“TAY was a very good tour guide. Everything was as promised with added stops at a ceramic and carpet art studio. Beautiful products and very informative, as they show you how they are made. However, there is some pressure to purchase these very beautiful and expensive items. Lunch was good, was next to the carpet factory. We're given delicious cold apple tea. All in all this tour is perfect for a day trip. I do recommend this tour without hesitation. Small group of 4 with guide and driver in comfortable van.”

“A memorable day. We were picked up from our hotel punctually, by a local guide who shared information about Kusadasi itself and the countryside we drove through. He was extremely knowledgable and imparted information in a clear way. He told us that he talked too much but I would disagree - we learned lots and he really added to our experience. A good trip to Ephesus and the Virgin Mary House.”

“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!”

“The tour was fantastic, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke fantastic English. This would have easily been 5 *s, however after seeing Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis, we were taken to a fashion store selling leather jackets, plied with free drinks and had to sit through a full fashion show with models and a catwalk, attempting to sell us leather goods from their store. This was bizarre, and not something we were at all interested in - when the guide had asked if we would be interested beforehand, we had all replied that we were not bothered. This may have incorrectly been taken as a sign…”

He was very knowledgeable and had a way to customize his story telling so that the kids also found it very engaging snd interesting. He was also very patient and did not rush us at all. I highly recommend this tour and Adem specifically for your travels.”
