This was an excellent tour with Ceyda. She was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour of Ephesus was amazing. A real highlight. The best of our entire trip. The lunch was delicious. The rug coop was very interesting and not high pressure which we appreciated.
Excellent value for money . Brilliant trip with a very knowledgeable tour guide nothing too much trouble for him
Thanks to Ceyda we had an incredible day. We arrived before the crowds, to experience Ephesus while it was quiet. The tour was private, so it was customizable to our interests. Of course Ephesus was a hard act to follow! Thanks Ceyda!
Melis is a kind and knowledgeable tour guide and I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking to experience Turkey. She tailored our visit to Kuşadası to our interests and always made sure that our questions were answered. I particularly appreciated that she prepped us before we entered touristy areas and let us know that people would be trying to sell us stuff! 10/10 and will be reserving another tour with Melis if I am ever back in Turkey.
Melis was SO knowledgeable about Ephesus and Turkey and was so friendly and warm. We had a great time with her and would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to learn more about Turkish culture and experiences!
This was I would years 10 and I will say this was the best Trip of my Life and I will never forget this Trip as This Trip will be mine Favourite ever and Thanks again Bergin Tours and That Will always be my favourite as well Happy to see you again guys!!!
Best tour we have taken on our 12 day cruise. Ephesus is magical and we had the best guide ever ! Cem! Be sure to ask for him when you book. Oh, and forget cruise excursions and book a private tour; it was so much better with just our group than being with a large group. Cem was knowledgeable, personable, and catered to our every whim! The tour even included a delicious lunch in a beautiful grove of trees! And a Mercedes van to transport us everywhere!
We were picked up on time by our guide. Ephesus was one of the best preserved sites i ever saw. We were 2 hours in ephesus and i enjoyed every moment. Thanks again to our guide erdem again for the wonderful day.
We were a group of 3 couples who arrived to find our guide Erdem waiting for us at the Kusadasi cruise port. Erdem brought us to a large, modern small bus with our sweet driver. We headed to Esephus and began our tour. Erdem was knowledgeable and considerate. Once we left Ephasus we were taken to an amazing place for lunch where we enjoyed delicious local authentic dishes in an outdoor shaded garden. We were treated with warmth and hospitality! We were then given some options and chose a local traditional pottery shop.The people we met were also very considerate and charming. We were offered apple tea and watched artisans at work. We were relieved our hosts were kind and not pushy salespeople! Loved our day with Erdem! The port area was clean and modern, people were welcoming and friendly. We felt safe and relaxed at all times throughout the tour. Definitely recommend this tour to any visitors.
Guide, Gul Demir, and driver, Onur, met me just as I stepped out of the cruise terminal. Gul escorted me to the waiting luxury vehicle with cold water bottles. Much of the tour was on very uneven surfaces and at my age of 77, I needed to take it slow, and Gul was very considerate and accommodating. She would take my arm when needed to help me along. We visited the site at my pace and Gul was very knowledgeable. Afterward they took me to lunch at a lovely, off-the-beaten path restaurant with a tree-canopied outdoor dining patio and delicious, authentic, local cuisine. The best tour imaginable.
We visited the Temple of Artemis, the Ancient City of Ephesus, and the Mother House of Mary with our guide. Very nice, informative tour.
