We had a great day trip from Istanbul to Ephesus. Tour4Turkey did an excellent job, arranged pick up at our Hotel, booked the flights, made sure that we had a driver and provided us with an excellent private tour guide. Since we are particularly interested in history, Selim from Tour4Turkey tailored made the itinerary for us to what we liked. Yavuz our tour guide, made the history come back to life and also treated us to an authentic Turkish lunch under trees in the country side. A truly memorable trip !!!

Gul did a fantastic job of giving us an overview of Ephesus on a very hot day. We made other stops and visited a Turkish village and had coffee and lunch. Gul is very articulate and you feel as if you know Turkey a bit better. We were lucky that access to Ephesus just opened this past Spring.
