Our guide was outstanding. He was well-versed in and enthusiastic about history. He was familiar with every event and knew the names of all the heroes who fought in the conflicts. He knew much more about the history of this old city. His knowledge of history and command of the English language made for more than just a 'programmed' tour. The food and accomodation were also excellent. Thank you for your warmth and professionalism.Show more

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality. The historical sites in Canakkale, Troy, and Ephesus were beyond impressive. We especially enjoyed Kusadasi, with its beautiful atmosphere. The mezes, dolma, manti and rakı were delightful and we had many memorable meals. Our guide Hulya was excellent, providing just the right amount of information without overwhelming us. A special shoutout to our driver mister Hamza, who made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.Show more
