This was the perfect tour if you only have a day in Kusadasi. Melis is the best! You get a good exposure to Turkish culture (like rug making and local food) and ancient history. She is so knowledgeable and gave us helpful tips for the rest of our stay in Kusadasi. Thank you Melis!

Met Melis on time in Kusadasi port. Her passion for her country's tradition and culture was admirable and by the end of our trip we learned a great deal about her country's history and even learned a few Turkish phrases. The tour of Ephesus and the house of the virgin Mary was brilliant and Melis explained everything in great detail and her extensive knowledge on this subject was admirable. We then had a great lunch and then we had a demonstration on rug weaving and how passionate they are on their rug weaving tradition. We will definitely return to Turkey because of Melis passion when speaking of her country's tradition and history. We would highly recommend Melis as your tour guide and when we return to Turkey again for a holiday we will specifically ask for Melis as our tour guide. Melis is a wonderful warm and friendly tour guide and did everything possible to make our tour unforgettable and her country should be proud of her for delivering a brilliant presentation on Turkey's history and traditions.

After travelling through Greece and Türkiye, and doing numerous guided tours through historical sites, Melis has stood out as the best guide we’ve had. Her fluent English coupled with her extensive knowledge ensured that our whole family had an amazing day.

My mom and I had the pleasure of learning everything we needed to know about Ephesus, Turkey, and a lot of things in between from our guide, Ibrahim! We had a great time with him and Eda. We really did learn so much! Every question we had, if we had one, was answered, and then some. We had a great lunch and got to do a lot of shopping! We highly recommend this tour. It was informative, fun, and so cool to see all the sites of Ephesus.
