Fantastic guide service - Nizam is a very friendly and knowledgeable local to the area. The food was fantastic and all the shops were nice and not overselly but rather very informative on their process whether it be pottery making, gold making, carpet making, cotton making. They gave us a tutorial of each in addition to beating the heat and skipping the lines. The food and wine were fantastic! Loved everything!

Fun and safe - Fun and enjoyable trip. Guide knew how to speak English really well. Because it is an all day event, my groups electronics needed charge and their transportation did not have USB charging capabilities unlike other tours in Turkey.

Watch out not to buy anything after Ephesus... You will get ripped off big time - Ephesus is a must. Breath taking for sure. Our guide Issam knows well the history of the place and his city.
Unfortunately, we could have had safed a lot time if not taken to different places where our tour guide made us shopping and actually have been ripped off big time. Especially on the jewelery shop after Ephesus.
We did not know the prices for Sultan stone and the jewelry shop guy along with the tour guide let us literally spend 10x the worth of it. This was very disappointing.
Same time, the wine tasting is not like one would think. It's given in shot glasses without sitting arrangements and no explanation of the wine itself. Apparently the vingard are 100 km away. Not worth the extra money..but the village itself was lovely.
