It was my first time in Turkey. I enjoyed it very much. I had a fascinating time! These people stood behind their name and made my experience magical. Our Tour guide Ilker was awesome! And the manager Tugce here in Houston made everything so easy and smooth . Highly reccomended!!

Turkey has been a revelation for me, totally unexpected. The size of country I hadn't realized. Ephesus was amazing and its excavation very beautifully done.

We booked a half day shore excursion with Magical Steps to see Ephesus and the Terrace Houses. Prices was very reasonable and included lunch. We had the good fortune to have Zeynap Erkan as our guide, she was knowledgeable and charming. I would highly recommend both the guide and company!
