Knowledgeable, Approachable and Tasty Experience - Isik was super accommodating and approachable and was a super knowledgeable tour leader for our trip. Lunch was outstanding, and after having another pre booked tour lunch a few days ago that was a disappointment, this was a welcome change! The meat in particular was beautiful. Isik helped us get the best angles in photos at historical site and gave us a great overview of Türkiye on the way to the sights. Definitely recommend.

Stunning Ephesus - Fantastic trip to the city of Ephesus. Only 8 of us on the small coach so was great not having to wait on loads of people. Our guide Firah was very good and interacted with all of the group. Ephesus was stunning. The other stops at the house of Mary and Athena’s column were interesting and timed right. We could’ve done without the Leather and Carpet factory tours but was a nice finish having lunch before our return to our cruise ship.

Amazing Art and Heritage - Hati and Cesar were the best! Hati was very nice and extremely knowledgeable on the history and customs of the culture. The government funded carpet program for the women was better than going to any museum. Thank you for sharing the food, teas, and candy of your nation! It makes it hard to have to go back home :)

Comfortable time in a foreign city - Hatie was an amazing tour guide who was always open to any questions and favors we asked. She is very knowledgeable about every site we went to and was able to answer every question we had. Even at lunch, when we wanted a Turkish dish to try and didn’t know if they served it, she asked the kitchen personally and was able to bring us some. 5/5 would recommend
