Ephesus tour - This excursion was definitely one of my favorites. Erdem was a absolutely amazing guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm made Ephesus come alive. It was also lovely to meet Garfield of Ephesus. It was terrific to learn how much the tour guides watch after the cats. We enjoyed lunch and the rug makers as well as the pottery makers, Turkish delight store and the wine tasting. All in all an awesome tour experience.

Worth the time - Erdem was my tour guide. He took our group of three around Ephesus, a rug making demonstration and a wine tasting. Erdem was very professional and very knowledgeable. He was always pleasant and very kind. I would highly recommend touring with him. He made sure you were well taken care of and comfortable. There was no pressure to purchase anything. The meal was scrumptious!! His kind way of explaining the different cultures and customs was greatly appreciated.

Top day! - The tour was very interesting and varied. The guide had a lot of knowledge and thought it was important to align well with the needs of the participants. He clearly indicated in advance how the planning was and what we could expect from the day. Our 2 small children were also quick to love him. Had a great day. He speaks English, Turkish and Flemish.

Erdem, THE tour guide for the day trip to Ephesus. - We went on a day trip to Ephesus. What a wonderful trip. This was mainly due to Erdem. He knew so much, he could tell very interesting stories that kept you interested. His personal stories in between were also nice to hear. Especially his connection with the different cats.
If you meet this person as a guide , you are guaranteed a top day.
