“My mother and I took this tour as a shore excursion during our Mediterranean cruise. It was high on our list and we were very excited as it was also a part of small scale pilgrimage as we concentrated our experiences on those with a religious background. There were parts of the tour that were absolute highlights and some that were downright bad. So overall, an average/meh score. The sights were on the absolute must do, highlights. Although the first stop was quick, the last home of Mary was peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed it. The second was Ephesus, and it was fascinating. Lots to take in, from both a…”

“We traveled with a family group with ages 84-15yo. Our tour guide, Emry was excellent, pleasant, funny, knowledgeable. Emry made sure we had time for bathroom breaks & time in the shade ( as it was a very hot day). Emry customized our tour for our needs. At the end of our tour, Emry recommended a traditional Turkish dessert, which we all tried & loved! We loved Emry & we all definitely want to go back to Turkey & spend more time exploring !”

“We had a great tour. We were the only people to book so we had a private tour. Our guide Mehmet used the opportunity to show us everything and in great detail. It would not have been possible with a larger group. When I asked about going to the St John Basilica he said it wasn’t on the itinerary (despite that it is clearly listed in the tour title). He said it wasn’t a problem to go there and we needed to pay to go inside. The Isa Bey mosque is closed for renovation so we only saw it at a distance from the St John Basilica. On the tour…”

“Lovely guide, wonderful Ephesus tour. Great lunch. Then stuck in an awkward situation with a high pressure salesman of carpets when we expressed no interest whatsoever in carpets and carpets had nothing to do with what was mentioned in the tour offer. Lost trust in company. Official tour from our ship also visited carpet factory (perhaps same one?) and passengers were ripping mad when back at ship at experience they felt destroyed their day. All felt abused as precious hours in port wasted on sales pitch for something they didn't want.”
