    We had a wonderful experience with Tour Radar who arranged our 8 days Ephesus Tour in Turkey! The tour guides, drivers and the organizers were very efficient, courteous and friendly. Mr Umut Kurt arranged our itinerary with his team namely Uktu, Yesra Altas and Benjamin who were very knowledgeable and professional.

    We had an amazing time and journey. Umut and team were wonderful and responsive, the tour guides we had in all 3 cities were experienced and knowledgeable, the transportations and drivers were excellent throughout. We paid the private tour supplement which was very reasonable and recommended for those who enjoys such. The standard class hotel in Istanbul was perfectly located and very comfortable. We upgraded hotels in Kusadasi and Cappadocia and again very recommended for the price difference - both the Charisma Deluxe and Mithra Cave hotels had great views and rooms. Also would suggest adding the Cappadocia Green Tour which we did and enjoyed. Umut and team were also very accommodating with domestic flights and worked around our preferences. Overall highly recommend Guide of Ephesus, this tour and Umut and his team for your upcoming travels in Turkey.

    This tour was AMAZING! Every part of our trip was well-planned and executed. We are South Africans who visited Turkey for the first time. We were pleased with our hotels, transport and tour guides. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and were able to answer our questions. We also had free time to relax and unwind, or do other activities, aside from the tour itself. The meals, especially the lunches, were absolutely delicious!! This is the third tour that I have booked through Tour Radar, and I have been pleased every single time! I would highly recommend Guide of Ephesus - Mr Umut was on top of everything - sending instructions/directions and answering questions immediately. Thanks to him, we had a stress-free and relaxing trip! I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to every person involved in this tour - from the drivers to the guides to the hotel staff at every hotel we stayed at. They were all so helpful and made our trip a memorable one!!!

    This was a great tour, everything went smoothly, communication was good and my queries were always answered promptly. This is a very busy and full on tour but to see and experience everything it has to be done. Would highly recommend, the tour guides in all locations were knowledgeable and friendly. The hotels were great, friendly staff, clean rooms and breakfast was good, best hotel for me was the Recital in Istanbul, the staff were the best really friendly and went out of there way to help and give advise.

    Courtney

    Asked on April 28th, 2025

    Can I please get a room with someone of the same gender? If there are places that require an entry fee, can I choose not to enter if I don't want to? I would like to book the hot air balloon ride by myself. Also, for paragliding, I would prefer to book it on the spot if a female trainer is available. Is that possible? Will the guide pick me up and drop me off every day during the trip? Also, since I am a student, is there any student discount available?
