Abraham & driver Gangas were wonderful!! We had a thorough tour of Ephesus ruins with knowledgeable insight & wonderful farm fresh lunch after. Even though my husband did not want to buy a rug, the experience was exceptional and Matt (no pun Intended) was a great host & I got a beautiful rug anyway!! ;) Ended on Ladies beach with the kids, was a magical day!!
Great tour from Abraham

Book my guide/ get my guide.. Ew found the service online separate from the cruise. Our guide was truly amazing, showing us the ruins while also giving the complicated history. Just a great gift for us in Turkey

Ibrahim was so knowledgeable and I can't imagine our day here without him. We were only here for a day, so having a guide helped us make the most of it. He knows the best sports for food, and shared his culture with us for the day. We are so grateful!
Amazing tour through Ephesus!
