“Wow! Bilal was so informative and friendly! He was proud of his country, but humble. He shared so much information with us and his English is impeccable. He took us to a ceramics shop and rug maker (I think it's required by the government) and it felt a little high pressure to buy something, but we were prepared for this after watching several Youtube videos. Ephesus, Terrace Houses and Ephesus Experience is a must - we were so surprised at how large the excavated town was! Just Beautiful!”

“A wonderful day and a tour! We ended up being the only ones with our tour guide and driver. Our tour guide "Emri" was wonderful and full of knowleadge. We stopped first at a local artisan pottery place for a presentation and then went to Mary's House. After that we toured Ephesus. Lots of walking in a hot weather, but because it was just our family of four on the tour, things were smooth and we loved "Emri"! Thank you for a memorable day in Turkey!”
