Yavuz, our tour guide exceeded our expectations of a private tour with all his knowledge, professionalism and great attitude. The lunch served was excellent and van that took us around was very comfortable.

We all had a wonderful time. Our guide Iskender (Alex) and driver Ferit were terrific and friendly. Iskender was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights. We loved that fact that the tour was private, it gave us the opportunity to spend as much or as little time in a specific location as we wanted. We all recommend this tour company and Iskender!

I think the tour should be called half day tour to Virgin Mary and Ephesus and half day tour to their affiliated shopping shops. I don’t think it’s worth it at all. I felt we were not given enough time to go around ancient Ephesus.. I’ve noticed in Ephesus, we saw other tour groups taking their time to go around the area. There’s no doubt the tour guide was knowledgeable but we felt we didn’t cover a lot of areas that we wanted to see. Instead, they spend more time in taking us to different shops (ceramics, carpets and leather) and since we already refused to purchase anything to the first two shops and realizing what we had to deal with just to get out of the shop, we requested to go home instead but they still insisted and drove us to the last shop which was the leather shop. Since it was just me and my mother in the tour, we had no choice. I ended up buying a 350 US dollars Knock off Burberry leather jacket (which was the cheapest one we can find in the store) so I can get out of the leather shop since the owner/ manager was demanding us do a purchase. They made us feel intimidated that we cannot get back to our tour van where they kept our luggages if we won’t even purchase one item from the store. After the leather shop, the tour guide left us and the driver took us back to our hotel. So be warned, if u want to go shopping, this is the best tour for you, if you want history, just expect less so you won’t get disappointed like we did
