We spent a week in March 2018 with Fatma, visiting Ephesus, Aphrodisias, Pammukale, Sardis and other archeological sites. She is very knowledgable, entertaining and well-organized! I came with a lot of opinions and she was quite tactful about steering me in better directions; never once did I regret taking her advice! She knows the sites really well and she knows what the archeologists are up to now. She is bundle of energy! Take her advice on restaurants and hotels! We usually don't get guides but this was far and away the best use of our time and money.

Fatma arranged two private tours - one to Didyma and one to Ephesus in Turkey. We traced in a van with our two friends, driver and guide. We were able to personalize our tours. They were a great value and Both guides we extremely knowledgeable and willing to tailor your to our wishes. It was also fun and enlightening to eat in local restaurants and visit a countryside olive oil processing plant. They were will organized, communicative and timely. We highly recommend this company!

Our day visit to Ephesus with Fatma was unbelievable. We would thoroughly recommend a day with Fatma -- she is informative, caring, and feisty! She obviously loves what she does. Fatma went out of her way to accommodate us all day - including a visit to buy Turkish Delight! This petite lady has left an indelible mark on our life.

We were very impressed with Fatma Acar. She made sure to tailor our tour so that my 8 year old and 10 year old children were as entertained as the adults. She is very informative and has an impressive knowledge of history and was able to answer all of our questions. In addition to all of this she was also able to anticipate the needs of my elderly mother and suggest a good place for her to sit down and wait while the rest of us navigated all the stairs involved with the terrace houses. If we are lucky enough to weigh anchor in Turkey again we will be sure to book her as our tour guide for the next adventure.

Fatma gave us a wonderful tour of Ephesus and Mary’s House. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a fascinating overview of the history - as well as making sure we got the best pictures! We’d recommend Fatma to anyone wanting to learn more about this amazing city.

We booked a tour to meet when our cruise was in port. Four days prior to our tour our port day was changed. An email to the company and new arrangements were quickly arranged. Our guide was very informative, the driver very safe. We had a wonderful time in Ephesus.

My family of four (including two teenage sons) plus my parents had a fabulous day of touring Ephesus and the Kusadasi area. My parents have toured with Fatma previously, and my husband and I had been to Ephesus 19 years ago, but this was our sons first trip to Europe. Fatma brought the historical sites to life with her commentary, and made a point to learn about our sons' interests and incorporated them into the day. We were all (from age 13 to 74) engaged all day long. When we were discussing local produce and commented on the size of the peaches and figs, she asked the driver to pull over in order for us to sample some from a local farmer. They were the best we'd ever had! After a two week cruise through the Mediterranean, our boys think that our tour with Helliantus Anatolia Tours was tied with one other (in Santorini) for the best!

It has been a few years since we were on a cruise in Turkey but it was fantastic that I was able to find Fatma Acar on the internet again and was able to book another tour with her . We have been a few times from Kusadasi to Ephesus but this year on a cruise with our daughters family including a couple of grandsons who have not been in Europe I was bound and determent to find the best guide in Turkey Ms Fatma Acar and was very pleased to see her positive replies to my emails !
Fatma is a guide who is incredible passionate about the history in this area of the world and she was able to connect with the grandsons in a very special way . They told me this was one of their best tours ever .
We had a great walk through the sight of Ephesus from the top towards the forum including one of the nicest portions the Tarace Houses . After that we went to the House of the Virgin Mary which happened to be on a special day on the religious calendar .We than went to a wonderful restaurant out of town in a rural setting where we had a fantastic lunch with so many options . After lunch we went through the Sirince Village and made a visit to the Museum . Before we knew it it was time to go back to the ship and Fatma's great driver of our van who had driven us all day took us back to the port .

It was another wonderful day with Fatma a fantastic guide that I wholeheartedly can recommend to have a great visit in Turkey ! Thank you Fatma

Words cannot begin to express how wonderful it was to get to know you and to have you as our guide when we visited Ephesus/Kusadasi Turkey November 2016. We were amazed at your love and knowledge of the Turkish History as you explained and described everything in detail. You brought us to the ruins of Ephesus, Terrace House, the House of the Virgin Mary, Sirince Village and then took us for a fabulous authentic Turkish meal that we are still talking about. Lastly you brought us to see and watch how the Turkish rugs are made by hand - from spinning the silk to watching how each rug is made from individual strands of silk/cotton/wool! I have gotten so many compliments from the rug that I bought that day.

We were with Fatma for 30 days. We visited mosques, markets, small towns, cities, Rumi's tomb, Catalhoyuk, Sagalassus, Alacati, Assos, Burdur and a host of others. We ate like sultans, lived in boutique hotels (one of which was in a cave), and were able to purchase gifts lower than the asking price because of Fatma's bargaining skills. She knows wholesale leather goods, fine arts, folk arts, spices and jewelry. She exceeded all of our expectations. She is also a wonderful person to know (we called her "mom"). We managed to get sick and she brought us to an excellent hospital. She was a nurse in her youth and she interceded for us with health care professionals. Most importantly, she loves and is deeply committed to her country, which adds passion to her guidance. This was our second tour with her and we are planning a third.
