Must go experience! - This trip was amazing, I have no words to describe the beauty of Pamukkale and the whole history around it and Ephesus which was also part of our two days trip was also incredible. Our tour guide Efes was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to not only answer all our questions but also he treated us like family. The whole trip was very well organized. I highly recommend it to everyone. Also the landscape is very unique and great for beautiful pictures.

Worth it - Our guides (Gonça and Hüseyin aka Hugo) were amazing! Since we were an small group (3 people) it was extremely detailed and they both solved every quesiton we had (tour related or not). The places we visited are beautiful. This tour is totally worth it. The organization was perfect and they were always on time and willing to help.

Very Reliable and Cost effective Turkish tour company - This was an extremely well-organized tour. Everyone was on time for each pickup and drop off which was commendable. Our tour of Ephesus was truly amazing. Our guide was excellent and I learned so much on that day. It reminded me of visiting Pompeii, but I believe more has been excavated there. Was intrigued by the story surrounding The House of Mary and visiting that shrine was memorable. Our hotel in Kusadasi had lovely views of the sea and castle. The staff there was very accomodating. I was somewhat disappointed with the trip to Pammukale. It was at least 3hrs each way and was very crowded. The cliffside pools were very shallow and not the infinity pools I had imagined them to be. Even so, it was a beautiful spot and were able to relax there.

Awesome experience in Ephesus & Pamukkale - We had a great experience with Riza and Okan doing the two-day trip to Ephesus and Pamukkale, they took us to the main spots and explained many details about the places.

Private Tour - Riza was very accommodating and provided expert historical knowledge on all of our tours. Buzak was our driver and he ensured our safe arrival. I sometimes get carsick but he was a great driver and I have no complaints. They both were very kind, but more importantly always punctual and made sure we had enough time to do and see everything we wanted without being rushed. Riza even helped negotiate cheaper prices when we went to the leather factory outlet. I highly recommend visiting Ephesus on a private tour with Riza, you will not regret it.
