Well organised and efficiently run, Umut knows his stuff! We had an informative and pleasant tour. What I liked about it most was the bits of free time when I could look around Ephesus on my own without being rushed.

Uhmut was a wonderful, extremely knowledgeable guide. This was one of the best tours we have taken. Visiting Ephesus would not have been the same without him. He helped bring the old city alive. He shared stores and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is very professional and friendly. He made the day very memorable.
