Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

We start our tour by visiting the House of Virgin Mary, which was discovered in the dreams of Sister Catherine Emmerich and is an important pilgrimage point. Catholic pilgrims visit, believing that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was brought to this stone house by the Apostle John and lived and died in this house until she was taken to heaven. It was officially declared a shrine of the Roman Catholic Church in 1896 and has since become a popular pilgrimage site. After visiting here, we set out to explore the ancient city of Ephesus.

The guide has a very pleasant family treatment. Very competent in the explanations of the monuments we visited: Basilica of Saint John, House of the Virgin, all of ancient Ephesus... We were lucky to share food with her.

Daria Tours is a guarantee. Serious and reliable. The booking included the guide in Italian but unfortunately, the evening before, there was a serious problem (mourning) and Daria was very good at sending us another guide: SENEM. Even though it was in English, she made herself understood very well. A super guide!! She showed up at the port and at the end of the tour she accompanied us back. We visited Mary's house, Ephesus and Sirince. He illustrated in detail everything there was to know, let us taste typical local dishes and even accompanied us shopping!! Highly recommended. ❤️

This was my third trip to Turkey. Burci's guide was very nice and kind. Mr. Bülent is a professional driver who excels in his work. He was willing to take care of us and provide us with all the service beyond his duties. He was always helpful and funny, at the same time discreet. The bus was ready and clean for us every day. The sights are interesting, but thanks to the personal approach of the guide and especially the driver Bülent, our holiday got a completely different light.
Great trip!

First time in Turkey and it has been a great experience. We had a 2 day tour. First day was a day trip to Pumakkale. And second day to ephesus, house of virgin mary and Artemis. Our tour guide Fanda was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Our personal driver Engin, who was always on time, and a very safe driver. He also loves animals like we do. He feeds the stray cats and dogs. He always has snacks for us and the animals. He even stopped once at the side of the rode because one dog appeared to be hungry and he gave him food. Highly recommend the company and request for Engin and Fanda.

Ms. Derya and her driver, Mr. Erwin picked us up right on time. She is a polyglot who speaks fantastic English, Spanish and Italian. On our way to Pamukkale, She suggested paragliding as an activity. In my jet-lagged delirium, I thought she meant parasailing, which doesn't make sense looking back since we're driving away from the sea. When I realized that it's the other kind of gliding as we drove up to the top of the mountain with the fantastic Dragon Paragliding staff, the ever whispering "fking always wins" had its way. Before I knew it, my feet were dangling, looking down at the most beautiful view of Pamukkale and its pristine ivory travertines from air. Holy cow, what an experience. Needless to say, I was wide awake by this time--a marvelous feat even a stomach lining melting pot of coffee could not have achieve. Next, she gave a wonderful overview of Pamukkale and Hierapolis and took care of the logistics of swimming at the thermal pool. She was very thoughtful and volunteered to take pics for me and an adorable couple from Miami. I quickly realized that this woman, who mastered three languages was also a photographer. She tapped into my inner "Natasha" and I have some wonderful pictures because of her. Another fantastic point was the free time to roam. She gave the right amount of guided tour time and "do what I want" time. The next day, my friend joined on our way to the Virgin Mary's House and Ephesus. Ms. Derya was also very thoughtful in her presentation, hitting interesting points I may not have read in history books. Again, her gifted photography skills came in handy and I have wonderful pictures with my friend. She also suggested wine tasting at a cute village and a local pastry shop, which were simply divine. Whatever she suggested, I was now on to it to just say yes. She also mentioned camel wrestling in Jan, which I will return to see with my husband, and of course, only with Derya and Erwin.
