Best Trip Ever! We had the best time ever. Highly recommend Riza. He was very good with explaining the history, the culture and tradition at every place we went to. Our driver was Burak who was also very friendly. If you are planning to go with family would highly recommend Riza and Burak. He took us to Ephasus city and explained very well. It made us feel like we were living in their times. They took us to a beautiful restaurant for an open buffet lunch. we also visited the pottery making with beautiful exhibit of their works, turkish carpet making, a fashion show of pure goat’s leather jacket where we can shop too. Our child thoroughly enjoyed the trip thanks to them!MiAmy1719

Best of Ephesus Skip-The-Line Tour from Kusadasi Port July 2023 Best tour ever with Riza as our guide (by Tour Altinkum)! Initially, my family of 18 was hesitant to take the tour fearing danger in Turkey and price of getting Turkey visa. However Riza assured us that Turkey was safe and visa was NOT needed by cruise ship guests. So I coaxed them to come. We decided not to get Celebrity ship’s Turkey shore tour because their price was exorbitant! I used Tripadvisor and luckily got Riza who arranged for our private tour in a very comfortable Mercedes Sprinter, and a very safe driver. We were all impressed by Riza’s impeccable knowledge, professionalism, and his equally great sense of humour was loved by our young adult sons, and 2 teens, who enjoyed the tour because of him. BE SURE to REQUEST for RIZA when you go, and you’ll be getting the best tour in your cruise. Ephesus became grander because we had a great Tour Guide Riza. Thank you Riza! Thanks Tripadvisor!Nicole_G
