, orderly, and full of history!
Thank you so much Emre for taking such great care of us! We also want to thank Mithat and Omer who drove us in comfortable and luxury van! We highly recommend this tour for those who want a unique, active, fun, and cultural immersive experience!

Incredible e-bike tour that includes Ephesus, a lunch at a local eatery, and wine tasting. This tour has it all! - We booked an e-bike tour last minute, as we were on a 12 night cruise aboard the Celebrity Ascent. We had already been on several tours, in Nice, Rome Florence, etc. But let me say-even though those tours were interesting and informative, none came close to this tour. This is 100% due to the fact that Emre provided an experience that is hard to beat. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and provided everything we needed from new e-bikes to detailed and intimate knowledge of Ephesus, Kusadasi and Turkey in general. We cherished our day and have already started spreading the word to our friends. Take the tour-you will not be disappointed.

Pamukkale & Ephesus: 2 great day trips - We had a fantastic two days with Emre- our guide who is also the company owner. We chose his company based on some fabulous reviews which we second ! Emre is very pleasant, professional , punctual, flexible and attentive to need. He genuinely wanted us to experience the best that a Turkey had to offer.
Our 3 hour drive to Pamukkale flew by as Emre was most engaging in conversation across diverse topics from geopolitics, economy and culture to traditions and family life. His passion and knowledge of Turkey, its history, archeology, mythology and deities was on full display in Ephesus… we learned so much from him. His English is impeccable. The cycling through villages outside Ephesus, the fantastic lunch at a beautiful winery and our visit to Phoenicia Travel’s future cooking-class kitchen was very special. The e-bike was perfect for the handful of small hills while the hybrid bike was ideal for my cycling-loving hubby. Emre proved to be more than just a tour guide. He is now our Turkish friend with fabulous ideas for future personalized tours that include new Turkish destinations, sailing, more cycling and cooking with his wife as Chef! This experience has changed our preference from large organized tours to more personal private one. This is worth every penny when you find the right tour guide and company. We found both!

What an amazing e-bike and cooking tour! - What an amazing tour we had with Azime and her boss. We did an e-bike ride through the Turkish countryside and small towns. The weather was chilly, but beautiful and sunny. Azime even lent me her gloves when my hands got cold :) After the bike ride we drove over to an area where we had our cooking class. We got to make Turkish dolma, an amazing carrot salad, and cheese rolls. We cooked it all up and then our chef/teacher brought in even more food to supplement and we stuffed ourselves until we couldn't eat anymore. It was such a fantastic day for the four of us. Azime is a great guide/host and we absolutely recommend her and her company. As a parting gift she gave us all jars of olive oil made from olive trees in her family gardens. Such a kind gesture! Photos of our tour and recipes for the things we cooked arrived in our email after we got home.

Fantastic Experience Start to Finish. Must Do! - Absolutely one of a kind experience. Emre is a fantastic, genuine, friendly, knowledgeable host. You will be the envy of your friends. Not only do you get a personal guided tour of Ephesus, but then you get to experience what most others don't; a bike (I did the e-bike) ride through villages eating where locals eat with breath taking views. With the e-bike, it was a breeze and I'm a diva! Tour was above and beyond our expectations. This is a fabulous gem to find.

Bike, Cycle, Culture, Cuisine. - My wife picked out this bike for our port in Kusadasi. We have seen Ephesus once prior and wanted to get deeper into the local culture. WE DID! Once we toured Ephasis again, with exceptional cultural clarity, off to the bikes.
Emre did an amazing job of helping us both understand the Turkish culture(s), and allowed us to experience it so much more.
A great ride through a couple of small villages and through a few orchards and vineyards that was topped off with great local refreshments. The E-bikes were a success for those "once a month" riders. And they have a staff following safely behind to help with anything unexpected. Please try it... next time we return we will do the cooking tour.

Best guide and tour - Azime was the best guide!!! She was so knowledgeable on the history and culture of Türkiye. We spent the day visiting multiple sights on our e-bikes and van transportation. Our group had different interest and she was so accommodating to make us all happy. Definitely a 5/5 experience.

History, culture, e-bikes and a beautiful da custom to what we were looking for! - We had such a wonderful day with Azime. This tour was such a wonderful mix of history, culture, site seeing and even a very special lunch with Turkey pancakes and tea! The e bikes were an added bonus of fun riding along the country hillsides and she customized our route so that we could end a winery! Do not hesitate to book this special day!
