A delightful tour on western turkey - Güfte transformed our travel across Turkey from blind chaos to a comfortable, informed, delightful experience. We not only learned so much about the Roman cities and early Christian sites, we also stopped at delightful lunch spots with cool breezes, waterfalls, roaming Turkish cats and even a mandolin player. Güfte is also very flexible, alternating stops to meet our interests (like shopping!). A total pleasure to spend our days with her!

Visit Ephesus, Pamukkale, Miletus and Priene. - Know the subject. He had patience with the boy in the group. He's very good at Spanish. He's punctual on arrival. He is prudent and serious, but with a good sense of humor.

Can’t recommend Puerto highly enough - Exceptionally friendly, efficient and reliable, both advance communication and for the tour days themselves. Deeply knowledgeable and professional guides, inspiring in their passion for the history of the area. Ephesus is great but Aphrodisias is on a different level again and it’s one decision you will not regret! Also worth mentioning this is a woman-owned business in what appears to be a very male-dominated sector, very much something to celebrate and support. You won’t be disappointed if you use this company!

Highly recommended tour with Mrs. Gufte - We just finished up today a private tour with Mrs. Gufte and it was wonderful. First day we did Ephesus and many surrounding sites and Mrs. Gufte was so nice and knowledgeable. Second day we did Priene/Miletus/Didyma (and so much more). The third day we drove to Pamukkale and saw all the sights there. There is so much more that I could write about the many special and unique things we also saw with this tour, and the wonderful food and company to really have a chance to talk to a local person and get to know her (and her nice husband). She even invited us to her home and had tea. A wonderful tour, with a special person. Please use them for any private tours in the area and you won't be disappointed--truly a special trip.

Very good private tour - We enjoyed the 3 days in Ephesus and Pamukkale. Guffte is a knowledgeable guide, who packed a lot into our tour. We were able to modify the tour according to our likes, which was great for us. Transportation was also excellent and everything was done on time and in a professional manner.
