Alpi - the best tour guide ever!!!

5.00Alpi was the most amazing tour guide I have ever had (and I’ve travelled and toured around 55 countries). He is the most genuine and genuinely happy and patient guide. He made history and the sites we visited so fascinating that me, my wife, and my 2 kids (9 and 14) were all hanging on every word. He is an incredible human being and I would unequivocally recommend this tour for anyone that wants an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide through Ephesus! Thanks Alpi and I would tour again with you in a heartbeat!!
A perfect day trip to Ephesus from Izmir cruise port.

5.00The tour to Ephesus and House of Mary is one of a kind experience, to see the civilization,ruins of Ephesus and the Majestic and Holy house of Virgin Mary. Erman was a great tour guide and companion. He sounds like a historian and very detailed on every aspect of history of Ephesus . His vast knowledge of the tour, walk you through back where ancient history of Ephesus originated. Kudos also to John, the driver who makes our tour memorable very smoothly by driving us safe back to our cruise ship.
When touring Efes, use Erman!

5.00My family and I had a wonderful tour with Erman! He’s an Izmir “local” with a vast understanding of the areas historical relevance. He spoke clear English and even researched some of our questions prior to sharing his answers. The tour van was clean and well air conditioned. Two thumbs up!!
Excellent tour guide
