The tour of the ruins in Ephesus was amazing. In addition, we were also taken to Mira Kuyumculuk/Raffi Jeweler, a merchant who sold Turkish rugs and jewelry. We were assured by our Globus Travel tour guide that the merchant was reputable and that Globus would stand behind any merchant they took us to. NOT SO. I and another traveler purchased a gold Sultanite ring there that needed to be sized larger. We paid for our rings with credit cards. When they were delivered to us just before we got on the ship, they were actually smaller. We asked for a refund to our credit card. They took our cards and "processed" the credit on a portable card machine. However, they did not give us a paper confirmation. They assured us the charge would be reflected in our account in two days. The charge showed up on my credit card on November 5, 2019, the same day I purchased it. In the past two months I have made numerous calls and sent emails to Globus and Celestyal Cruises. The Globus tour guide even sent me a copy of a document which was supposed to be showing that the jeweler had requested a refund. However, I was not able to read the Turkish language. Also the jeweler left a message on my phone saying the refund would be credited on Nov 22. As of this date, 2 months later, the jeweler has still not refunded the money to my account! I have disputed the charge with my credit card company. The credit card company contacted the jeweler, but the jeweler never responded. The credit card company has reversed the charges. But I will never get back all the time, energy, and frustration I have wasted on this ordeal. And I will never travel with Globus again.

My first time in turkey. Our tour guide was eylem rehbecom. He was great. Very knowledgeable, fun & easy to understand. He made us very comfortable & welcome. I would highly recommend working with him.

We had a wonderful guide, Tamer Kara. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a gifted teacher. We had two young teens, and he catered his info to them. He paced the tour perfectly. He made suggestions, but after touring Ephesus, the rest of the morning was open to us. Lunch was included, and although we were sceptical as it was part of a rug making cooperative, it was delicious, and there was no pressure to buy, what so ever. We would highly recommend this company and guide.

It took us theee days to see it all. I overly enjoyed it. There is loads of walking included. Bit if you are into history, it's must see. The house of Virgin Mary is tiny, it takes few minutes, but Efes is massive, so be prepared to walk. Wear comfortable shows and carry water with you. We hired a car, so it was a cheap day out. It costs 60 Turkish liras pp, which is less than £10 per person.

On a pilgrimage so we got a small cabin. Food in general was okay but I believe they should cater to what they have a majority of travelers. If Asian, well, more Asian food, right? Their scrambled eggs for breakfast (the only American food besides Cereal) were always watery despite mentioning it to the chief cook. This cruise included the Greek Isles.

Well the excursions are nice but they do go kinda crazy taking you in and even if you dont go with the ship there will be tons of people outside going crazy to take you arround. What i dont understand is when you pay so much for the cruise itself why should you pay more money atop that for every excursion? It's already planned and everything, they should make a new price incuding the excursions.
