I did a day tour with Curio Travel and had an amazing time! The tour guide, Serkan was so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. It was a private tour and the tour guide was flexible and understanding for the tour sites where I wanted to spend more time, and I am so thankful to him for that. I feel so fortunate to experience Istanbul with Curio Travel, and going to remember my tour for a very long time. Hopefully, I will visit Istanbul again, and if I do I would definitely reach out to them :-)

Me and my wife visited Izmir Turkey in March 2031. Our Ephesus Tour guide Mr. Nesim was amazing. He covered the tour From A to Z very well. Ha had full knowledge of the historical aspects of all the places we visited like the Ephesus ancient City and the surroundings. He also did put extra effort and took us to the places which were not covered in the original tour plan. He also was very friendly so we enjoyed his company. He kept clicking pictures for us without even us asking him Overall it was an alround 5 star tour. If we ever go back to Turkey, we are going to hire him again

We had a wonderful day! a great experience in pamukkale with our guide. Gonca or rosita is a love of person, a being who loves his work and is very professional, his smile and his way of explaining us is unique, he makes us live the story, he is very affectionate and sincere. We also got a good price. We are leaving happy and in a next trip we will not hesitate to hire tours with you and always with Rosita as a guide. I will recommend to my friends from Colombia who are next to come. Thank you.

We had taken this tour previously and really enjoyed it, so we were happy to take the opportunity to do it again this time accompanied by my sister. So happy to find that the tour was every bit as enjoyable as we remembered. Having Nazim as our tour guide made everything even more enjoyable. He was considerate and helpful, he was able to tailor our visits to suit all of us and we never felt rushed. A great way to see a lot in one day.
