Sloppy flight booking

LIONEL_C, Aug 2024
The operator failed to book our return flight with the outgoing flight and we got a late return flight to Istanbul unless we agreed to pay extra to change to an earlier flight.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

very sad to read your misleading review we have booked and inform you by e mail and whats app conversations and return flights and you were happy with the all timings untill you feel tired on the tour and wanted to fly earlier as you had another flight next day at 03.00 am we can share all the conversations with you if you do not remember as you have booked many other tours, it is impossible to forget the flight booking for us.

Inspiring, Spiritual Experience

Our tour guide was very educated and knowledgeable. I would definitely use his services again. The House of the Virgin Mary was a very spiritual experience. Ephesus ruins was very educational

Highlight of our trip to Turkey!

shannon_b, Sep 2023
Great communication, prompt replies to any questions I had regarding tour. Tour guide was helpful, clear, informative and easy to get on with. Was great having our own private guide who also gave us time on our own to explore. Lunch was delicious and relaxed. The day was very long, and we would have liked an earlier flight back to istanbul. But overall a fantastic day! And will recommend to fellow travellers.

Very interesting

Juancho_V, May 2023
If you are a history buff, this tour is for you. It’s so wonderful to learn all about the story behind all those Ephesus ruins. The tour guide (Selda) is so knowledgeable explaining all the details about the subjects.
