Traveler Reviews

Gonca is the best guide, his knowledge and his charisma is unique. This is amazing experience that love this City

Excellent tour! Because of covid restrictions I was the only tour participant. Experience guide and professional driver... everything went in time and the weather was very nice. Curio travel organized 4 Day tour including Pamukkale, Hieropolis, Pergamon, Prienus, Millet, Didima and Ephesus.

Great tour with Melih, who was an entertaining tour guide and very knowledgeable about Ephesus and its history. Transport was spotless and all completed in a timely fashion.

After another couple had to cancel, we were left as the only couple on the tour at this point in the season & our guide had to wait on our ship to arrive for a few hours at the meeting point. He was exactly where we were told to find him, waiting patiently. First, I'd like to say that our tour guide was so very knowledgeable on historical & religious aspects of the tour in and around Ephesus. He was thorough, respectful, and gave us ample time on our own at each site to explore after he gave us his interpretations. His English was excellent! The House of Mary was, to us, the most moving, but the city of Ephesus was remarkable and a once in a lifetime visit. The day was very warm, and plenty of water was provided. I would recommend a wide hat, covering or even an umbrella to shelter from the heat. Lastly, we'd like to comment on a pitfall that we encountered. Being naive travelers, we agreed (upon guide's recommendation) on a stop at a "cooperative" that was owned by his
