3 hours well spent in Kusadasi, Turkey on the Augean Sea - We had an amazing time with our guide, Erdem! He was very knowledgeable and eager to make our experience memorable! We really enjoyed the pace and were very happy with the stops that were included in our tour! In addition to the ruins that we visited in Ephesus, we went to a Turkish rug facility where we learned how these beautiful carpets are made, by hand and then were treated to a lovely lunch! We also visited a wonderful deli where we enjoyed samples of Turkish delight among other delicious treats. We would like to visit this part of Turkey again after this wonderful experience! Thank you Erdem🙏🏻

Great shore excursion! - We had a lovely time with Melis! She was easy to talk to and eager to share information. We asked lots of questions and she was happy to answer them all. The sights are amazing of course! The transportation was also top notch and the lunch was lovely. She was also able to accommodate an earlier than anticipated departure time set by our cruise ship.

Delightful! - We had a lovely day with Meli! She was knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. Our transportation was reliable and was even able to deal with the fact that our ship moved up our all-aboard time by two hours. Highly recommend.

Ephesus Family Tour - We had a wonderful tour day as a family with Erdem as our tour guide. We were able to see Ephesus, Virgin Mary's house, Temple of Artemis and had a delicious local lunch, the private driver kept everything timely and helped avoid many lines and waiting. Erdem personalized our tour and was able to keep our two teenage boys engaged, answered questions and was extremely knowledgeable of the area and history. We were also able to avoid lines throughout the day with Erdem's "fast pass" tour status.
