Experience, a love of history and a true tour guide!

We absolutely loved our tour with Selchuk. He made it so easy. he was in touch with us prior to the tour to see what sites were of greatest interest to us. The evening prior to the tour? he gave us simple instructions along with a video where exactly to meet him. The port in Kusedasi while beautiful can be confusing. He attended to our every need and explained everything to us. He was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. highly recommend Selcuk and this tour. A highlight of our trip

Limited time and seen a lot

Very nice experience. Selçuk is a high qualified guide. We booked this tour because of the limited level of time (cruise). I was highly impressed by the Efeze site. What a day!! In addition I what to thank our driver Cemal

Incredible experience (No obligation for shops)

We had an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of Ephesus, and much of that was thanks to our outstanding guide, Selçuk, and our excellent driver, Cemal. Selçuk’s knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought every site to life. At the House of the Virgin Mary, he helped us appreciate the spiritual significance of the stone house, the peaceful chapel, the prayer wall, and the sacred spring, all set in a beautiful wooded mountain setting. At the ancient city of Ephesus, Selçuk expertly guided us through Marble Street, Curetes Street, the magnificent Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, Hadrian’s Temple, and the Agora. His explanations made it easy to imagine daily life in this remarkable ancient city. He also pointed out fascinating details in the Terrace Houses, including the stunning mosaics, frescoes, and advanced Roman engineering. The visit to the Basilica of St. John was equally memorable. Selçuk shared the history of St. John’s tomb and the Byzantine basilica while leading us to breathtaking panoramic views. At the Temple of Artemis, he helped us understand how this once-grand Wonder of the Ancient World shaped the history of the region. Throughout the day, Cemal provided safe, comfortable, and professional transportation, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and stress-free. Together, Selçuk and Cemal made this tour educational, enjoyable, and truly special. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting to experience the rich history, culture, and spiritual heritage of Ephesus. Thank you both for an exceptional day!

Van and walking tour.

Had a great time when visiting Ismir. Our tour guide Hande did a great job giving details at all of our stops. Had a great lunch in an open garden restaurant called Obam. Also, our driver Gemal got us to and from safely.
