We did the private Ephesus, Terrace Houses, and Virgin Mary Home on 11/09. Our guide was Jayda, who was excellent, informative, knowledgeable, interesting, and kept us moving at a great pace. Ephesus ruins may not be for everyone, but we found it fascinating, and Jayda did a great job of bringing it alive. A half day tour in the late summer heat was a good time frame. Another great driver inTurkiye!! Thank you Jayda for an excellent tour. Very happy to give 5 🌟.

Treated like royalty on this tour. Resul, our driver opened my door at every stop. Our guide, Selcuk was very knowledgeable and personable. He answered all of our questions and gave us every opportunity to stop and take pictures. It was like touring with a family member instead of a someone we just met. Ephesus was absolutely amazing and the tour of the terrace houses was exceptional. I would highly recommend this tour and Selcuk and Resul to everyone!
