Great half day private tour - Necat was our tour guy. He was thorough and knowledgeable. He was proud to share his Turkish culture and history. We learnt quite a bit from him. The lunch was simple and tasty. We were brought to a carpet making school and ended up buying a silk carpet. We recognized the boss who tried hard to sell us a carpet a year ago in Montenegro. What’s the odd to see him again in Turkey??? Overall, it’s a well organized private tour.

Efe did a wonderful job showing us the beauty and history of Ephesus. - Efe was very professional and very knowledgeable about the Attractions that he took us to, including the ancient city of Ephesus, Andy Virgin Mary’s house. He showed us an explained what we were looking at when we went to the temple of Artemis as well as the basilica of St. John.. It was a very hot day, making it a little uncomfortable. It was definitely a joy to get into that beautiful clean private van that took us from place to place.
The lunch was good. We had kebabs and salad. I would recommend this tour and this tour guide. He did everything to make our day comfortable and enjoyable.

Great Tour - Great overall tour! Communication was good before the tour and pick up went smoothly as set up. Ender was a knowledgeable, professional guide and the driver did a great job of picking us up at designated places on time. Vehicle was well maintained and clean. Cold water provided. The pace of the tour was adjusted for the heat and our age yet we saw everything. Information shared was engaging and the guide’s command of English made it easy to understand and ask questions. Lunch was wonderful. Great tour!! Start to end!! Highly recommend!!

Excellent experience!!!! - This was the best tour we have ever experienced. The guide (Ikhut, I think I spelled in correctly) was phenomenal! He is so knowledgeable on everything we did!! The lunch was delicious and the carpet making was extraordinary!!! Yes, there ii is a sajes pitch but we never felt pressured at all. It was simply a lesson on their carpets and offer for us to purchase. If I were in the market for a rug, I would have considered it!!! Thank you for a great time!!! I highly recommend this tour!!!

A quick and superficial visit - We conducted the tour with a private guide in Spanish. The local agency in charge was Ada Travel. The guide had a very poor background despite his 40 years of experience. The comments were of the type "on the right a water park and on the left a hotel" and inside the city describes common places that any EGB student would know. We missed the visit to the amazing "Village terraces" with their frescoes even though they were explicitly included in the tour description because the guide completely obvious them. The guide was friendly and also took us to see carpets, but we would have enjoyed and learned much more making the visit on our own and Chatgpt.
