Very Moving Experience

My wife and I were on a Viking Cruise and one of the tour options was to visit the House of Mother Mary. This was a very moving experience, very much enjoyed seeing the grounds, cleansing pool, church, and shrine to Mother Mary. Very easy excursion to see and lots of history to explore. We felt this was one of the many highlights to our trip.

Brilliant trip to ephesus

Feyzullah was the funniest tour guide with all the facts of the tour shared bundled in laughter. He was absolutely knowledgeable about the history and gave us an amazing trip. Umut was our driver and he was the sweetest. Come world, and get a tour with these guys.

Pamukkale and Ephesus Group Tours

We booked an Ephesus tour and had a great time, we were picked up from the bus station, our guide Feyzullah knew a lot of about the history of Ephesus he was super enthusiastic & fun to be around. We booked our Pamukkale tour with the same agency had a similar experience, fun time all around. We were given 1-1.5 hours time for photos which was plenty. I would book with this agency in the future, special thanks to our wonderful guide for his insight and humour

Birding, Carpets, and briefly Ephesus

Four new species on the life list and although Sezgin doesn't have a good handle on local birds (first birding tour in 2 years - no one comes here to find birds), the effort he makes to stop and find them is excellent. With the ebird apps, identifying was easy. Ebird hotspots were unobtainable as they were old and fenced off. Sezgin knew of some ponds that did attract a fine variety of waders. Out on dirt roads, finding ancient artifacts was common and fun. The storks nesting on 2000yo Roman Aquaducts was one of my highlights. Certainly, the history of Turkey and its massive amount of artifacts and historical treasures is beyond comprehension and Sezgin knows his stuff, for sure. We were allowed to customize the tour and the local hand-made carpet factory was a great experience too. Would recommend.

Ephesus Tour

We had Ephesus Tour with castle travel and it was an awesome visit to House of Virgin Marry, Ephesus city and Temple of Artemis. Our guide Faizullah was fluent English speaker and jolly good person. Historic places and awesome travel arrangements. Thank you castle travel for awesome tour.

Highlight of our trip!

When you go traveling, there are bad guides, good guides and then there is Harun. From the first sentence he spoke, he had us hooked. The drive from Pamukkale (where we were staying) to Ephesus was about 3 hours, and in those three hours, he told us so much about Turkey - geography, politics, foreign policies - far beyond what was expected out of him. The Ephesus tour was just brilliant, Harun knew everything and answered every question. (I went home to read up on various things he had told us and was bowled over by the amount of knowledge he had on each subject.) At the end of the day, I was genuinely sad that the tour had ended. Ephesus would not have come to life the way it did if we had not had Harun as our guide. I would definitely recommend him if you wish to make your stay in Turkey worthwhile! :)

Excellent guide

We did a tour to Ephesus with them The guide,Feyzullah was real humorous and really made Ephesus one of the better archeological sites in Turkey.We learned a lot of interesting history lessons from him. He was right when he told us he was going to give us the best tour in Turkey.
