Ephesus tour review - Nur was our tour guide and she was a delight! She is extremely personable and immediately makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years. She took us to a local restaurant and it was the best and most delicious meal we had on our whole vacation! She is very knowledgeable about Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman histories and cultures, answering all of our questions. We highly recommend her as a guide!

Kotor Visit - Driver very friendly & spoke English ok. Car reaked of diesel. Made us all very uncomfortable. Damien was punctual & accommodating. We felt the price was too much for what we got & amount of time he spent with us. We even paid him $70 extra to see things beyond the port. Felt it should have been included in original pymt.
