5.00We have the privilage to learn from Mithat, our tour guide on the history of Ephesus and Istanbul. He is so knowledgable and insightful: from history, art, religion, architecture, archeology. He answered all our questions like professor! End of the tour, he still gives us the suggestions on vineyard and our next destination. The complimentary lunch was tasty and the whole tour is really worth for the value. Thank you Suzen for arranging such a wonderful guide for us! Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank u all once again!
