: We were more than satisfied with the care and time our tour guides provided in both Istanbul and Ephesus. They took us to all of the places we requested prior to our trip, even though our tour in Istanbul was longer than scheduled, our guide, Neri wanted to make sure we saw everything we had asked for. Neri (Istanbul) and Bartuk (Ephesus) were exceptional. Not only were they knowledgeable, but so friendly and accommodating. They took care in making sure we were comfortable and made sure we spent the time desired in each place we visited. -Overall, I would recommend TourofIstanbul to anyone who wants to truly spend time in each of these amazing places. Thank you for making our trip one of the most enjoyable of a lifetime. — Clarkieo T, USA
