We had Fusun O as our guide. We were just two in the tour & had a fantastic experience with Fusun. She put in her 100% in giving us a through, informative, historical & friendly tour. She kindly answered all our questions & emphasized the hospitality of the Turkish people & how important Turkey was to her. Fusun could not have done more to fulfilling our expectations as guide & ambassador for Turkey.

This trip was terrific! Seyhan was incredible, adapting the day to our interests and time constraints while showing us great spots for culture and shopping, including an art gallery, bazaar and leather factory. The information he provided about the House of Mary, the Temple of Artemis and Ephesus was interesting and the visits were comfortable and customized to our time and interests. Lunch was delicious, and Serif, our driver was also great!
Seyhan provided an amazing tour of Ephesus! So many beautiful sights and unique experiences!
Seyhan is the best! We had an amazing all day excursion with him from our cruise ship. Serif is also an amazing driver!!!
We had such an amazing day in Kusadasi! Serif was a great driver, and Seyhan could not have been a more incredible guide! He was very flexible and tailored the tour to everything that we wanted to do. We went to a local art gallery, Sirince village, a bazaar, the Temple of Artemis, and more. He was so full of knowledge, incredibly kind, and so accommodating. I could not recommend him more!

One of the most amazing tours I have ever been on, ever! It would not have been possible without our tour guide Seyhan. His knowledge of the subject matter coupled with having grown up in the region, made this tour more interesting and enjoyable. The transportation and ease of moving from place to place made the day all the more enjoyable. I would not bother looking any further for a better tour guide or tour.
Seyhan has been the most informative and educational and enjoyable tour guide today! He is knowledgeable and so helpful! The driver has also been terrific. Seyhan helped us learn about the Turkish culture and way of life amid our discussions throughout the day. I would take this personal tour again! This was better than a group tour! Remember, use this tour group and have a splendid day learning about Turkey and Ephesus!
I had an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. We had amazing Turkish desserts, got a comprehensive tour of the ancient city, and were invited to a fabulous authentic dinner. I highly recommend Onur as a tour guide, he knew everything and was super friendly. I wouldn’t go to Ephesus without booking a tour with him!
10/10 would recommend booking this tour! Our tour guide Onur was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond showing us around!
What an amazing experience! Onur showed us all around and gave us a great history lesson on each please we went. He then took us for lunch at a traditional restaurant for lunch and was extremely friendly and helpful!
We enjoyed a Turkish delight followed by the ruins in Ephesus. We also had lunch at a local family restaurant that had a farm and a weaving school. The guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Had a wonderful half day with Bee who was a lovely guide through the history and splendour of the Ephesus site. Also saw the surround sound Ephesus Experience afterwards. Amazing. Then a marvellous traditional lunch followed by a carpet weaving demo. All together a lovely day with a clever and charming girl to explain everything. i would definitely recommend her tour.
It was a great trip that exceeded our expectations. We would like to thank our dear guide for his interest in us, his wonderful explanations and his restaurant choices that appeal to everyone and his respectful shuttle driver.
I think it may be the ancient city with the largest area I have ever seen. It is an ancient city with perfect library, passages, heating systems and aesthetics. It was great to visit this wonderful ancient city dating back to the Neolithic Age. Thank you Online Travel Turkey
The ancient fountains, library and theater were very impressive. Ephesus, the magnificent and commercial center of the period, never disappointed me. The agency was very attentive and always gave answers whenever we asked. Whatever we needed they met. It was very enjoyable, thank you
Everything was great and our journey was very comfortable. It was a friendly team and a great Ephesus tour. Thank you, it was very nice. The souvenirs we bought are wonderful.

I didn't have much expectations when I took this tour, but I felt from the first moment that I came across a truly experienced guide and an experienced team. After a short journey, we reached Ephesus and I found myself in the unique history of Ephesus with all its magnificence and majesty. I recommend it. It was great.
It is truly worth seeing with its nature and history. My wife and I had a nice experience. If you come to Kuşadası, I definitely recommend this tour. Our guide Fusun was very cheerful and very sweet. Thank you very much, everything was great.
It was one of the best moments of our trip. Seeing Ephesus and feeling the history was an excellent experience. Our guide's beautiful explanation made this experience even better for us. Hope to see you again on my next visit, thank you for everything Online Travel Turkey.
Excellent experience, Öznur the best guide, all the explanations were clear, fun time.
Pleasant guide and a wonderful trip in beautiful surroundings
Comfortable, knowledgeable, and welcoming guide!
I asked for a tour at the cruise port. The Guide greeted us at the exit of the cruise with a plaque with our name on it so we could join the tour without hesitation. It was just my family and I, but they explained each one very carefully. They also cared about the condition of the children in the heat. The ruins of Ephesus were spectacular! I highly recommend the museum because the children enjoyed listening to Japanese audio. It was interesting to see the process of making carpets by hand at one of the stops along the way. This tour was one of my best family memories. He was such an amazing Guide throughout the tour. Thank you very much.
