Excellent day at Ephesus and Kusadasi

Excellent communication prior to the tour and answered all my many questions about meeting time and location as the day approached. (I shouldn’t have worried at all because was so smooth at the port.). Derya was a great tour guide and we were so impressed to learn of her years at university and the tour guide proficiency exam she had to pass before leading tours. She is so knowledgeable and had so many interesting stories that she shared. I’m glad we had a private driver (Matt was very safe and adept at maneuvering the crazy traffic). We were able to avoid the hundreds of cruise excursion people packed on big charter busses and went to the House of Mary first and then went to Ephesus. Derya accompanied us throughout Ephesus for a two hour personalized guided tour filled with so much information about the history. She made it super fun and kept us entertained the whole time. She asked us how we wanted to customize our tour throughout the day which was a nice option to a stiff itinerary. Highly recommend.

Fatima communicated with us an hour before the meeting time. Very easy to find the meeting point. We were able to see the sights before the crowds which was amazing. Fatima was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. Highly recommend this tour!

Princess Island (Büyükada)Tour with Lunch and Island Shuttle Trip

Lynne_H, Jun 2026

A Nourishing Day Out

We had a great day on this tour - we loved that everything from the bus pick up to the ferry and our lunch was organised for us. Hamza was a wonderful guide - knowledgable, funny, warm and very caring. The only issue we had was the shopping trip at the end of the day - it did not fit with the rest of the day. Staying longer on the island would have been a much better option. We would recommend and are grateful to Hamza for guiding us.

Bodrum Orak Island (Turkish Maldives) Boat Trip

Ivy_E, Jun 2026

Best experience on our trip!

Incredible experience! There was maybe 30 people on the boat. Two levels. Below had tables and the front of the boat where you could sit. Up top was a shaded lounge area with lots of pillows. Everyone had their own space and it didn’t feel crowded at all. The ride was beautiful and there were 4 swimming stops in the most clear water I’ve ever seen. A chicken pasta lunch was provided and it was delicious. Drinks were available to purchase on board. Overall it was the best experience of our trip! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Istanbul to Gallipoli Full Day Tour with Lunch and Transfers

Ian_H, May 2026

Gallipoli - a mecca for Aussies

This tour is a wonderful experience we have been wanting to do for many years. It is solemn and emotional and also very interesting. The only real negative is the 4hrs drive to Gallipoli from Istanbul and the return 4 hrs. Not that easy especially with everyone crammed into a van filling up every seat. The operators need to be aware that this is very uncomfortable for some. We had a comfort stop on each leg and the opportunity for a meal break at this stop. At Gallipoli we were shown around by a very knowledgeable and capable guide in Cindy. The best 4hr tour we could have hoped for. She was 1st class and made the day informative, interesting all with a guide sense of humour and reverence. A very long day but worth every minute of it.

Best private tour experience

Gökçe was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive to what mattered most to me. This was a long day, yet I never felt rushed. The tour was handled with care and flexibility throughout, with helpful guidance that made it easy to make good decisions without any pressure. Personal requests were accommodated smoothly, and the experience felt truly customized rather than scripted. If you’re looking for a private tour that adapts to you and treats the day with respect and professionalism, this is an excellent choice.
