Fabulous private tour of Ancient City - This Turkey Tour experience with tour guide Ercument Ozden was such a pleasant surprise. Ercument had wonderful knowledge of the history of the Ancient City allowing us to visualize how life might have been back then. He gave us a clear overview of Turkish geography and some history. He spoke English very clearly and the driver was always there to meet us . The van was luxury , comfortable and the air conditioning temp was perfect. Ercument customized our tour to meet our desire to stay longer in the Ancient City. The lunch was very good and the rug weaving demo was very interesting. I was glad that I had read other people’s reviews of the required stops as that helped us understand the process and how to politely keep the tour moving. I would recommend this tour and suggest asking for Ercument Ozden

Friendly, professional, educational tour - Ercüment was so friendly, personal, and knowledgeable. He had a spacious air-conditioned van and driver for us. A former teacher, he taught us all about Turkey’s geography and history. Ancient Ephesus was amazing and then he brought us to 3 different local arts - rugs, leather, and ceramics - to give us a taste of local culture. For lunch he chose a delicious and relaxing outdoor venue. We had a great day with Ercü. Highly recommend.

Amazing way to see Kusadai! - What an amazing way to see this country for the first time. Stopped in on a cruise for 1 day and was limited on time. From the moment we stepped off the boat our guide Ercument (or as my two young daughters called him all day “Arco”) was present and overly accommodating to us. His knowledge of the area and ability to adapt the tour for two young kids was amazing. We learned so much and had the honor of making a new friend in Ercument. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful day at Ephesus! - Such a wonderful day! Very easy pickup right from the port and a fabulous tour of Ephesus! Ercument was such a knowledgeable and kind guide, it was a pleasure spending time with him and learning the deep history of Turkey. The carpet weaving demonstration was very cool, followed by traditional Turkish lunch in the countryside. Highly recommend for anyone stopping in Kusadasi on a cruise!
