We ❤️ Melis! - Melis is a kind and knowledgeable tour guide and I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking to experience Turkey. She tailored our visit to Kuşadası to our interests and always made sure that our questions were answered. I particularly appreciated that she prepped us before we entered touristy areas and let us know that people would be trying to sell us stuff! 10/10 and will be reserving another tour with Melis if I am ever back in Turkey.

Enchanting Ephesus - Best tour we have taken on our 12 day cruise. Ephesus is magical and we had the best guide ever ! Cem! Be sure to ask for him when you book. Oh, and forget cruise excursions and book a private tour; it was so much better with just our group than being with a large group. Cem was knowledgeable, personable, and catered to our every whim! The tour even included a delicious lunch in a beautiful grove of trees! And a Mercedes van to transport us everywhere!

Esephus Excellent - We were a group of 3 couples who arrived to find our guide Erdem waiting for us at the Kusadasi cruise port. Erdem brought us to a large, modern small bus with our sweet driver. We headed to Esephus and began our tour. Erdem was knowledgeable and considerate. Once we left Ephasus we were taken to an amazing place for lunch where we enjoyed delicious local authentic dishes in an outdoor shaded garden. We were treated with warmth and hospitality! We were then given some options and chose a local traditional pottery shop.The people we met were also very considerate and charming. We were offered apple tea and watched artisans at work. We were relieved our hosts were kind and not pushy salespeople! Loved our day with Erdem! The port area was clean and modern, people were welcoming and friendly. We felt safe and relaxed at all times throughout the tour. Definitely recommend this tour to any visitors.

Amazing Guide and Driver - Guide, Gul Demir, and driver, Onur, met me just as I stepped out of the cruise terminal. Gul escorted me to the waiting luxury vehicle with cold water bottles. Much of the tour was on very uneven surfaces and at my age of 77, I needed to take it slow, and Gul was very considerate and accommodating. She would take my arm when needed to help me along. We visited the site at my pace and Gul was very knowledgeable. Afterward they took me to lunch at a lovely, off-the-beaten path restaurant with a tree-canopied outdoor dining patio and delicious, authentic, local cuisine. The best tour imaginable.
