Exploring Ephesus with Hazel

Exploring Ephesus was extraordinary and very educational. Hazel was terrific and extremely knowledgeable about the entire site. We had a small group and she explained everything about the entire site. The recovered ruins are amazing and should be seen.

Interesting tour

We found Neslihan quite easily she was an amazing guide we learned a lot about the Turkish people the ancient city. Rug making, Turkish food, deserts and coffee.. Although, you do feel a bit pressured because you are taken to places where they will eventually try and sell you items they make or have in their store.. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Nesli.

Private tour of Ephesus with Nesli

We had a wonderful experience on our private tour of Ephesus! Our tour guide, Nesli, was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of this incredible place. She made the ancient ruins come alive with her explanations and stories, and she made the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end. The private tour format was excellent, allowing us to explore at our own pace and get the most out of our visit. Nesli went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ephesus, and if you have the opportunity to tour with Nesli, you’re in excellent hands. She made our visit truly special!

PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR FOR CRUISERS: On-time Return and Skip-Line

David_J, Oct 2026

Great experience

Where do I start! The best tour/excursion that I think we’ve ever been on, and the list is many. I did not realize the scope of, and the personalized experience of what we had booked. Our guide, Canan Aydin, met us at the port, and was more of a family member than just a tourism expert. We knew right away that we had nothing to worry about and that she would take care of us. The sights, the narrative, even the shopping, (we couldn’t help but buy an heirloom carpet at a fantastic price), and then the lunch! What a wonderful experience. Our driver was perfect as well. If you are planning a visit here, this is a must. And you should definitely ask for Canan!

Jorge_C, Oct 2026

Excellent tout

The tour was well organized and well paced. It was the perfect mix of information, pictures and beautiful sites. The driver was always on time and ready to pick us up. Our guide Ehran was attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating. Since it was a private tour it allowed for more flexibility. We especially appreciated helping us find a delicious kenefe and the intro to our new favorite dessert katmer. The recommendations for other tours and activities was also greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this tour.

This trip was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Canan, was informative right from the start. We were able to see everything we wanted to see.

We would not hesitate to recommend this tour, or the special tour guide to anyone. Thank you!

Kathy_C, Oct 2026

Awesome guide. Great tour.

Fuat was an awesome guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sights and explained what we were seeing and the history behind it so that it was easily understood. We were on a cruise and he came to the port to take us to the tram. He was very personable, easy to talk with, and very flexible with what we wanted to do and see. I would highly recommend him and this tour.

Jane_C, Sep 2026

Highly recommend this tour

Melissa from Bergin Tours was a charming, considerate and knowledgeable guide who tailored the tour to meet our needs. A truly awe-inspiring place and we were very pleased she suggested we spent 15 minutes in the virtual reality museum which really brought it alive. Very glad also to have seen the Virgin Mary’s house which had a calm, peaceful aura about it. We didn’t want to go for the lunch at the rug place and there was no issue about missing that. Definitely worth the extra cost for private guide and driver with all entrance tickets included. Highly recommend

Private Cappadocia Tour with Underground City – Tickets Included

Jackie_C, Sep 2026

Highly recommended

We spent a wonderful day with our excellent guide Oguzhan seeing amazing rock formations, the extraordinary underground city, visiting a pottery workshop and seeing the castle formed from the lava landscape. This was interspersed with the history of the region and Turkey in relation to world events. Our guide even bought us a delicious ice cream. The tour was the highlight of our trip to Turkey.

Full Day Cappadocia Tour( Red Tour + Underground City )

Maurizio_C, Aug 2026

Red tour Cappadoccia

Great way to spend a day in and around Göreme and surrounds to see and do all of the sights in one comfortable day, with everything organised for you. Our travel guide a Dunë was also so lovely and knowledgeable and very sweet and made sure everyone was well looked after. You will have to pay for lunch (which was really affordable and delicious by the way) and ticketed entry to the sights, which works well especially if with a group and some do not want to visit a particular place.

Turkey Classics 7 Day Escorted Tour from Istanbul

Jerilyn_W, May 2026

Perfect way to experience Turkey

Our multi day tour from Istanbul through the Cappadocia region was one of the highlights of our time in Türkiye. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. The real star of the trip was our guide, Turgay (Tour-guy) Yuzuak. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and geography of the region, but what made the tour special was his warm and personable style. He made everyone feel welcome, answered endless questions with patience and humor, and shared fascinating local insights that we never would have discovered on our own. The itinerary was excellent and struck a perfect balance between famous highlights and smaller local experiences. Seeing the fairy chimneys, underground cities, cave churches, and panoramic valleys of Cappadocia was unforgettable. Travel days were smooth and never felt rushed. The accommodations were also much nicer than expected, especially the cave hotel experience, which added a unique touch to the trip. The restaurants throughout the tour were another pleasant surprise. We enjoyed a wide variety of delicious Turkish dishes, and every meal felt thoughtfully chosen rather than just a tourist stop. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Cappadocia comfortably while learning deeply about the region and enjoying authentic Turkish hospitality.

Istanbul Hodjapasha Rhythm of The Dance Show

Ed_W, May 2026

I went to this a few...

I went to this a few years ago and it was better than I remembered. It’s a great venue, with all seats close. Really good dancing, which gets better as the show progresses. They have interesting costumes and cool lighting. There is a drummer for part of the show that is excellent. A fun experience.
