I love it. I have enjoyed the tour. It was well planned. Our guide Jayda is good at it. She knows her job well, and she knows how to translate history to modern times.
It was a lovely experience visiting Ephesus and Pamukkale with Ceyda our tour guide, her indepth knowledge, charm and kindness was phenomenal. Ephesus is a must visit, especially those who love history and love to understand the theory of the past world. Pamukkale is a heartwarming experience and the thermal pools are lovely to see as well as dip oneselves in. Food- the restaurant in Ephesus was a lovely buffet with loads of options and very tasty food and had clean toilets. Unfortunately the food offered in Pamukkale was extremely poor and the toilets lacked toilet seat and even toilet paper, which was shocking. Overall I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Turkey especially as Ceyda is a ausome tour guide who will go above and beyond for ones needs and happiness.
Adam thanks for a great day filled with information delivered in a very appropriate & professional manner yet your knowledge held our attention & was never dull or boring. Thanks again
