Words cannot express how pleasantly surprised we were by this tour. Our guide, Adem and our driver were absolutely exceptional. This tour was the highlight of our entire trip. We were picked up from the cruise port and taken in an air conditioned van to Ephesus. Adem was super knowledgeable and did an excellent job catering to our interests. It was a lot of walking for the older folks in our group but Adem was patient, went at a perfect pace, and allowed us plenty of breaks. We loved the visit to the pottery, village, and rug place. His knowledge and expertise were unrivaled- a true storyteller! We fell in love with this country through his descriptions and information. Highly recommend!
