So happy to have found this tour. As I knew we wanted to do something different when we got to Kusadasi, I came across this tour which meant I was also able to do something different in Istanbul also. Better for me the less stressing about what to do with the kids.I was hoping it wouldn't be very long days, but they were perfect, just enough time to see everything and enjoy it. The kids loved visiting Ephesus,they were amazed about how old everything was. Our guide was brilliant! Especially with the kids, he kept their interest the whole time.Spoke really good English, we all definitely learned so much from the visit, Even my partner! As he wasn't too fussed on going to see Ephesus in the first place and he enjoyed it the most out of the family. Virgin Mary house was also very enjoyable. We didn't have to wait around at all for either , it was nice as I think the kids would have gotten fed up if we had to que for long. We loved our traditional Turkish food in Sirince, the little village is stunning, the people are so nice and kind. The kids enjoyed having some space before and after food too! We then left to go Istanbul, It is also another stunning city. The kids were so impressed by all the market stalls in Istanbul, as they wanted to buy everything that caught their eye. The Mosques are so beautifully designed and kept, it was lovely to see them. The food is also amazing in Istanbul.Overall it was a tour not to be missed! Would love to visit again.
