Burak was an absolutely amazing guide. We were made to feel welcome and he was happy to be flexible to accommodate one of our party that had limited mobility. Great value for money, including delicious local lunch and the sites we wanted to see. Burak was knowledgeable and we learnt so much. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic tour and guide ! Burak is very knowledgable and super friendly and fun to be with
Seyhan’s communication skills and English encyclopedic knowledge about the history and culture of Ephesus was incredible! We were whisked away in a clean and plush van with a great driver right on time and were given a clear explanation of how the day would proceed. He described local history and customs in both historical and modern times. His attitude clearly showed his respect for international visitors and cultural differences. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and feel like this was one of the very best of our many Viator tours around the world.
The best tour we have ever been on! Seyhan was so knowledgeable and sensitive to our needs. We learned so much about the history and culture of Turkey as a whole and Ephesus specifically. The transportation and lunch was great. Highly recommend him as a guide!
