Review of a private Istanbul tour from hotel or cruise port, covering Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar.

“We met up with our incredible tour guide Ayshe right at the door (top of escalator) in the port. Very easy to cover alot of ground by hopping in a private shuttle van both to and from old town where all of the sites were located. Ayshe was extremely professional, knowledgeable, a native of Istanbul, highly educated and delightful. We couldn’t ask for anything more from our tour. We were able to discuss the options with Ayshe and customize according to our wants which included a stop at a local coffee shop for a snack and Turkish coffee/tea. Despite the size of the city market Ayshe knew exactly where to…”

Review of a small-group Ephesus tour from Kusadasi with Virgin Mary’s House, Terrace Houses, Temple of Artemis, transfers, and cruise-port return.

“A wonderful day and a tour! We ended up being the only ones with our tour guide and driver. Our tour guide "Emri" was wonderful and full of knowleadge. We stopped first at a local artisan pottery place for a presentation and then went to Mary's House. After that we toured Ephesus. Lots of walking in a hot weather, but because it was just our family of four on the tour, things were smooth and we loved "Emri"! Thank you for a memorable day in Turkey!”

Barcelona shore excursion with Gothic Quarter, Montjuïc, Sagrada Familia skip-the-line access, and optional Park Güell and La Pedrera.

“This tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was incredibly insightful, pleasant, and fun—he had such a great energy and was full of fascinating knowledge about Barcelona’s history, culture, and architecture. He really made the experience special for everyone in our group. The highlight, of course, was the Sagrada Familia. Seeing it in person was breathtaking—an absolute must-see. Skipping the line made a huge difference and gave us more time to truly take in the beauty and detail of Gaudí’s masterpiece. The tour was well-paced, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona, especially if you're coming in on a cruise and want to…”

“Our amazing guide (Tylan) met us at the cruise port, as scheduled. We were then met by a driver in a new, clean, air-conditioned vehicle. We learned lots of great information about Turkey as we drove to the various sights included on the tour. The best part of the tour was seeing the ancient ruined city of Ephesus.
