Erman was an amazing guide! He was incredibly kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable about every part of our tour. We learned so much and had such a great experience. Our driver also made us feel very safe throughout the trip. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly — we had an absolutely wonderful time! Thank you Erman

An Unforgettable Turkish Experience!
Today was by far the best tour we’ve ever done! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the perfect mix of history and hands-on experiences with our amazing tour guide, Fatih. It was definitely a tour we will always remember. It was fantastic value for money, and we loved being able to go with the flow without ever feeling rushed. Fatih was knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience so enjoyable.I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Turkey. An unforgettable experience from start to finish! 🇹🇷✨

It was a great experience and we had a very fun and well-informed guide with us. This whole trip was worth it considering it was a 3 hour ride one-way from our hotel, included most admission tickets and a nice buffet lunch. Highly recommend!

WOW….What a fantastic guide and tour. Turkan (sorry couldn’t get the u right in your name) was really lovely and certainly bought the history of Istanbul alive. This was more like going out with a wonderful friend than a guide. We had a great day touring old Istanbul. T (as she asked us to call her) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She showed us around her wonderful city and made time for us to stop and take loads of photos. Also I required a specific shop and she took me to one and interpreted for me. I wish to thank you for making this day one that stands out on our vacation. Thank you. Thank you and again Thank you Highly recommend Tūrkan as a guide and Shore Excursions as the tour company to use.

Learn about St. John
You will visit sites important and relevant to St. John, about his preaching and sharing the gospel, and see the ruins and excavation sites that further help us understand the context of his ministry. You’ll also get a Turkish lunch at a local venue and, with luck, see artisans creating masterful rugs.Elif is a wonderful woman and knowledgeable guide who will make this a day to remember.

Best way to see Epheses
Best way to see Ephesus when on a cruise. We were picked up right at the cruise terminal and driven to the entrance of each site. The vehicle was large, roomy and comfortable. No extra walking. Gigi was our guide. She was knowledgeable and personable and kept us ahead of the crowds. This made the experience even better. The lunch that was included as excellent. Would recommend this tour for any couple or small group.

Thoroughly enjoyed our very small group, seeing the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. Our guide Bariş was very knowledgeable and friendly . He even showed us the James Bond movie clip that was filmed years ago in the Cistern!! Highly recommended, especially the earlier time, as the queues were very long later .
