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 😂)

Ephesus! House of Mary and Tempke of Artemis - One of our favorite tours through our entire trip. Our tour guide Busra was very patient and accommodating. She allowed us to take our time and enjoy the moment. Even when we went over our allotted time she didn’t mention it. She was great and spoke English well.

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
