The wonderful sights of Ephesus and beyond

5.00The experience was excellent, our guide Hazel was very knowledgeable and very understanding of my mother’s mobility needs. We adapted the tour as we wished, whilst Hazel also kept a track on time so we arrived back at the cruise ship in time. The vehicle was very comfortable, with good air conditioning and a supply of water. The driver did an excellent job navigating around the busy roads. A* would recommend to all, with or without mobility issues.
Outstanding Tour

5.00We booked the "Less Walking" tour of the Virgin Mary's house and the Ephesus Roman ruins. Aleyna was our tour guide and she did an amazing job. She arrived early, was responsive to our special needs and conducted an extraordinary tour. We highly recommend Curio Travel.

5.00Excellent excursion - we had Fusun as our guide. She was wonderful and explained things extremely well and took patience on the guide to go slow with elderly folks. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting via cruise as the whole experience was stress free and easy! Thanks, Chris & Family

5.00This was the best way to see a lot of the city with less walking. We got to see a lot of spots we otherwise wouldn’t have even know about until our tour guide took us there. We had the most amazing tour guide Inan Akpinar.
