THE best day - Esra was our wonderful tour guide and what an amazing day we had. She is so knowledgeable…has so many stories to share…we went to the front of the line at every stop no waiting at all. Plus having a small group was the absolute best. I couldn’t imagine being in one of the large groups. We were able to customize our trip to suit us and her suggestions for our future travels in Turkey were extremely helpful. Zero worries about being back to the ship in time. I usually don’t write reviews but man she knocked it out of the park. I am a travel agent and will share her info for anyone wanting to tour Turkey

Amazing and educationally fun - So much interesting history here and beautiful places. It was a short trip but I learned a lot from my tour guide, Gonca Daşdemir who made it fun and very easy and not rushed or stressful which was very nice. She is such a dear person. She even took me to see a local shop where there were beautiful clay arts to make the most of my time. I would recommend her or this company and I will be visiting again! Thank you :)
