Ephesus Tour Review

Ephesus Tour Review by Ms. Nancy Beaurivage

Below review is written by one of our clients Ms. Nancy Beaurivage whom we served in early june. The clients took a cruise on Celebrity Mediterranean Cruise. We had the pleasure being in service to the referenced guest in Kusadasi (Ephesus), Istanbul and Rome.

Dear Denizhan,

We booked a walking tour with you for the 4 of us in early June during a stop on a Celebrity Mediterranean cruise and a private tour with car, driver and guide in Ephesus. I apologize for the delay in contacting you regarding our experiences on these tours. Your advice concerning the walking tour was right on - every major site that we wanted to see was in a relatively small area. Our tour guide Delek(sp?) was a personable, well-educated guide and we enjoyed the tour. The only slight negative was that she seemed distracted at times and would take take phone calls. All of us can not say enough good things about our Ephesus guide, John Gurel. His command of the English language, in-depth personal knowledge of the site, concern for our comfort, love of Turkey and wanting to share his country with us far exceeded our expectations. We learned so much from him about Turkey- ancient history, current events, culture, daily life, food, drink, art and even more. He stimulated such an interest that all of us want to go back to Turkey for a longer visit in the near future. And not the least, he was fun to spend time with- the time we spent with him was a high-light of our cruise. I truly believe most American visitors would feel the same way and I hope you will consider utilizing his talents as frequently as possible. You also arranged transfer from the ship in Rome to the airport and a short tour along the way. Our driver, guide, there was Lucca and he was great, as well! It was a pleasure to work with you :it was easy, a great value compared with the ship's tours, excellent guides, you were very responsive- getting back to us almost immediately when we e-mailed you, every thing was organized and there were no problems. I have been recommending your company when I tell others about our vacation. Also, I will be posting my thoughts on Cruise Critic, as well. Wishing you continued success,

Nancy Beaurivage
