Visit to Kusadasi - wonderful, best tour guide ever - This was fascinating particularly due to our guide, Emel. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about relaying the history and cultural tidbits. Very friendly and I would recommend her very highly. The visits to the ancient ruins took on much more significance then I would have imagined. Very interesting history and put it into perspective very well. Highly recommend!

Emel was the best tour guide - Emel was the most incredible tour guide. Her passion for history and the Turkish culture was infectious and made us feel a part our surroundings. We have been on many tours around the globe and she was by far the best experience. We felt like we were with a professor of history who was also a family member.
