Kerem was an excellent guide. He was prompt, knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to take our photos. He made our trip exciting and memorable.
Hukan Uysal was the absolute best guide we’ve had this trip, I think he may be a archeologist he was so knowledgeable and we were exactly after the history, he exceeded our expectations and I will recommend to everyone!!!
Great guide-- she was very informative The restaurant was fine but charging for drinks was petty-- include the five Euro in the fee. I did not appreciate being sold carpets. I am not on this tour to be sold to! I know you get a kickback on sales brought through the door but we have not paid good money to be marks for a salesman.
Wonderful experience. Our tour guide was Wonderful. Her name was Oznur. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Very much worth the money.
This tour was excellent and very good value for money! Gül (Rose) was a great guide and she took some great photos too! The tour was great and covered Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary and Temple of Artemis, we had plenty of time at each stop. Gül met us right outside the cruise terminal and the tour company provided very easy to follow instructions to find the meeting place. A fantastic tour overall and would highly recommend!
Nafia was the absolute best! She demonstrated her knowledge of and enthusiasm for the history of Ephesus in an engaging and interesting way. She and her driver were right at the port when we got off our cruise ship and the two of them got us to our starting point quickly but safely ahead of bus loads of other cruise ship people. Saved us precious time waiting in lines. She was extremely attentive to our desire to learn about the subject and avoid annoying sales promoters. She is a top notch Ambassador for Turkiye and left us with fond memories of our visit.
It’s very exciting and interesting experience the food was great the people are friendly
Nafia our tour guide is the best!!!
Oznur. Was amazing. She was friendly, courteous. She took us to a nice variety of sites and local merchants. Highly recommend .
Our guide Oznur was delightful and made for a great tour. Thorough, polite and informative. A great tour to skip the crowds and see more of stunning Ephesus.
Very good value for the money. Ozzie was wonderful. Highlights was Ephesus and delicious lunch.
Had a wonderful day. Our tour guide “Ozzy” was great! Of course we wanted more time at each stop but only had a limited amount of time. Would highly recommend.
Amazing ruins. Our Guide “ Rose” was a delight and so knowledgeable, which made our experience so memorable. Although we enjoyed the stop at the Turkish Rug school seeing & learning how these amazing rugs are handmade - we felt the pressure to purchase was too intense. This is the only negative thing about our day.
We had a wonderful day with Rose as our very informative & bubbly guide. I enjoyed the activities! I highly recommend the!
Rose has been wonderful from start to finish! Very kind and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Ephesus and the various temples. She also surprised my sister and her husband with a cake to celebrate their anniversary. If I returned to Ephesus, I will definitely book her again! The whole experience was also very informative, while making sure we were cared for :) Lots of cats!
We had so much fun with our tour guide Gul. She us so nice and very informative. Highly recommended!
Gül was a wonderful guide today! She was also very thoughtful and even gave us a cheesecake after our included lunch to celebrate our 5th anniversary tomorrow~ Thank you, Rose! 🌹Teşekkürler for making our time in Kusadasi, Turkiye memorable!
Phenomenal tour! Got to see all the best of Ephesus and Rose was super educational and so friendly!! One of the best tour guides in the world we have had. She had the perfect combination of wonderful personality, educational information about the area and culture without it being too much talking, planned the duration/logistics nicely, and even taught us some Turkey!
Rose was absolutely awesome and this entire experience was amazing!! Best tour we have ever done…..free from all the big tourist crowds, amazing local lunch, and so educational.
We had a fantastic tour of Ephesus with Öznur Özgür , she was incredibly knowledgeable, timely, and a lot of fun. We would highly recommend taking a tour with Öznur and look forward to coming back to Turkey to see more of the beautiful country.
Our guide did a wonderful job tailoring the tour to the needs of our family which included younger children and a few people who had some difficulty walking over the slick marble roads. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough time for sightseeing and some shopping. Lunch was fantastic and everyone enjoyed listening to the history and taking memorable family photos.
Our guide, Oznur, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Very enjoyable tours of Ephasus, the Virgin Mary’s House, and the Temple of Artemis. Highly recommend.
Oznur was an outgoing tour guide and I had a lot of fun with her! Short and concise and was able to see everything without it taking forever. She was very nice and I liked having her as our guide!
Oznur was a fantastic guide! She took great pictures, made sure we all saw the sights and stayed together. A+++
Rose was an exceptional tour guide. From our meeting point to the drive, she was all smiles. Making sure we were comfortable. She bonded so well with our 2 year old, secured a surprise cake for our dad’s birthday celebration during lunch, showed us ALL the beautiful parts of her city. 10/10 would recommend touring with Rose (Gül) anytime, anyday. Tej
Our tour guide (Gul-Rose) and driver were very amazing. Super insightful and family friendly. I recommend using her, very good value for your money.
Wonderful Ephesus Tour We had such a wonderful experience exploring the Museum of Ephesus with our guide, Öznur! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and made the history come alive. She explained everything so beautifully and made sure we understood and appreciated the significance of what we were seeing. Öznur was also so patient and attentive to our group, and you could truly tell how passionate she is about the history and culture of Ephesus. She made the experience enjoyable, interesting, and memorable for all of us. We highly recommend Öznur to anyone visiting Ephesus — she was an absolutely wonderful guide and made our visit truly special! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great experience from the time we were picked up from our hotel and throughout the tour of Ephesus. Rose was a lovely tour guide - very knowledgeable and accomodating.
We’ve had a wonderful tour experience with our tour guide, Rose. From hotel pick to the Ephesus tour, everything was perfect. Water was provided along the tour and we stopped at a beautiful little restaurant for lunch. Such a beautiful day we will remember for a very long time as we celebrate 30 years of marriage.
The day ran very smoothly, Gul was a great guide, very informative, friendly and helpful throughout the day.
Rose was very good, informative on the history, and friendly for our tour. She made sure we had sufficient time at each stop.
We had a private tour in Ephesus and Nafia our guide made it unforgettable! She was extremely knowledgeable and fun! We avoided long lines and went to the best places with the limited time we had! Amazing family memories!
Oznur was great. Filled our entire day minute to minute so we got as much in as we could
We had such a great day with Öznur! She was knowledgeable, fun, and clearly loves what she does. Even at the end of a long, hot day when our whole group was getting tired, she was still smiling, enthusiastic, and making sure we had a great experience. Her energy never dropped, and it really made a difference. She answered all of our questions, shared interesting stories everywhere we went, and made every stop along the way more meaningful. We left feeling like we learned a lot while having a genuinely enjoyable day. We’d highly recommend this tour, and especially Öznur, to anyone visiting the area!
Ozzie was our tour guide and she was great! Fun experiences that were unique.
Ozzie was a great tour guide. I would suggest you have her adjust your tour slightly to gear it towards kids if you are able to. We were in a large group and she met everyone’s needs!
Great tour!!! Ozzy was amazing!!
Oznur was incredible. She was very nice, informative, and a great guide all day long. Definitely would recommend!
Great day of sightseeing and local shopping around Turkey!
Excellent and our guide Ilhan was excellent. And took time to explain everything. 👏👏👏👏 from all of us
The tour guide Nafia was knowledgeable and very accommodating. We saw everything listed on the tour and more. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Kusadasi.
Rose was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and customized our tour to the groups requests. She did a great job!
Our guide Rose was outstanding and very knowledgeable. She was also extremely accommodating and friendly. We had 12 people and she navigated us beautifully.
What an amazing experience!!! Nafia was our guide and was so knowledgeable! Ask for her to get the best tour!!!
Oznur was an awesome guide. It was my daughter and I. She was on time and was full of history information. She made sure we got to the places with little people at first so our time was utilized the best. The terrace houses was something to see! Lunch was wonderful and also the turkist delight store. I was a great hot day.
The experience was very good! The tour guide, Oznur was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about the places, tour, and history of Ephesus. They gave multiple reminders about safety and the best times to go to places so we were not standing in lines! Excellent! Highly recommend!
Oznur was delightful, very professional and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful trip to Ephesus and the other historical sites. I would absolutely recommend this tour and you would be fortunate if you had Oznur as your guide.
It was amazing, our tour guide Gül quickly took us through all crowds, took nice pictures and gave useful tips.
Ilhan was very kind and knowledgeable. He provided us with lots of care when someone felt not well and also went at our pace.
