Fabulous private tour of Ephesus

Excellent Guide with personalized service and an expanse of knowledge. Good pace throughout. His suggested stop for light lunch was fabulous: fresh local cuisine and the red house wine was delicious too. CENK CENGIZ meets the standard and raises the bar. We learned an incredible amount of history. He introduced us to the marvelous world of Turkish cuisine. Easy pick up from cruise port. Very convenient. Lovely Mercedes AC van

Amazing experience!

This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience for our family. The tour company could not have been any more professional, courteous and prepared - all arrangements were made well ahead of the activities and communication was very clear and prompt. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to individuals, families or groups interested in visiting many different and beautiful areas in Turkey.

Great travel experience with amazing guide

We booked this as a group of 6 girls. The itinerary was well planned out and had some great surprise stops on the way! Our tour guide Tez happily took care of every single detail. Anything we needed he helped with. He was very knowledgeable about everything Türkiye! Our favorite stop was cappadocia. The hotel was very unique. Each room was different and equally as cool as the next. We opted to do the hot air balloon ride which was even better than we expected ! This quick tour really showed you the variety of different areas. Wish we had more time! I hope to go back in the future and spend some time relaxing in Kusadasi :)

The tour guides were very knowledgeable specially Mileh who was well versed with biblical histories as well as ancient Turkish histories.Thank you Mileh, We learned a lot from you.Great job!

An amazing Tour with an amazin Tour company.

We were following in the footsteps of the biblical Apostle Paul. We visited Syrian Antioch, Tarsus, Cappadocia, Lystra, Iconium, Pisidian Antioch, Colossae, Pamukkale, Miletus, Assos and Troas over 7 days. Lots of travelling but you don’t feel it when you have a great guide and driver. Melih our guide has got to be the best ever. He was so knowledgeable and professional and adapted to our needs and pace. He took us to great restaurants with great food and it was great to be able to support local businesses. They also arranged a Hot air balloon ride and Turkish Hamman for us in Cappadocia. At the end of 7 days were already looking at the possibility of visiting Turkey again and without any doubt, we will be using Curio Travels and Ephesus Shuttles.
