Our tour guide Ismail was very friendly and made us feel very relaxed on the tour. He took time to understand our preferences and ensure he tailored the tour and stops to suit our interests and our timescales. He was very knowledgeable and he was easy to understand- he had excellent English and he also encouraged questions. I thoroughly recommend the trip and Ismail. Ephesus was amazing. At the end of the trip we chose to visit the Government carpet weaving centre, which we all really enjoyed - it is certainly worth a visit. There was no pressure to buy and we learnt lots about this Turkish tradition.

Ismail was very knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. He obviously had a passion and love of Turkish culture, with great knowledge of both the ancient ruins we toured in Ephesus and Turkey in general. The whole family (including children) were entertained, and he allowed a deeply personalised and enjoyable experience, his guidance was instrumental in making this memory as lovely as it was.

Ismail was an amazing tour guide, he provided a concise, yet detail-filled explanation of everything around Ephesus and helped us to get in without queueing at the ticket booths. I can’t recommend him enough, he was fantastic.

The views at Ephesus were amazing, our guide Ismail was very friendly, super informative and an all around lovely guy. We had a wonderful time and benefitted hugely from his knowledge and his recommendations. We also went to a local weaving cooperative, which was beautiful and very impressive to see the process up close and the amazing products. Our trip was made better by having him as our guide and myself and my whole family would recommend him and are grateful to have had him with us for this wonderful trip. He was able to accommodate the needs and interests of our family of 6 expertly.
