“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.”

“Wonderful guide (Hazel), lots of walking/standing though. Rough terrain where you have to be very cautious. Hazel was knowledgeable and took time to connect the dots between centuries and rulers, making it all very clear!!! Only concern: We would have very much preferred not being directed to carpet salesmen.”

“Ephesus was so worthwhile. Similar to Pompeii in some respects. Derya was lovely and very knowledgeable. The House of Mary was a quick event. Afterwards we had a very tasty meal followed by an interesting tour of a carpet manufacturer. Some people requested a stop at a leather manufacturer and they gave us drinks and a fashion show while we learned about their product. A very full day.”
