Wonderful Visit & Great Guide

Published on Dec, 2019

While our cruise ship was docked in Kusadasi, Turkey, we had a private tour of Ephesus, the home of the Virgin Mary and several other sites in the area. Our guide was Aysa, who was very knowledgeable about the area and was very friendly. It was so helpful to have Aysa walking right next to us thru the crowded Ephesus area and explaining the various sites. This was much easier than being in a large group and trying to keep track of the guide. We also visited the ruins of the Temple of Artemis and the church of St John, and visited a mosque. We had a typical Turkish lunch at an outdoor restaurant and visited the Ephesus Museum in Selcuk before going back to the ship. It was a great full-day excursion with a great guide. We highly recommend this especially with Aysa.

Great private tour

Published on Nov, 2019

Our tour guide Banu did a wonderful job. We were greeted on time at the cruise port and escorted to a very comfortable, clean vehicle. At her suggestion, we went to Ephesus first to avoid some of the large tour buses. We visited the House of Mary and Temple of Artemis. We finished early and Banu offered several suggestions for other activities. We opted to visit a leather outlet and watched a fashion show....enlightening and no pressure to purchase. Banu was genuinely concerned that we ended our time with her early but all of us just wanted to relax so we headed back to the ship. Would definitely suggest this tour instead of the big bus tours offered by the cruise line.

Our tour guide, Nur was terrific. She was engaging and very informative. We learned a great deal about the historical significance of this special place. Her detailed information enlightened us and sparked our curiosity. We would definitely recommend this tour. The Kotcheks

Our tour guide, Zeynab, was extremely informative and pleasant to be with. She was very professional in every respect. She was punctual and took excellent care of us. I certainly recommend her services.

Trip

Published on Oct, 2019

Zeynap was our tour guide, and she was the greatest addition to our trip. She was very knowledgeable about the great places we went to, and kindly answered any questions we had. I couldn’t imagine this trip being any educational and fun without her. I won’t forget how she stayed with us longer some days, taking time out of her family. This Ephesus Tour was one of my greatest experiences in life, and I would gladly go again. They took us to great villages and took us to delicious restaurants. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who’s looking for a great trip.
