Great tour - Excellent tour, very knowledgeable and tailored it to our preferences e.g. we skipped the house of the Virgin Mary and went to a ceramics place instead, which we loved. Also loved the rug place and lunch too.

Our trip to Turkey - We did a 2 week trip in Türkiye visiting Istanbul, Kusadasi, Ephesus, Pummakale, Antalya and Cappadocia. The travel agency arranged for all the tours with tour guides, transportation transfers and flights within Turkey. Everything was immaculately organized. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and ready to answer our questions. Meltem, a representative of Turkey Istanbul Tours, was always on top of things communicating with us the plans/itinerary for the next day with exact pickup times.

Detailed and adventurous tour, did not rush us and ensured we were able to visit everything. - The tour was great! Tour guide was very polite and friendly, asking us where we wanted to visit first and if we wanted to eat. She gave very detailed explanations about the history of each landmark and did not rush us from taking photos. Overall great day!

Wonderful Experience with a Personal Tour Guide - I highly recommend this tour experience. I was easily able to book this tour online for our family group of 7 the day before our cruise ship was scheduled to arrive in the Port of Kusadasi. Our tour guide, Nadia, met us at the cruise terminal. We had our own AC minivan. Nafia is a great tour guide. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. Everyone in our group enjoyed the experience. She gave us plenty of time to take pictures. At the end of the tour, we had a nice traditional Turkish lunch that was included. Avoid the large impersonal cruise ship tours and book this one. You will thank me later.

Good tour from cruise - Very knowledgeable guide (Maltu) with a mix of history and his own experiences in the area. Quick shuttle ride to each of the locations (entry fee required as per description). Nice Turkish lunch at the carpet makers. Pick up and return to the cruise terminal.
