Very knowledgeable and friendly Guide

Lydia_J, Jul 2025
Kusadasi stole my heart. We had a late booking but he took us in with an extra charge . He’s very friendly and knowledgeable of the tour. It’s worthy your money. Will go back again .

Cruise to Ephesus

Gretchen_B, Jul 2025
Devran is the absolute best. He and the driver made sure we were in good hands, got to sites at the best possible times, provided the most refreshing water and made sure we had the best photos. We learned so much and would recommend for anyone interested in Christian or Muslim history/culture. Devran provided the best insights. The tour allowed us to experience the rug and pottery schools/industry. The lunch was one to write home about. They were incredibly time conscious to make sure we didn't miss our ship. Highly recommend.

Amazing Tour
