A good guide makes all the difference - Hold on to your hats everybody as I am about to state the obvious. "A GOOD GUIDE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE". We first visited Ephesus and its associated attractions in 2019 and left confused and frustrated due to our guides complete inability to relate to anyone without a Masters in ancient history. Fast forward to today for the do over. We were picked up on time by the team from Puerto Travel. Gufte was our guide and Askin was our driver. We give them both 12 out of 10. Askin has a beautifully clean vehicle and was a very safe driver. Gufte was an amazing guide who had great language skills and could put all the relevant information into an easy to understand commentary, something our previous guide could not do. The day started with a visit to the house of the Virgin Mary and proceeded on to the city of Ephesus. We then had lunch at a lovely rustic cafe (try the gozlemes) and proceeded on to the Temple of Artemis. You can choose to visit leather, turkish delight or carpet outlets on the way (the carpet one was really interesting). We were returned to our hotel with a new found appreciation of these sites thanks to Gufte. A big special thank you from us to Gufte, Askin and everyone at Puerto travel for a great day😄😄
