Great tour - We had a great tour guide, Jon! He was well spoken and well well educated to the history of Turkey. He fid a great tour and the group was well pleased. The only comment from the group was time management for our tour. We all could tell of his passion for history and we all wanted to hear it, but we ran out of time to see other things. It was a nice pleasure to have a tour guide that wasn’t a driver guide. He was able and did give us his undivided attention. The time management wasn’t all his fault either as sadly we ended up being there during the world cup soccer game and traffic was horrific. He was very gracious to be sure we got back to our destination by escorting us. Would highly recommend!

Istanbul - I must say this is the best tour experience I have had. She was very knowledgeable took me to all the right places and almost also helped avoid the crowds. Very insightful. Also helped me go to reputable places for some gift shopping. I strongly recommend her. She also has a lot of knowledge of Ephesus and I think she would be a great tour guide for Ephasus well.
