The best tour and tour guide. - The best tour, and tour guide, we've had since we arrived in Turkey. The tour was great, very informative, and all the activities were well planned. We arrived early to all places and definitely beat lines. Our guide, Oguz, was THE BEST. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional caring, had a sense of humor, and helped us take great pictures. Thank you so much, it was a wonderful experience.

Memorable visit to Ephesus - Begüm was our guide. Pickup was easy in front of Starbucks at the cruise port. Comfortable Airconditioned vehicle for our group of 6. Begüm is extremely passionate and knowledgeable on the history/ruins of Ephesus and provided very detailed commentary as we moved through the ruins. The show in the museum was also a highlight on our tour. Begum has a very good command of the English language and articulated the tour accordingly. Ephesus was very busy, taking pictures was a challenge at all times. Highly recommend Begüm and the tour.

Historical Journey - Our tour with our guide, Omer Kaan Tunc, was outstanding. His extensive knowledge of ancient and modern history was extremely informative when visiting Ephesus, St John's and the Ephesus museum. His English language skill is also excellent. You won't be disappointed with Kaan, very helpful in all aspects of our first visit to Turkey.

Great family excursion - Our tour guide, Ali, was great. We were apprehensive to do a walking tour with a toddler in tow, but Ali was not just patient, but very engaging with both kids, the toddler and a very inquisitive six year old. Ali has extensive experience and education; there was no question he couldn’t answer and his passion for the history and culture of Turkey came through. Highly recommend this tour as Ali will completely take into account your specific needs and desires to give you a memorable experience!
