Amazing Experience!! - Thanks to Puerto Tours for this amazing experience. Gupte and Ahmet are great couple with lot of patience and compassion. They guided us well and took us even for shopping at Parmukale. We had the most beautiful experience at cleopatra pools and terventines. Had the best meals at the restaurants. Our trip to Euphesus was most memorable. Learnt about the origination of the word "hygiene ". At the end of the tour they were kind enough to drop us at the Airport in izmir to connect to our next destination. Ahmet was unwell that day but yet he took utmost care of us . Thank you Ahmet and God bless!! I would recommend this to everyone. Regards Dolrich Fernandes

Not happy - Tour guide did not kept the tour itinerary. Take us to some tourist trap, not detail on tour and due to time where not able to visit the most important stop, the Ephesus ruins. Upon tour confirmation, they mention that entre fee was not included, but never mention how much where they at the different schedule stops.
