Went on a “private” group tour. It is winter and due to lesser visitors, we got a private tour for a group tour price. From Izmir, it took about 45-60min to arrive at the Ephesus. There was an optional rest room stops along the way. Our guide, Belkant, did a fantastic job of explaining all the sites in Ephesus and later, the Home of Virgin Mary, which was on top of a mountain near Ephesus. The tour included a good Turkish lunch at carpet factory. Of course, there was the “flying carpet” show to entice potential buyers. We learnt a lot about the Turkish carpet industry but we are not a big fan of carpets in general. So politely, we declined all their offers.

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 :-)
