We had the very best private guide, ~Cemal and driver, Temal. I enjoy details very much, especially historical details and ~Cemal did not disappoint! We had a lengthy drive from Bodrum to Ephesus and it was filled with listening to informative historical and cultural background on Turkey. I feel that we know so much more about Turkey after this journey. Both ~Cemal and Temal were very sensitive and caring toward my wife who has unique travel issues. An excellent day that was significantly enhanced by two local professionals! Fantastic experience.

Cemal picked up up at the port and was very friendly and knowledgeable. The van was very comfortable. He guided us through Ephesus and gave a brilliant synopsis about the history of the archeological site. We learned a great deal about the culture of Turkey and the history. We had a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant, and learned how Turkish carpets are made. Excellent experience, highly recommended!!
