Our Turkey experience!!

Cheryl_L, Jun 2026

This was a wonderful experience on my Husband’s Birthday. When I booked I didn’t even know we would have a private driver and our Guide Ibrahim was the best!!! We were picked up at the Cruise port in Kusadasi and Ibrahim was holding up a sign with my name on it!! We went over the Tour and I found out there was more to the trip than I planned. We enjoyed visiting St. Mary’s House and Ephesus. After visiting the Artemis Statue we were off to a Turkish lunch and they even surprised my Husband with a Cake!! Learning about the Woman’s Coop opportunity was a plus and next time I will purchase a Rug!!! Thank you again Ibrahim!!! You are the best!!! This is a experience you don’t want to miss❤️

Beware of the pushy sales pitches.

The good parts were our excellent tour guide who took great care of us, made sure that we saw everything that we wanted to see, and had great connections to get us in when lines were short. She knew the history and gave us a lot of great information. The downside was that we were taken to locations not on the tour and given high pressure sales pitches to buy rugs and leather. We did to get out of the situation.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with our guide — our guides always strive to take great care of our guests, share their deep knowledge of history, and make sure each guest experiences the highlights in the best possible way. Regarding your concern, we would like to clarify for future travelers that our tours never include mandatory shopping stops. All our itineraries are designed to focus on cultural and historical sites, and any visit to local artisan shops is always optional and at the guest’s choice. We are sorry for any misunderstanding that may have occurred during your experience. We are very glad that overall you enjoyed your tour, and we would be honored to welcome you or your friends again in the future.

Wonderful experience!

Gizam was very knowledgeable throughout the trip and went at our pace. Very friendly and professional. Our driver supplied cold water at the beginning and end of the excursion, which we really appreciated. We dropped off at a leather store and a place to try and purchase different kinds of Turkish treats and oils, but we never felt pressured to buy anything. Overall, a great time!
