Six of us from Florida had a 5 hour tour. It was wonderful! Atilla was terrific! We loved him! Very informative, kind, and took care of our every need. The mini bus was very nice and comfortable with a separate driver. Lunch was very good and loved talking with Atilla. Your country is beautiful! We will come again.

Tremendous day at Ephesus!

The archeological sites were amazing and truly brought to life by our friendly and informative tour guide Atilla.

Atilla was an AMAZING guide!!

He was on time, very accommodating to our desires, generous with his information and knowledge about his country, about Ephesus and Sirince. He was a joy to be with and made us feel very comfortable.

We will be recommending him to anyone we know who may be coming here!!

His sense of humor and genuineness was the best part of our day. We learned a lot and enjoyed every minute!!

In Kusadasi: Our one day outing with Ilker and Kemal was informative, fun, educational, educational and was a wonderful experience ! Ilker's arrangements for lunch was wonderful. We enjoyed the company of our informative guide and would recommend him as a guide to anyone.

Overall our experience with Magical Steps has been better than we hoped!

Our first guide in Istanbul, Kemal, was a wonderful introduction to the city and the country and was a joy to be with. His enthusiasm for his city and culture is infectious.

Kemal and Magical Steps,

Thank you for a great tour in Istanbul. The driver and car were very nice and driver drove safely and punctual. We think Kemal is a very knowledgeable guide and we learned a lot about Turkey and Istanbul. He set a pace that was good for all of us and was sensational to our comfort needs. The lunch stop was delicious and Craig was very happy to see the Harley Davison Shop.

Thank you again for a great day in Istanbul.

On June 13, 2012 we toured with Magical Steps. It was a custom tour. We loved the tour because we could stay at each site as long as as little as we wanted. Ilker was able to answer all of our questions with in depth answers. I highly recommend Magical Steps Tours. Thanks,
