Well-arranged, coordinated & an excellent guided daily tour… That was a small-group day trip from Izmir to visit ancient Ephesus and several other sights around the area. Timely & comfortable hotel pick-ups and drop-offs. The guide was excellent, engaging, informative, and well-spoken local of the area. We were served a locally prepared lunch, sumptuous & delicious. It was very nice to see the local carpet weaving. We enjoyed the trip immensely but it was a little long day though.

Excellent private guided Ephesus tour from the airport and worth it. We had a guided tour to Ephesus from the best travel agency in Turkey and their tour guide was very informative and didn’t rush us at all. Other tour guides could be seen moving the groups along at a faster pace and our tour guide took extra time to explain things. He gave interesting tidbits on cultural aspects too. The lunch at the local place was fantastic, with special care given to vegetarians such as our group of 5 pax. Thank you very much for your superb services. We want to see the Pamukkale before going to Fethiye Oludeniz. Could you please let us know that if it is possible to organize a private tour to Pamukkale and Hierapolis ancient city for us from our hotel in Izmir and after the tour drop us at our hotel in Fethiye?

My wife, my son, and I had a phenomenal day visiting Ephesus, the House of Virgin Mary, and the Sirince Village. We enjoyed a fine day with guide Ozan and the driver was very good. Hotel pickup/dropoff in Izmir worked well. Ozan was extremely knowledgeable and was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. he gave us “free time” at all the sites so we could look around at our leisure. All in all a phenomenal experience in Ephesus ancient city! we will come back very soon and would book through this agency again.
