Mustafa, guide and Mert, driver were professional and knowledgeable making our day in Turkey so special! Mustafs knowledge of Ephesus was phenomenal and his ability to tell the stories was engaging and interesting. We truly learned a lot and walked away with an expanded world view. Lunch was a delight of traditional Turkish dishes (super reasonable, too).
An unforgettable experience.

Mustafa was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge. He explained all the history and made it easy to understand. He was very alert to our needs and made sure we made it back to the cruise ship in plenty of time. Our driver Mert was kind and we felt safe with his driving. Thanks to both of you for helping us make a great memory.
