“Selda was AMAZING! I booked this for my family while we were on a cruise. The excursions through the boat were so much more expensive and I much preferred putting money directly into the hands of the country and it’s people who we are visiting! This was a private tour and Selda gave us options of how we would like to customize our trip to make it work best for us and our interests.

We went to Ephesus first, then Lotus Ceramic…”

Private history-only tour of UNESCO Ephesus and Terrace Houses from Selçuk with an English guide and no shopping stops; entrance fees extra.

“Our “history only” tour was literally the highlight of our trip to Turkey. Even though two couples cancelled out the day before, Mehmet, the owner, went on with our group of three rather than cancelling because we did not have the minimum of four people. BTW, two of us are history teachers, who knew some history of the area and were eager to learn more. We were delighted with the knowledge displayed by our guide Huseyin and his ability to answer all our questions in addition to providing insights into the multiple civilizations that have occupied the area of Ephesus. All three of us learned a lot. And, as promised,…”
