We didn’t know much about Ephesus before. This tour was amazing. Troy was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious and restaurant very clean. Highly recommend this tour!

Despite being a writer for a living (I'm not professional writing now, so please excuse errors), I have no words to tell you just how incredible this tour was. Mufasa's knowledge about Ephesus' Christian history was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Working in the ministry, I was eager to have quality conversations with our tour guide and Mufasa did not disappoint. While the area was extremely crowded, Mufasa navigated us around like a pro, taking us to the places we were sure we wanted to see. He tied all the history together in one beautifully woven story so well that he brought tears to my eyes. We also added on the Terrace Houses, which were incredible. We also stopped at St. John's Church, which was unexpected treat. We asked for a detour to the Virgin Mary's house and were obliged. Thank you, Mufasa, for making a lifetime memory for us. As a side note - be aware they have a deal with a local rug maker. There was A LOT of pressure to buy rugs. That was the one and only negative aspect of the tour. We really did not appreciate, or like this part of the tour.

Loved the informative tour guide. Very interesting place to visit. Our lunch was excellent, and the demonstration of carpet weaving technique fascinating. Recommend you decline carpet viewing unless in the market for a high grade Turkish rug.

This was an amazing tour. Alex was a fantastic guide sharing rich history, Great knowledge of Ephesus, house of the Virgin Mary, and gave great recommendations. Lunch was authentic and delicious. We also really enjoyed visiting a carpet maker and learning about the process. This was the best tour we have ever been on!

Our tour of Ephesus with tour guide Alex was the best tour we have ever been on! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and history, gave us tons of information in a very entertaining way. His interaction with us was delightful! The next time we go to Turkey we will most definitely request Alex for our guide!!
