Such an Inspirational Journey as depicted in Acts 19!

5.00I had watched Paul's Biblical journey throughout Rome& Greece, expressly Ephesus on a program called Acts through Revelation prior to traveling to Greece! To have been blessed to physically see this Area up close & personal is credited to this Amazing Tour with our Dedicated Guide, Safak Kaygusuz. My Hubby & I were picked up at the Bodrum Port & shown to an Ultra comfortable Transport Coach. The ride to/ from Ephesus was long but we were able to catch up on our sleep! :) Safak was extremely personable & knowledgeable given the history of this Biblical Wonderland. After our tour, where we collected some awesome pics & memories, we were taken to lunch at a Women's Cooperative where you could watch Traditional carpet weaving & even purchase a Rug or two. Our Greek lunch was served in a picturesque setting & was delicious! Suchan amazing journey back in time where Paul spent the third leg of his journey -Ephesus!

5.00I joined the VIP Ephesus Tour with pick-up directly from my hotel in Bodrum, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The transfer was smooth and on time, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and the whole experience was very well organized. If you’re staying in Bodrum and want a comfortable, stress-free way to explore Ephesus, I highly recommend this tour. I was very satisfied and would definitely choose them again!

Amazing Experience – Best Tour Ever!

5.00Amazing Experience – Best Tour Ever! This was by far my favorite tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to every one of us. It was a private tour and surprisingly affordable. Although the original itinerary didn’t include a stop at the Virgin Mary’s last home, the company went above and beyond to make it happen for us — such thoughtful and flexible service. I absolutely loved Turkey and will definitely be booking future tours with this company. Highly recommended!
