- Y6693AGchristinac0 contributionsAn experience of Ancient WonderOur private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days. On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own. The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable. On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose's favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour. We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse. The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you'd be in love. Just not my thing. House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us. The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before. Overall we rate this tour very highly And our tour guide Rose all the praise in the world Thank you for having usWritten August 27, 2023

Great long day but worth every minute. Guide Mehmet was excellent, relaxed and just flat-out knowledgeable. We started at 4:30 am and back at our ARBNB by 10:00(would have been home earlier but we waited on our transportation from the airport). Regardless of the long day, we were able to fit in quite a bit of sites. Also went to a Turkish carpet making (no pressure to buy), a leather/fashion show and gourmet shop for goods. We paid our entrance fees, but I knew that going into the tour. Also, got some great pictures from our guide. Just book it!
