My Hierapolis and Kusadasi Tour - Ender was my tour guide. The best tour guide you can have. With all the knowledge of the history of the places we visited. Nice, kind and funny. Always available to answer any questions that you have about anything in the tour. I’m recommending him 500%. The best tour guide I ever had. Thank you for the amazing time I have with you.

Excellent Tour Experience with Mert and Ali - I traveled solo from Washington D.C and joined the tour. The tour was led by Mert and the driver Ali. They were local to the area and they had in-depth knowledge of all the sites and ruins and did an excellent job to ensure that the group is able to thoroughly see everything. I give the highest rating for their tour and I would highly recommend you join this team for this great experience.

Very nice experience in Ephesus and surroundings - Merve is a very nice guide. She knows her subject, you can see she studied history. She explained to us very well the ancient city of Ephesus, the house of Mary and the temple of Arthemis which really allowed us to picture what it was like at the time. She takes her time and speaks English very clearly. I recommend without problem. The taxi team and partner shops are very nice too. Does not push for sale but allows to know different local products.

Day in Ephesus - We really enjoyed our day in Ephesus. Our guide Mert was amazing, with lots of knowledge and incites. Lunch was the best we’ve had out of all our tours. The highlight was the 2 hours spent around the ancient Ephesus city - which has been preserved and rebuilt very well, with just the right amount of preservation and re-use of original materials
