5.00While not on a cruise we drove to Ephesus and met our guide Babur (aka Indiana Jones) for a private all day tour of Ephesus. We had a wonderful time and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. As a history major in college I wanted someone fluent in English who knew history and could answer questions on matters not generally covered in tours. Babur met the challenge time and time again. Great time. Highly recommend the all-day private tour which included a lovely lunch
Excellent day trip to Ephesus

Superb Adaptation to Interests of Group

5.00Guide was excellent! He tailored the tour to our interests in archaeology and history, as well as the history of archaeology in the 19th and 20th centuries, yet he recognized we had a teen with us who had no interest in history and Cinhat found ways to make it engaging for her. He was even able to switch up things to allow the teen to take a zip line before going through a local village with fruit wines and lovely pumpkin flowers filled with rice, a local delicacy. His versatility to match the varied interests of the members of our family made it worth it! Highly recommended for his ability to adapt to new people with different interests and flexibility to go with the flow! This flexibility would be ideal for any group!

5.00We had the most amazing day visiting all of the main attractions around Kusadasi! Nora was the best tour guide, so easy to speak to and shared an abundance of historical facts with us. We learned so much throughout the day and I have to say, it was my favourite day of the whole holiday. We highly recommend this tour and especially Nora! Thank you so much for the best day.
Arzu is a great guide!
