Just Go!!! - Excellent tour with the most considerate guide and driver! Dariya did an amazing job of getting us into the top spots quickly and provided detailed narration for each highlight. The lunch was excellent and the carpet weavers are amazing to watch but rhe sales pressure is very high. Definitely better and more personalized than any cruise tour.

Great experience, great tour guide, great value - We visited Kusadasi / Ephesus as part of a cruise and opted to book this tour, and I’m so glad we did. The value of this tour is unbeatable. The company provided easy to follow instructions and the meeting location at the port was very easy to find. The company was very professional and dedicated to ensuring we arrived back to the cruise port on time. Our group was small which provided a more personalized experience, which we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. Our tour guide Aysel was wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and ensured we had a really great day. Definitely pack a hat and/or umbrella for the Ephesus visit. Overall great experience.

Excellent tour - Our guide, Medi, was awesome! Great communicator & speaker, provided just enough info on each of the sites, ample time to visit the areas, didn't feel rushed and never got bored. One of the many highlights was the tour & lunch at the Turkish Rug site. Food was absolutely delish and we were all awed by the talented artists that create those beautiful rugs! The gentlemen showcasing them were entertaining as well ... the flying rug trick is impressive. :) Highly recommend this tour!
