The guide Oznan from the moment he picked us was the most excellent guide His knowledge and enthusiasm for Ephesus and Turkey made this an excellent experience for us all. Ephesus did not disappoint !

Stunning Ephesus

Magnificent scenery...the amphitheatre was amazing....the history was explained in a lively and interesting way...we learned a good deal stretching back 10, 000 years...we were given ample time to appreciate the site....stopping at Akyaka was a lovely contrast. Aytuk was a very good guide and Kami a very good driver....picked us up exactly on time.

If you want to have an excursion where all their wishes are fulfilled. Where they are not treated like a king but like an emperor. If you want to have an organizer who also takes care in advance that all their extras are taken into account then you choose exactly this excursion. Our guide "Saliyah" and our bus driver "Yusuf" really gave everything to offer us an indescribably great experience. Saliyah may not be able to answer all questions, but our inquisitiveness is also huge. It was really wonderful to discover the terrace houses together with her. Hardly any visitors book them here. Which is a real shame.... It's only a few euros more but shows a unique architecture. Only in these terrace houses did Saliyah not know an answer to every question Which is why hardly anyone books them. So we had a blast with her to discover everything. Even our request to visit a supermarket for cat food was very gladly fulfilled. We could decide for ourselves when and where we want lunch. Super clean toilets were controlled. Anyone who does not want to be rushed like sheep in a large group, but wants to decide for themselves what to watch for how long, should have this great experience with this provider.
