5.00Truly excellent value for money, with a friendly knowledgeable guide, skilled and safe driver and luxury air conditioned minibus. You really feel like a VIP and can decide on your own timetable as you go along.

5.00Ephesus was really interesting. The ruins are impressive and there's a lot of history behind everything. Our guide explained things clearly without dragging it out, which I appreciated. After Ephesus we visited a carpet village, wasn’t really sure what to expect but it was actually pretty cool. They showed how the carpets are made by hand, step by step, and it’s crazy how much work goes into it. Not pushy at all, just interesting to see the process.

5.00This excursion was definitely one of my favorites. Erdem was a absolutely amazing guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm made Ephesus come alive. It was also lovely to meet Garfield of Ephesus. It was terrific to learn how much the tour guides watch after the cats. We enjoyed lunch and the rug makers as well as the pottery makers, Turkish delight store and the wine tasting. All in all an awesome tour experience.
Worth the time

5.00Erdem was my tour guide. He took our group of three around Ephesus, a rug making demonstration and a wine tasting. Erdem was very professional and very knowledgeable. He was always pleasant and very kind. I would highly recommend touring with him. He made sure you were well taken care of and comfortable. There was no pressure to purchase anything. The meal was scrumptious!! His kind way of explaining the different cultures and customs was greatly appreciated.
Fantastic

5.00The tour was very interesting and varied. The guide had a lot of knowledge and thought it was important to align well with the needs of the participants. He clearly indicated in advance how the planning was and what we could expect from the day. Our 2 small children were also quick to love him. Had a great day. He speaks English, Turkish and Flemish.
Super fun, enthusiastic guide full of passion from Ephesus and Kusadasi!
