Beautiful tour with an excellent guidekurhekarshantanu
Excellent tour with a very very good guide (Tayfun or Tay). Tay was very knowledgeable and told us engaging stories about history and archaeology. Even our kids were attentive as he told the stories in a fun way. He did not rush us anywhere and was very helpful in suggesting the right itinerary. The places are indeed beautiful - Ephesus and Hierapolis are dripping with history, while Pamukkale has an otherworldly beauty! Totally recommend doing the private tour and ask for Tay.
Amazing experience ans great stop and our guide had a lot of information. Recommend it highly and Isik was very good.poog0814
The tour was amazing . Isik was very informative and helpful . We had enough time to explore the sites and take a lot of pictures. She is a great guide .
The tour was excellent! Ishik was very knowledgeable. First we went to see Travertine, then we went to see the ancient roman ruins. Excellent lunch and took us even textile shop for shopping at the end of our tour!
History buffs and Bible readers you must see Ephesus!scurtp
Ali, our guide, had very good knowledge of the history of Ephesus both from a secular and biblical perspective. It is amazing to see so vividly the things the Apostle Paul wrote about were real - involving real people and culture, real customs and beliefs. It supports the authenticity of the biblical accounts. I would highly recommend the tour. Ephesus is so amazingly well preserved. Nothing else like it.

Nice, knowledgeable and interesting. We’ve enjoyed our private day tour in Ephesus and Pamukkale with our guide Mert. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly, gave us a fantastic day experience in wonderful Ephesus and Pamukkale.
Thank you Mert for the wonderful experience that we had.
We had a great time. Great guide Riza and driver. Ephesus is beautiful and so interesting. We learned a lot about history and you can really feel how it used to be the Roman life 2,000 years ago. Pamukkale is also beautiful. Thank you!

My partner and I had the most wonderful day! Our tour guide Gurkan was super knowledgeable, personable, welcoming and fun. Definitely the best tour guide we have ever had! Our driver Zafer was awesome as well, he was a great driver and really lovely. It was so awesome to meet them both (: We had limited time in Izmir and it was really awesome being able to see all these sights in one day. Plus the vehicle was very comfortable. Highly recommend!
Riza and Huseyin were amazing they took care of us in every way and explained all the history of the area. The safety of the driving was amazing and very comfortable. I am a very picky traveler and I 100% recommend.

Great time in ephesus and PamukkaleTime4Leisure
Sep 14, 2021, 10:39:04 AM First of all it was a long day but a worth it trip to cover both Ephesus and.Pamukkale since our group had a limited time visiting izmir. The company Tour Altinkum set up everything for us. Thank you. Our guide Gurkan was an excellent guide giving us his expertise with history overall of the places we visited. His knowledge was amazing. Thanking the company for assigning him for our group from California ❤👍🌏 Overall it was a great and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend this trip if you have limited time and pick tour altinkum since they were so patiently arranging and placing all the effort to make this visit a wonderful one
Very informative tour and great sights to be had! However, i do not recommend this during the summer due to high temperatures. I’d imagine this is much better during the fall/autumn

It is recommended to visit Kore-dera Temple in Pammukkale. You have to see this amazing landscape, the beauty of the entire site and the collaboration with the hot springs. Thanks to our guide Arzu for the meaningful tour.
