We had a group of 28 from Canada for a guided tour from the Cruise Port Terminals of Kusadasi and Istanbul. The bus picked us up at the ports as arranged. An English speaking licensed guide first greeted us at the port and guided us to the bus. Our arrangement had been all by email. The itinerary was fully customized... More

Denizhan's knowledge of Turkey and of ancient Christian and Islamic history was so informative. He brought to life for us the once thriving city of Ephesus. And how we delighted in our visit to the charming village of Sirince, where we had lunch among the local people. It's clear that Denizhan loves his country, and we fell in love with... More

Ephesus is an amazing place to visit. The ruins are in such an amazing state of preservation and to be able to walk where those of the biblical times have was just indescribable. We hired a private tour guide (Denizhan P. through Tours by Locals) for the day. He greeted us at the airport and the journey began. It is... More

While it isn't possible to cover every detail of Ephesus in a day tour, Denizhan P. did a fantastic job of pointing... More
