“Our guide, Emre, was phenomenal! His knowledge and expertise on all things pertaining to this excursion was remarkable and very impressive. Moreover, he had great people skills, and was very accommodating according to what we wanted to experience. Without a doubt he is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Also, hats off to Viator for reaching out to us and rectifying a previous mediocre experience with another guide in Istanbul. We have used the services of Viator in the past and will continue to use them on future trips. They are easy to work with, offer a variety of great options, and are very professional.”

Although we did not purchase any carpets, we learned a lot about Turkish carpets and how the silk is made from the cocoons. The Ephesus tour was amazing. Fuson is very knowledgeable and moved with our personal pace.”
