From Trip Advisor

We spent 4 days discovering the 7 Churches of Revelation with Oktay Karabiyik (aka Octavius the Great) … Octavius knew every single site we went to incredibly well, throwing out enough facts and figures to make any history buff salivate with excitement.  What I most liked, however, was how personal he made our trip feel, especially since it was just my husband and me.  He made sure the route wasn’t too arduous for us and delighted in sharing some GREAT cultural experiences when we had some extra down time plus did a quick drive-by of the Temple of Artemis (not on the original tour itinerary) because we’d mentioned wanting to see it and it was on the way.  We felt like we were being shown around by a native Turkish friend instead of being on a tour.  Great sense of humor with a dash of mischievousness thrown in.  I would highly recommend Octavius, especially if you’re on the younger side (or young-at-heart) like us.
