Wonderful. Gokmen, our guide, was so knowledgeable and explained the history of the sights to us extremely well. I was very happy with his service and would use him again. He took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch which was reasonable and delicious.

Our tour of the ancient city of Ephesus with Nagehan was truly exceptional! From start to finish, she kept us engaged with her deep knowledge, passion for history, and warm personality. The 7 hours flew by as we explored the breathtaking ruins, and we appreciated how she brought the past to life with her storytelling. The experience was even more special with the amazing side tours to the leather workshop, weaving school, and pottery shop. Each stop was fascinating, offering a glimpse into local craftsmanship and traditions. We enjoyed every moment and felt completely immersed in the culture. Thank you, Nagehan, for a top-notch experience! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ephesus you won’t regret it!

Ulas Adali was our private tour guide. He provided historical context not only about the tourist sites, but also about the country's history and background. He was very nice and friendly, and we could ask him questions throughout the trip. He explained everything very well. Overall, this trip was very worthwhile, and we would love to come back again if possible.

It was a lovely trip. Erman was very knowledgeable about Kusadasi and Ephesus and answered all our questions. The ruins of Ephesus are spectacular to see. And we stopped at the Turkish carpet weaving which was also very nice. Apart from people selling « fake genuine » items outside near Mary’s house, it was a wonderful experience!

The best part of the tour was our guide Nur. The least favorite part of our tour was the pressure to buy at the carpet workshop.

It was very interesting to see everything and also to understand the story behind it. I can recommend it to everyone. Our guide, Tas, knows his stuff very well. I would book other organizations with him at any time.

the activities were fantastic Tas arranged them around our own preferences and went above and beyond for us. There were some confusing bits when booking that made it more expensive than the site said but it was completely worth the extra money, Tas our guide was lovely, really knowledgeable and made extra arrangements for us so I could propose to my gf and made our day extra special would 100% recommend.
