This was our second trip to Ephesus And we were not disappointed. Our guide was on time, friendly, helpful, and realized our limited abilities as seniors. We would recommend him highly.

My family and I just returned from a trip of Turkey and by far it was my favourite. I'm so glad that we selected Best of Turkey Tour. Gizem was very helpful in getting me organised for my trip to Turkey. She made sure that I had smooth trip and she arranged everything so nicely, English-speaking guides, the best flights, best resturants and great hotels . It was so amazing to visit this country with her help. Kudos to her and her whole team. I would highly recommend everyone to get their trip planed from them.

I booked a tour for my group of 9 to see the Best of Ephesus. Our guide Necdet really catered to our needs and made our tour memorable and fun. He was able to provide us great information and insight into what we were seeing or going to see. Necdet was knowledgeable and passionate about Ephesus and the historical sites. His knowledge of Turkey in general was on point and interesting. Had an overall amazing experience. Thanks Necdet! Will definitely visit Turkey again!
