5.00The best tour I have ever been on in my life! Onur was an amazing tour guide and is a college professor who knows so much about his country. He gave us extra time and went out of his way to make this the best tour experience. The driver was amazing and drove us around in a beautiful Mercedes. I felt like royalty. The food was fantastic and the people we met were courteous and hospitable. This tour is worth more than they are asking. If you want a tour of the House of the Virgin Mary and Ephesus while learning about the local culture and visiting beautiful shops where they make handwoven rugs, leather jackets, and pottery. This is the one!!

She was also very knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour, and we always felt like we were in great hands. It was a great way to see different parts of the city as well. If you happen to do this tour, ask for Ceyda!

5.00A last minute decision to visit Ephesus again after 12 years turned out to be a blessing. The day started off with meeting our tour guide, Utku, who was at the port to pick us up on time. He is a very pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable young person, who made us feel good and comfortable the whole time with him. He had great true knowledge of the historical people and places in Ephesus. He made sure that we see the important things that we need to see that day. We had a great with Utku and we wish him all the best and hope to meet him again someday soon. Thank you Utku!
Keep up the good tours

5.00My mom and I were supposed to go on this tour. My mom wasn't feeling well, so decided not to go 5 minutes before we were to get off our ship and meet our guide. Erdem, Adam, was amazing! When they say a private tour, they mean a private tour! My mom missed out on the best day of the whole trip ! I did not feel uncomfortable being alone on this amazing day for one minute. In fact, I was treated more like royalty. It was a fabulous day!!!!
Fantastic day Ephesus Thank you so much
