We had a wonderful experience with Meral. We arrived early from our cruise ship, and Meral was already there waiting for us, allowing us to begin the tour ahead of schedule. Not only was she friendly, she was also extremely knowledgeable about Turkey. Her expertise in the area and understanding of other tour groups' schedules allowed her to adjust our itinerary on the fly to help us avoid the crowds. Meral was incredibly helpful during our Ephesus tour. The transfer fee was quite reasonable. We had originally planned to take a local bus, but we are so glad we opted for this transfer and added museum tickets. It was absolutely worth it, and we enjoyed being away from the crowds. A huge thank you to Meral for creating such an unforgettable experience.
