An interesting location and tour - Our driver, Ibo, arrived promptly at our agreed pick-up point. He is warm and engaging. We had a small group tour of Ephesus, a place we were eager to see. It was an informative tour of a location that is mentioned in Paul the Apostle’s letters and John the Apostle’s (of Patmos) text. We were given time by Ibo, to explore the site and other interesting highlights. This time of year was not too busy. Note, there is an additional entrance fee of 40 Euros per person. We were also taken to a high-quality carpet manufacturer and leather goods retail shop. It was good to see these quality products, though I personally feel the sellers were too eager in trying to persuade us to buy items and could be more subtle and adopt a less insistent sales approach. That said, Ibo was very adaptable and sensitive to when we were ready to move to the next phase of our tour. Ibo also explained and pointed out relevant monuments that illustrated modern Turkey’s unique character, shaped by centuries of layered historical transformation – due to conquests, seismic political shifts and religious change. The vehicle was comfortable and drop off at the port was well-timed.

Ephesus Day Tour - Seyhan was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable. He was also very accommodating to those with a few mobility limits. I would definitely recommend him as a guide. I am a travel agent in the US and will be recommending him to clients.

My first trip in Turkey - Denise is a great tour guide. I personally like his style in guiding our group. Love the wonderful weather in May. Tour arrangements were great. Visited four spots. Got a leather jacket that suits me in this trip. Unfortunately, I’m not a rugged user. Didn’t get a rug. The historic sites were amazing to see.
