A trip which could have been great but for the classic tourist traps

Our Guide and van were very good. What took away from the experience was the suggested optional visits to the leather & rug factories. The former was a classic "Tourist Trap", while the latter we were told was supported by the Turkish government and run as a Co-op. It did not seem to be any of this and the lunch provided here seemed to be an inducement for travel agents to bring potential clients to the factory. We could have had a much better & authentic Turkish meal in the city. There were barely any vegetarian mains besides some beans & couscous.

Ephesus tour

Tour and guide were very good. Downside was and unexpected/forced stop at a leather factory. Everyone in our group thought it was inapropriate. The +/- 45 minutes spent there could have been used to visit the historical sites longer.

10/10! A MUST DO!

Our tour experience was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, Inan , was very friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Ephesus is full of incredible wonders! Our driver was very accommodating and his van was clean, comfortable, air conditioned and well equipped with a fridge full of water. I would highly recommend this tour.

Inan our Guide was great

Our guide, Inan, took us on a private tour. His knowledge of the area was great and he catered the information to our four children to make it more exciting. He took us to local shops and we avoided some tourist traps. I enjoyed this experience way more than I would have expected!

Inan was a fantastic guide!

Inan was a fantastic guide showing us around Kusadasi and Ephesus. We had a very large group and Inan adjusted the tour to add time where we wanted and cut short other areas some of the group wanted to (it was a very hot day so some of the group wanted to avoid the longer walks in the sun). The amount of information he shared was perfect, you can tell how much he loved and is proud of his country. Will absolutely try to book with Inan for our next trip to Turkey!
