You need to take this tour when visiting Ephesus!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was the best tour I could have ever imagined when I booked it! I had to decide between two tours and I am so glad that I ended up choosing the Private one with guide Kaya and driver Serdal! First the company kept in touch with me regarding meeting location and time. Second they said I could bring my mobility scooter! Kaya was an outstanding guide! He was so professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He had so much information about the area and history was great and the stories he shared kept me fascinating the whole time! The scenery was magnificent from Ephesus to the House of the Virgin Mary. Kaya made it so interesting and fun. Even going to the carpet school where I meet Charlie who gave me a humorous education on Turkish rugs and rug making. There was no real pressure to purchase. There was never any issues with Kaya and Serdal taking my scooter in and out of the van! I had a wonderful time and learned so much, I probably should have taken notes, but I didn't want to miss anything!!! This is a must do experience and ask for Kaya and driver Serdal!!!!
