A wonderful guide!

Dicle was a magnificent guide for all of Ephesus! The tour was supposed to take 4 to 6 hours and it took us 8 hours! Ephesus, the Basilica of St. John, the House of Mary, the carpets and the leather! I highly recommend her!

We had the best guide who had a lot of knowledge. We really enjoyed it! We did however not appreciate the stop at the carpet shop… They had beautiful carpets but not something I budgeted for or wanted.

SCAM

We paid the amount in full before our cruise debarked. The company stated our name would be on a card outside. It was not. It also stated it would pick us up at 7am. When I called, I was told to wait at the Starbucks… a 5 minute walk. The lady showed up at 740am. From there she kept stating we were “rushed” to the sites. We cut our time short and didn’t do the carpet presentation. This was later turned into “that’s where we would have fed you” when we stated lunch wasn’t provided as shown in the trip. We went to all the sites and were provided a brief overview. Not very indept but it was okay. We were dropped back off at our ship. Before we boarded, the lady came running saying we owed 220 euro for the entrance fees. We pulled up the booking and although it does state “entrance fees” for 1 location, it was not for 220 euro. Additionally, she wouldn’t take no for an answer and told security not to let us through without paying. We firmly believe this is a scam company and do not recommend it to anyone!! Pay the extra for other companies who work with the cruise.
