The best sightseeing experience - This was one of the best sightseeing we have ever had. The place is amazing, the pictures don't do the justice the real thing. Our tour guide Bugra was great, showed us around, provided so many interesting details about the place and its history. Even my 13 years old son found the tour fascinating. Bugra asked my son a lot of questions and interacted with him a lot, making the experience unforgettable. After the sightseeing we had lovely lunch with delicious Turkish food. We visited carpet factory and learned how the carpets are made. We could even watch ladies during work.
All and all great experience. Highly recommend.

Great day in Turkey - Eren was a friendly fantastic guide! He told good stories, was knowledgeable, and was very accommodating with my mobility challenge father. The side trips to the local vendors were a nice touch and packed the high-pressure sales techniques you sometimes see on these tours. The leather store has beautiful jackets and the audience participation in the fashion show was fun! The did at the carpet viewing central was delicious. I would I could have afforded a jacket or carpet. Unfortunately they were a bit out of my price range.
Overall it was a great trip.

Amazing price for wonderful tour - Party of 7 of us booked through TripAdvisor for this tour. Much cheaper than others we had seen and very impressed with our tour. Picked up by our tour guide Eren from the cruise port and taken to our car with a separate driver.
They took us to the expected sites of Temple of Artemis and Ephseus as well as some additional stops where we saw leather jackets/bags, a tourist souvenir shop and also carpet maker. Lunch was also included which was plentiful- we thought it had just been breads and salads etc and were full but then they brought some things such as chicken and meatballs. Great food.
Very knowledgeable guide and excellent English. Private car was always there waiting when we left different places.
Highly recommend!

GREAT GUIDE FOR OUR DAY IN EPHESUS!! - Walking through the old city of Ephesus!
Bihter Coskan was very very knowledgeable, but she did not overwhelm us with too much information. She shared facts about family life, education, and the different parts & terrains in Turkey.

Excellent trip with Seyhan - We had an excellent trip with Seyhan, collected from our hotel only an hour after I booked the trip, in an air conditioned car. I booked the trip for myself and my 2 children (aged 8 and 13). My son (8) had a conversation about Greek and Roman Gods with Seyhan. Seyhan took us around a couple of local shops, where my son did some clay modelling with the "master" and we watched a fashion show at the leather shop. Seyhan told me my son could get in to Ephesus for free if had proof of age, so this is worth noting (age 8 and under). He was very informative and my son absolutely loved all the information Seyhan gave us, that he even told an older gentleman all about Ephesus, when we stopped for a drink. Seyhan then took us for a traditional lunch of salads, dips, breads, kebabs and puddings. Even the kiddies loved this! We had a fantastic time and my son enjoyed telling everyone about it when we got home. (The teenager liked it too, but isn't quite as vocal as the younger one 😂)

Very nice tour guide - BIHTER COSKAN was excellent, she was very enthusiastic about meeting us, asking what our expectations and also if we were interested in doing shopping like leather, Turkish Carpets etc
Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions.
She was aware of the crowds that was catching behind us and quickly got us to the location best for picture so there is no crowd around us
I understand the reason for kind of rushing a little but felt we could have taken a little more time enjoying the site.
The lunch was very nice and she explained it well
Very positive experience and I recommend her highly
