Traveller reviews
The best excursion I have ever experienced. Our guide's English was amazing. Her knowledge of the area was above and beyond. Transportation was fantastic and lunch delicious
Our wonderful tour guide Ecem did a fantastic job showing us the most important sites in Ephesus. She was kind, energetic and so helpful. She explained the history at each site and answered our questions. To finish, she recommended a delicious Turkish food restaurant. Highly recommend the tour and Ecem as a guide!
Our guide Banu was great!! We also went to a rug factory where they make handmade rugs it was enlightening As well as a family owned moonstone store. She was super knowledgeable about Ephesus which was the highlight of our trip
Alpi did a great job. Very knowledgeable and flexible to meet our needs. He was very friendly and easy going.
Overall, this was a really great tour. Ephesus was amazing, and our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, very personable and easy to talk to. We also went to a school where they are learning to make rugs and learning to cook. We were able to stay and enjoy a delicious lunch! The only negative was the sales pitch to buy rugs at the school. Overall, though, this was a really great day.
This was a tour to get you into the very last place to sell you rugs. They labeled it as a Turkish meal and see a school where women make Turkish rugs. There was no school. They gave a brief demonstration then spent the majority of the time trying to convince you to buy a rug without letting you leave easily. This was supposed to be a Biblical tour. There was nothing Biblical about it. We were given all the same information as any other tour and went to the same places. We thought we would mostly go to the same places but be given information from a Biblical perspective. That was not the case.
Our tour guide was amazing! He helped us visit so many historical places. We loved our time in Kusadasi.
Overall a very good tour. Our guide was very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Four stars because of the unnecessary stop at the carpet makers,. The high pressure sales tactics left a bad taste in our mouths for what was otherwise an excellent tour.
