Ephesus / temple of Artiumus guided tour - Pina was fantastic. Highly recommend. It was hot but she kept us in shaded areas while walking around the tour. We would use this company again.

Historic Istanbul at Its Best! - Excellent excursion to see the highlights of Istanbul! We are a multi-generational group with participants ranging from 80-15 and was looking for a quick and easy way to see the mosques and get to know Istanbul. This excursion was it! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. She grew up in Istanbul and flavored her stories with interesting history and personal experiences. It captured the attention of all of our age groups which is a feat there in of itself. In addition, she altered the experience as we went along. We had a very hot day and with the walking involved, she maneuvered us thoughtfully through the city and often found options for those that needed to sit. Beyond the mosques, she offered to guide some through the Grand Bizarre which helped greatly in making the confusion of that place come alive and be interesting! Everyone appreciated her perspective and help. This tour offered pick up and drop off which was very helpful for our party especially when the heat became overwhelming. Do make sure to plan for covering yourself upon entry to the religious locations. No knees or shoulders for either gender AND ladies you must also cover the hair! Our guide was fabulous is helping acquire the last minute covers on site - which is available when you get the tickets. Pictures of the full body covering alone make the excursion! :)

Istanbul - Not really worth it. The tour essentially took you to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The tour guide did provide some interesting historical information but it took almost 2.5 hours to see the two mosques. In addition it costs 25 Euro to go into the Hagia Sophia. The Grand Bazaar part of the tour was essentially walking you to the Bazaar and the tour ended. You pay $30 for about 15-20 minutes of commentary
