“The tour was amazing! The company organized everything and everyone was on time. We had no difficulty finding our guide tour once we arrived to Izmir and the transfers to and from the airport were all on time. Our guide was amazing, his name was Mr. Zafer Bozoglu and he shared with us a lot of information about Ephesus and what is known about the House of Virgin Mary. We loved seeing all the cats at Ephesus. Our lunch was awesome, was a local place with home made food. We loved this experience and we recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about ancient places.”

“Really enjoyed our tour! Plus it was a great value. Ahmet, our tour guide, was great : The places we saw were fantastic! We took someone's advice from a previous review about flying back to Istanbul instead of taking the bus back because it was mostly a travel day, like 9-10 hours, and we're glad we did. Got a cheap flight and got another full day in Istanbul. Definitely recommend this tour. Rebecca R,”

Perdemos muito tempo no aeroporto com passagem Capadócia para Kusadase, pois não foi um voo direto tivemos que passar por Istambul. A volta para Istambul também foi bem cansativa, pois ficamos três horas no aeroporto esperando o voo.”
