An absolutely exceptional day. We booked the private tour for our group of 6 people. Our guide Seda is what made the experience so memorable. We contacted her early on and she was able t0 customize the day to our desires. We toured Ephesus, the ruins, Mars Hill and listened to her complete grasp of the history. She was engaging and captivating with how she communicated the stories. What was particularly helpful was how she was able to describe how things happened and give valuable insights. We then toured a Persian Rug manufacturer where we tasted some Turkish apple tea, learned how the rugs were made, where the materials came from, who created patterns and what impacts the price. After the rug tour, we were treated to a wonderful Turkish lunch where we got a history lesson on the different empires which controlled the political, religious and social history of the region. Seda also answered our seemingly endless questions regarding current conflicts and cultural concerns impacting al religions of the region. It was fabulous. Following, we toured a pottery manufacturer where we saw a demonstration of a master potter throwing a vessel with matching lid from scratch on a kick wheel. It was remarkable. Seda designed the day with our input and tweaked the details to give us the most customized experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company, and especially Seda as the premier tour guide for Ephesus Port Tours.
Burak was a very informative and considerate guide, not rushed at all, well did exactly what we wanted to do.
