5.0010/10. The host was phenomenal in explaining the history, the variety in activities throughout the day between the ruins, witnessing a carpet/textile site near the ruins, lunch and then finishing in Sirince made for a phenomenal day. Must do activity when you’re in Izmir

Superb tour of Ephesus with Gul

5.00My husband and I had a tour of Ephesus with Gil and Omur which is one of the best tours we have done. Gul’s knowledge was clearly excellent but the way she shared it made the experience come alive for us. Omur was kind, patient and friendly which made for a very easy trip. The lunch provided was generous, very tasty and provided in a cool and pretty environment. Overall we would totally recommend both the company and Gul… if we were staying longer we would definitely ask for her as our guide again.
Great value for money day trip

5.00A wonderful day out that was fascinating. It’s more than just history. Ephesus itself is stunning and well worth it on its own to find out the history and significance of the place. The Virgin Mary’s House was tranquil and spiritual, arriving early before the cruise ship tours, as we did, is definitely recommended. Walking through Ephesus with a knowledgable and friendly guide such as Hakan, made the history of the place come alive. The carpet weaving experience was informative and fascinating - and the rugs were beautiful. Lunch and the leather factory were also great value, before the beauty of Sirinçe. A great day out for all the family and value for money.
Great trip to Ephesus

5.00The tour was very good. The day was long - picked up at 7:30 and dropped off at 5:30 - but the guide was really good so he kept it moving. He was seasoned so both knowledgeable and attentive. The driver had a long day! He was very good. Ephesus is amazing - that was the highlight and reason to go.

5.00This was honestly one of the best days I’ve had in Turkey! Our tour guide, Nizam, was absolutely amazing — so funny, friendly, and full of knowledge. You can tell he truly loves what he does and knows the history inside out. I learned so much, laughed a lot, and just had the best time. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a really cool friend who happens to know everything about the place. Highly recommend!
