We did the Ephesus day tour. Although the weather was on and off with rain, we still had a wonderful time with our excellent guide Fatima. Fatima was not only very well educated on the history behind every place we stopped to visit, she was very funny, warm and kind.

Fatima did such a great job. We’ve met quite a few guides in our short time in Türkiye and she’s the best. Highly recommended. Comfortable ride as well. Thank you!

Pugar is great, we were only in Türkiye for a short time but he managed to squeeze in everything we wanted to see, he was well spoken and you can tell he knows his stuff when it comes to the history and philosophy of the country, the tour bus is incredibly clean and the driver offers a smooth ride throughout the trip. Any questions we had were answered so you won’t be left confused anywhere you go with these guys, highly recommend 👍👍
