We were family of 3 and the 12 days Turkey trip was scheduled neatly from start to finish. Everything went smoothly from the local tours, hotels, and even the 8 hours car ride was fun thanks to the attentive drivers. The places were also on point and we're left satisfied with what we had visited.

We can't thank Emin and Ephesian Tourism travel enough for giving us wonderful memories to cherish for lifetime. We were five of us. We visited Turkey in the first week of November which is supposed to be an off season. Lot of reviews I had read which said that it is not the best time to go to Turkey, however, I feel, that was just the right time to go to Turkey. It was cold but not so cold that it restricts your travel. We could beat the crowd and of course the price advantage you get to travel in the off season. We were on a 12 day trip in which we covered Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Perge, Aspendos, Pamukkale, Kusadasi, Ephesus, Sirince. The entire trip was extremely smooth and it was planned just for us the way we wanted it. The hotels, the guides, the timings given at each place was just perfect. Salma who had planned everything for us was always a call away and he would be there to help us out. I being the travel buff and a fussy one, he was very calm and patient through the trip planning also where I made him change itinerary couple of times. Nowhere did we feel that this could have been better or that could have been better. It was all fine and beautiful. I would definitely recommend Ephesian Tourism and Emin for your Turkey trip. Happy planning :)
