Our tour of Ephesus and Pamukkale was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our amazing guide, Cankat, and our excellent driver, Ismail. Cankat was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of each site, but he also shared many personal and family stories that gave us a deeper understanding of Turkish culture. His storytelling made every stop more meaningful, and his warm, genuine personality made us feel like we were traveling with a friend. One of the highlights was how he brought us to restaurants frequented by locals—an experience that truly allowed us to enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine beyond the typical tourist spots. Ismail was equally impressive. He was punctual, professional, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe. His driving was smooth and reliable, allowing us to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery between stops. Together, Cankat and Ismail made our trip incredibly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we highly recommend them to anyone visiting this beautiful region of Turkey.

Travelling through Turkey may be full of long hours of travel, but we had a great time. We had good accommodations in hotels . Sites we visited were full of historical significance. Tayfun is such an engaging guide. He recommended good places to eat, helped us with finding the Turkish delights to buy. He managed our tours with efficiency making us maximize the time we spent in the places we visited. The hotel we stayed in Istanbul had a rooftop restaurant that overlooked the Haggia Soffia and the ocean. They also facilitate the reservations for the hotair balloon ride in Cappadocia. They facilitated our transfer to another hotel. I recommend this tour with Ephesus.

The tour we did with Ephesus Shuttle Private and mini group tours in Turkey, was one of the best tours we have had in our lifetime, i must admit. It was a small group of 2 families really. Everything was so well planned from the hotels to the cuisine and the sightseeings. Leyla and Gurkan, our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and at the same time very very friendly. They really cared for us and went out of their way to make our trip memorable. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank all those involved for making our trip extra special.. THANKYOU GUYS... YOU rocked.. Turkey rocked. May the almighty bless you all with His choicest blessings.. NOTE:- Leyla and Gurkan are ace photographers too.. The angles they know are just fantastic.

We had a real great small group tour in April 2023. We have been there with our kids (8 and 12 years old) and all was very well organized. The hotels were small hotels, well located and equiped. The tour guides Leyla and Gurkan were very friendly, well informed and especially with Gurkan and his driver we had a lot of fun, discussion and information through the tour. The small group tour offers a very individual form of travelling and we had great impressions from the landscape and the people all around the tour. Also for the kids Gurkan gave a lot of information and he always tried to find a programm for the adults and the kids. Time in Istanbul an this tour could be a little bit more - so we individually planned to stay two days longer in this great city. Also therefore the organisation concerning the hotel and the shuttle transfer from the company was great. So the short summary: great, great, great, well organised and I'm sure when we want to do our next trip throught Turkey we'll have a look to Curio travel again.

We went for the Turkey trip in April2023. Our guides Ms.Leyla and Mr. Gurkan were simply awesome. They became family. The tour was very well planned and cost-effective too. The hotels were top-class and very very well located i must say. The guides were extremely knowledgable and very good photographers too. I dont have enough words to thank these wonderful human beings for making our trip such a memorable one. Infact my wife and myself are actually missing them and Turkey too.. If we ever go to Turkey again, we will go with Curio travels, thats for sure.. and we will make sure that Ms.Leyla and Mr. Gurkan are with us for that trip too. Wonderful job guys.

I just want to express my gratitude for the wonderful tour around Türkiye. Everything was a delightful experience. I want to say that our guide and driver were exceptional people. Sinan Veysi is a fantastic tourist guide. His knowledge of history, art, and traditions of his country really impressed us. I am looking forward to visiting Turkey again in the future. Thanks a lot.
