My guide, Begu, was superb. Fluent English, knowledgeable, insightful. Had multiple, in depth conversations in general about Turkey and Ephesus in particular. If you are interested in learning the history and culture of this period, Begu is the one to ask for.

Such a disappointment. Company cancelled a half an hour after pick up time. We only had one day in town and booked this tour. Don't waste your time and money!
3. Food and Wine pairing Dinner at Karnas Vineyards Bodrum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 6 reviews
In Bodrum there is an award winning vineyard in magical grounds, at ancient Karia where wine making was a tradition even in the Roman Times. At Karnas Vineyards, delicious Food & Wine Pairing dinners are offered where you have a chance to see the vineyard, the cellar and meet the owners. The concept is farm to table, everything that is served, is grown in the area by local farmers, grapes are organic. Karnas Zinfandel wine is the one and only Zinfandel wine in Turkey and Karnas Shiraz wines are awarded the best Shiraz / Syrah Wine in Turkey in 2017. Watching the sun go down while sipping your wine is breath taking.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Food tasting, Wine tasting, 4-course dinner, Alcoholic Beverages
Exclusions: Wine is limited to 2 glasses for each wine that is on the menu, extra bottles of wine can be ordered at an additional cost.

My fiancé and I visited Karnas Vineyards on our trip to Bodrum and would highly recommend. It’s a fair journey to get there, but the views and the quiet away from the Bodrum bustle are so worth it! The food was delicious and locally sourced, with well paired wine which was served generously. The staff were lovely, very personable and made this an experience! Top tip: Book direct with Karnas Vineyards to get a much better rate.

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.

We took the Ephesus and wine tasting tour accompanied by our guide Sezin. And it was just an incredible experience! Not only did we learn a lot about the local wine culture but we could customize the tour to our own liking. We tried some excellent wines while exploring the beautiful sights around Izmir. I higly recommend consulting Gastrovagent to anybody visiting East Turkey. When we go back we will surely try one of the other tours!

Booked through Goodman tours weeks before our scheduled Balloon flight via Viator. Received confirmation, got tickets. Night before our flight we get an email, not from Goodman tours but from Viator advising that Balloon flight has been cancelled due to “overbooking”. Rang Goodman tours, they say cancelled because of bad weather but there were heaps of other balloon flights the next morning. Very disappointed as we went to Cappadocia specifically for the Balloon ride. Could of let us know earlier in the day so we could book another flight. Goodman tours offered a complimentary activity, but if never eventuated. Will not use them again.
