          Outstanding experience in Istanbul
          Sedat Gülen was our private guide during 3.5 days in Istanbul. We went to the main landmarks, he advised us where to eat and buy. It was an unique experience that for sure we will hope and like to repeat again. Thanks Sedat for your outstanding companion during these days. Mónica & José

          Great Day Tour
          The day tour is packed with many experiences in just one day. We got to see the highlights of Istanbul. Mosques, cisterns, Grand Bazaar, Palace, museums, and Turkish rugs shopping experience. Zedat went above and beyond for us. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I'd recommend this tour to anyone especially if you only have a short visit to Istanbul.

          Rick Steves Turkey in 13 Days was beyond exceptional
          Husband, adult son and I experienced the trip of a lifetime with our guide Mine through Turkey at the end of October. Every moment was better than expected. Mine brought Türkiye to life for us with her life experience as well as her educational background (two Masters degrees!). Our days were full and carefully calculated to bring us the best experience. We would leave early some days to beat the tourist rush. She offered many recommendations for restaurants and shops and was accurate in her assessments. Traveling with a group was new for us and turned out to really enhance the experience. We formed friendships that will continue when we get home. Mine encouraged our togetherness by asking everyone to get a ‘buddy’, spend a few minutes to get to know them, and connecting with them whenever the group moved together. That way we could move quickly from site to site. We saw so much, learned so much. Mine would outline the history, share interesting anecdotes, and then give us free time to explore the wonders of Turkey. We shared new foods, new cultural experiences, new understanding of religions. A couple of bus rides were long (5-6hrs) but we stopped every 2 hours at truck stops (not at all like those in US) and Mine made the trip go fast by sharing her personal experiences and even teaching us the alphabet and basic phrases. We learned soo much. The small boutique like hotels were marvelous: prime locations, clean and better than adequate, lovely attributes like gardens or swimming pool or even staying in rooms carved out of the stone of Cappadocia! Optional side trips like flying in a balloon in Cappadocia (highly recommended) or Turkish bath ( also highly recommended). In fact we decided all of the optional opportunities were well worth it. Such an incredibly rich experience. The Rick Steve’s method cannot be beat. There were only a few like us that had had never experienced his trips. But we are true converts and this will not be our last. Especially if Mine is guiding, I would follow her anywhere.

          Top Notch tour!
          Murat was an amazing quide. He gave us a very manageable history of Turkey and the area as well as Ephesus. He was interesting, personable and answered many additional questions for us. We enjoyed a Turkish coffee and a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour with Murat. Sulieman was a very good driver as well.

          Great Experience!
          The sites were amazing, featuring tons of historic buildings and beautiful artwork and architecture. My guide, Ugurcan, took me to the best place to see how carpets are made and showed me around the Grand Bazaar. The whole experience was a 10/10; I highly recommend it.

          Excellent historical journey through the ottoman empire
          Sherif was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. His deep understanding of the history of the Roman and ottoman empires was extremely informative as we spent most of our time going through the palace. Taking us back to the time of sultans, we really appreciated how he painted the picture for our imaginations.

          Highly recommended!
          I have choosen Ada Travel Agency based on their good reviews and they were located close to my hotel next to Osmanbey station and i was never disappointed! I reserved a hotel in bodrum for me and my friend and Mine was so friendly with us and helped us to get our reservation the way we wanted it (room type and room view) and she made sure everything is the way we wanted it to be. I highly recommend them as they are now my go-to travel agency in Istanbul.

          Day in Istambul with Sophia
          My husband and I had a private tour with Sophia, in Istambul today, it was a wonderful time. Sophia was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and took her time to explain the intracies of Istambul's sites and culture as they changed through the years. Further she explained our options and sifhts to see and let us choose what appealed to us. I would highly recommend her as a guide. Thank You

          Connection with our Christian roots
          What a wonderful experience it was to be in Ephesus! To trace our Christian roots was very meaningful for us. To stand where Apostle Paul stood!! Our pleasant guide, Nesrin, shared so much interesting information which brought an understanding of the world back then. Her knowledge shared with us was so enlightening. It was notable that the people back then were smart to make a city and their economy work so well. That they had a public library was impressive so all could read made us smile, The Terrace of Houses was an extra which made our tour amazing. We agreed that we all could easily have enjoyed living in this valley. :) Added to this, the Carpet Coop. we visited where we saw local women at work weaving, made us gasp at the colour Heaven ( as Nesrin so rightly put it) The skill involved and finished products were a feast for the eyes. Having a Turkish pancake in a high spot of a Village, while looking down on a picturesque valley, added an authentic touch to the tour. All the arrangements were slick and the ride was comfortable. Thumbs up to our private guide and the Phoenicia Travel team.

        We agree with them to make a day tour of Efeso knowing the most important and representative of the area.

        Our guide Ender, was punctual in our hotel to pick us up and take us to the tour, it is very important that when visiting places with a lot of history as Selçuk ruins, house of the Virgin Mary to understand all their history do it with a serious agency and that has professional guides and with knowledge of cause that you explain everything in detail.

        This is found in Ada Vegas Travel, an agency with an excellent quality of customer service since the first contact by email we had, Ender is an excellent guide, professional, punctual, friendly and also speaks Spanish perfectly.

        Our day in Selçuk was very interesting and fun, thanks to Ada Vegas Travel for everything, besides they also have different services throughout Turkey so if you think about visiting this country I recommend 100% to do it with them.
