If you love history, art, culture, and the ancient world I encourage you to purchase this amazing tour. Seyhan is the best tour guide in the world! He has infinite knowledge of Turkey’s history. Group tours are small, allowing for you to ask plenty of questions and transportation is extremely comfortable and air conditioned. I was thoroughly impressed by Seyhan’s professionalism, compassion and knowledge. He showed us all of the perfect places to take pictures, we were able to beat the crowds, and really was able to give us a peak at real Turkish culture including foods, beauty products, and pottery. We were able to see the ancient city of Ephesus, the temple of Artemis, and the house of The Virgin Mary. I am so happy to have gotten the tour of ephesus with Seyhan, because he offered a wealth of knowledge about all of these attractions, much more than other tours and much more information than is available using the digital audio guides. I find many tour guides will bring you to souviner shops with cheap items or encourage you to buy things at specific stores. Seyhan simply brought us to watch local pottery demonstrations and offered other demonstrations as well such as carpet and leather. In no way did I feel pressured to buy anything, however, I am grateful to have seen authentic Turkish art be made! In addition, lunch was included in our tour, it was a beautiful spread of authentic turkish food with options for everyone! Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable for the entirety of our trip, Seyhan was sure to find some shady spots to rest, help us not get ripped off, haggle when appropriate, and provided a lot of flexibility throughout our day so we didn’t feel rushed. Overall, I learned a wealth of information thanks to Seyhan, and due to his hospitality I will certainly book with this agency again when I return to Turkey in the near future. Please don’t look anywhere else, I fear you may be disappointed if you don’t book this trip because no one else looked as happy as us! In addition, Seyhan took some really lovely pictures of us at the attractions!

I had a wonderful time trip in Turkey. I went to Pamukale + Hierapolis and to Ephesus. Both places are divine. Pamukale it was amazing for the beauty of the cotton castle and by the antique pool. Ephesus we just loved because all history of the city. We had never seen such historical place. Excelente theater, a lot of evidences from ancient city and our Guide Seyhan was also amazing. Gave us a lot of information from the touristic points and also many advices from Turkey ande Greece. I would strongly recommend this trip.

De langdurige rit naar je bestemming met mooie plaatsen dat je onderweg tegenkomt maakt je reis gezelliger. Voldoende tijd gekregen om foto's te nemen, zonder uitleg om plaatsen te zien. Uitleg was kort en krachtig en onze gids (Seyhan) maakte gesprekken met ons waardoor het hele groep enorm leuk vond. Onze lunch was in Tugba restaurant en extreem welverdiend. Zeer goede plaats voor alle soorten mensen zoals vlees liefhebbers of vegetariërs. Naar het einde toe kreeg iedereen ijskoude flesje water waar iedereen weer hersteld was geworden door schijnende zon.

Good tour guide (Seyhun) from castle travel and he pickup us from Kusadasi (4 person) on time 7:30A and drove us to the site. It was a risk move because the we have to be back on cruise before 6P, however, we did get back in time. We did enjoy the trip and lunch is Ok, the winery tour is not in our schedule and it just waste our time to go because we really no into the alcohol. Highly recommended for the cruise ship tourist to see UNESCO site Pamukkale and Hierapolis.

Excellent tour guide, fun trip. I enjoyed the history of Hierapolis and the natural warm springs. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The cleopatra pool is a must. I felt rejuvenated after I swam for an hour. I highly recommend Harum as a guide as I do recommend his company.

We took the Ephesus tour with Seyhan as our tour guide and it was an exceptional experience to say the least. The tour covered all aspects of the ancient Ephesus city and more with Seyhan being a fabulous tour guide and friend across the tour. Highly recommended.
