A jaw-droppingly enlightening experience! - We saw several incredibly well preserved Ancient Cities surrounded by the most beautiful trees, nature and mountains whilst our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Olgu, told us about the Greeks, the Romans and the Turkish people. If you do not mind wearing a winter's jacket, you will be blessed with quiet, surreal sites you don't have to share with anyone (barring Ephesus). Thank you for a historically mind-blowing experience!

Fantastic tour to Ephesus with Olgu! - Olgu is an amazing guide! Our trip was absolutely fantastic! He seems to be a master of the region and very knowledgeable of the history. He is a local of the Kuşadası which is an additional advantage and was very handy for us as he did pinpoint suggestions! Thanks a lot for the great trip again Olgu!

Have fun while you learn, you will always be pleased if you choose Mr Ozgur. - Our tour guide was Mr Ozgur. Mr Ozgur was a very warm and friendly person who had a great deal of knowledge, and he managed to impart it well. Some tour guides just bombard you will information and you never remember any of it, Mr Ozgur on the other hand asked us questions and made us think so that we could then see the link between what he told us and other things that we already knew about. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour and we were fortunate that our tour organiser 'Turkey Insiders' always manage to get the perfect guide for every trip, in this case it was Mr Ozgur.

Great Ephesus tour! - Great tour, we were picked Up in our hotel on time and went to Ephesus. Olgü our tour guide did a fantastic work, friendly, joyful, helped some of us all day walking in ephesus which can be slippery in some areas. Most importantly, He’s very knowledgeable in history, he can easily explain everything you’re looking at in this fantastic place. Van ride was comfortable, for lunch Olgu took us to great local spot, good food and price. We finished the day in a beautiful ceramic store, beautiful pieces there.
Highly recommend the tour and doing it with him!
