USE THIS COMPANY & REQUEST DUYGU - We had a tour of Ephesus from Kusadasi and it was one of the best tours we have ever done. Our guide was Duygu and she was amazing!!! Her English is very good and she is so knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel really safe and welcome! She helped us understand and appreciate the places we visited. She also took us to different Turkish traditional shops which was really interesting and we really enjoyed, we also had a lovely meal together which was so good!! She really helped us understand Turkish culture and people and we appreciated our day greatly! We have made memories for a life time and are so glad we chose this company!! Worth every penny!

More than expected - I was very lucky to have Fatih as my guide. He’s very knowledgeable - he is a licensed guide and a historian as well! This Ephesus ruin is much bigger than I expected, and I’m so glad that Fatih also took me to the Experience Museum which is really “an experience”. I’m also grateful that although I was the only participant, the tour didn’t cancel it, so it feels like it’s a private tour.

Mustafa is the Best! - Amazing time with Mustafa in Turkey. Was very patient with us as we visited the House of the Virgin Mary and led us through historical parts of Ephesus all day. His background in history and tales of what makes Turkey unique made the whole trip. 10/10!
