Fantastic!

29-Feb-2020

Ephesus is a must-visit site, and quite mind-boggling, especially considering its age!! Surprisingly well preserved too. Pamukkale's travertine and archeological sites are a wonder. The beautiful backdrop and breathtaking in its own way. Riza, our tour guide, and Burak, our driver, were an awesome duo. Very helpful, flexible, and knowledgeable... encouraged questions and answered them all. Good English, very communicative, but assertive too. I would highly recommend visiting this site with Riza.

Roro

Great service

10-Jul-2020

Visited Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Pergamum in 3 days departing from Istanbul. Transfer to the airport from our hotel in Sultanahmet was very early in the morning but the driver was on time. but our tour. We had a good flight and greeted by a guide Oscar when we reach Izmir, He tried his best to accommodate and organized the tour for us really well. All places we have been were very beautiful and we learned a lot of history. Oscar is extremely knowledgeable and filled us in with a lot of information. Highly recommend!
