Aybi was wonderful. She was quite knowledgeable and very pleasant to be with. Exceeded our expectations. Lunch was fun, rug store was wonderful and I bought a rug! I would strongly recommend this tour!
Mehmed was our tour guide and he has been very good and knowledgeable. Nice and flexible schedule. Waited for us although our ship came in port late.
Our tour was incredible and Mehmet was fantastic! The seven hour tour was well worth the cost . We were very comfortable and there was only three of us. Best for all types of groups!

Cemal was the excepțional. He was Kind for my 3 Kids. He helped me a lot. Also give many information
The day tour included Ephesus, the temple of Artemis, a ceramic production place and gallery, a leather products store, and lunch. The sites were excellent. Our guide, Cemal, was very friendly and knowledgable. All in all, an excellent day tour.
Our excursion to Ephesus was one of the highlights of our cruise. The ancient city is absolutely breathtaking, with impressive ruins that are incredibly well preserved. Our guide CEMAL knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history , making the visit both interesting and enjoyable. The organization of the tour was excellent, with enough time to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area. Ephesus is a fascinating place full of history and culture, and this tour is definitely worth it!
We did a full day tour to Virgin Mary's House, Ephesus, the history there is incredible. Amazing, then went to a leather factory, saw afashion show, stunning leather goods to buy, stopped off at a Turkish Deilight shop and tasted tea and Turkish delight. We then headed off to have buffet lunch, all inclusive, except for your beverages. Last stop was Artimis, our guide for the day was lovely Cayda, English very good and also explaong the history along the way helps so much.
Muy buena experiencia, recomendable 👍🏻
Adam was a very interesting guide and he kept us very well informed
The tour was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide , Honour, was quite brilliant. His knowledge of the history and many stories about Ephasis was, without question the best that I have encountered (in fact we told him that he should write a book ) This could either be included in the cost of the tour or as an add on. We certainly would have gladly paid extra for one! All in all , a delightful experience, in the presence of a master of Ephasis.
Liza was the best! She made our introduction to Turkey an unforgettable experience. Thank you Liza!!
Fatima did an incredible job as our guide today. She was right on time and so knowledgeable about Ephesus and the surrounding areas. We went for a nice Turkish lunch and then a authentic rug producer and store. They showed us how they make silk and the rugs. Highly recommended
Was perfect,everything! PERFECT TOUR GUIDE
It was a wonderful day at ephesus with Ceyda. We are so lucky to have her as our tour guide. Perfect day thank you so much Ceyda and turkey tours company
From the moment we exited the ship till the time the tour ended it was above and beyond our expectations. First rate and extremely professional. The guide had a driver and he was extremely knowledgeable. Lunch was amazing. This tour was the one I thought would be my least favorite and it was my most favorite. So happy we got to see Turkey.
What a tour! It had absolutely everything! Visit to Ephesus, ceramic factory, Mary’s house, mosque, sirince village, leather factory, Turkish delight, lunch and much more - Chem was an incredible guide - honestly I have never had a tour which had so much included- excellent value - this is the tour to do for a yeast if the rich Turkish culture and heritage
We had a wonderful time. Our guide Mahmet was very knowledgeable. It was great.
Great experience. Tour guide was very informative and patient with us. We would recommend this tour. Great for everyone.
Ceyda was brilliant can't praise her high enough She pointed out all interesting items her knowledge had no bounds
Our tour was fantastic. Ephesus ruins are the most extensive I have ever seen. We really enjoyed our guide Cemal as he was so knowledgeable and accommodating. We thought the carpet and ceramics were beautiful and enjoyed learning about them. The whole tour was fantastic. One of the best tours we have ever had. Thank you so much. Terri
Adam was a wonderful guide making this our best tour during our cruise. He was knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and most importantly, he was friendly, helpful, and cheerful. Best tour guide on our cruise.
The hotel we were at helped is find this tour. All the information that our guide gave was worth the money we paid. The guide was a great person and was very personable. You won't be sorry if you gone this tour.
We had a great time visiting the Artemis temple, Ephesus, and the Ephesus museum. Ceyda was informative and knowledgeable at each location. She adjusted the trip according to our interests. Definitely recommend taking this tour.
CEM was an agile tour guide who unfortunately had to deal with a miscommunication between our hotel receptionist with regards our request for a private tour. He had to deal with my dissatisfied customers and was quite professional. He then arranged for us to have our own vehicle and accommodated our requests to the best of his abilities. He is also quite knowledgeable of the historic sites and explained it in such an interesting and clear manner. One request. The place where we ate did not serve the region well. It wasn’t a good representation of how delicious the cuisine of the place is. That was quite unfortunate.
This is a great tour for turkey. The tour guide is nice and professional. Our tour cancelled yesterday, he helps us to arrange a wonderful tour quickly . And he has a very cute kid named “Garfield”, is a cat.
Good pick up. Great driver and guide. Very knowledgeable. Saw plenty of wasn’t overpowered by too much detail. Great day.
I really loved the tour. Very personal and informative and plenty of time for questions which were answered with great patience. Overall a lovely tour. With het guide and driver!!!
An overall fascinating experience in one of Turkey's most interesting site. Ceyda provided a rather complete tour which neither neglected anything notable nor felt rushed. The information provided was satisfactory and enabled contextualisation. Visiting in low season allowed for a rather uncrowded visit although the weather can be a bit cold when cloudy.
The experience was truly beyond words! 🌆 Cemal made our day even more memorable by sharing his vast knowledge of historical and ancient details throughout the day 🏯. I really enjoyed the day, and his explanations about the archaeological and historical past of the region were fascinating! He even helped us capture the moment by taking amazing photos of us 📸. We really enjoyed the day, and it was totally worth it! 👍 Thanks, Cemal, for being an awesome guide! 👏
Cemal our guide, made our experience very interesting, he explain a lot in detail and answered all our questions. Great experience now I’m returning with a lot of historical knowledge. Thanks a lot.
The Ephesus tour was absolutely fantastic. We had the best tour guide and driver. This was an unforgettable experience, and by far the best tour that we have ever taken. Turkey is beautiful, and the history just incredible. Don't miss the opportunity to have a private guide to explain it all. Highly recommended!

Erdam, our guide for Ephesus was very informative. The tour was detailed and not rushed. The carpet making tour was very educational.
A private tour of Ephesus that exceeded all expectations. We visited the House of the Virgin Mary, a place filled with peace and spirituality that deeply enriched the experience. Our guide, Cemal, provided outstanding explanations: clear, concise, precise, and highly professional. We also enjoyed an insightful visit to traditional ceramic art workshops and handmade carpet exhibitions, learning about these remarkable crafts. An exceptional tour, an unforgettable route, and guidance that elevated every moment. Everything was truly extraordinary. Highly recommended, and special thanks to Turkey Tours for their excellent punctuality and outstanding service.
It was a really nice one-day trip to It was a really nice one-day trip to Ephesus from Kuşadası — the site itself was amazing and definitely worth seeing. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. However, it’s a pity that the tour company didn’t inform us in advance that after visiting Ephesus we would also be taken to a carpet factory, a pottery factory, and a sweets factory. These stops took much longer than the actual visit to Ephesus. It was interesting, but honesty should come first. — the site itself was amazing and definitely worth seeing.

Very interesting and informative tour. Ceyda was an excellent tour guide with plenty of knowledge and humour. Would highly recommend the full day tour

Great day great company grat travel guide and very informative. Would highly recommend thank you for a great day hope to be back soon
Very good explained everything. Her knowledge & English very good. Patience also good checking in on the group.at collection points
my husband and I really enjoyed the half day tour of Ephesus. The English speaking tour guide was excellent ( sorry I can’t remember name) and the half day with a nice lunch was perfect. The tour of Turkish rug education center was interesting with an acceptable amount of buying pressure. Signing up for the tour was very easy and in person and the cost was very reasonable ( 65 euro) considering buying tickets at the gate is 40 euro. Small bus transport was so nice. Would highly recommend
Ceyda, the tour guid is really nice, friendly, helpfull and showed us the best of the best. Highly recommended! Give her a try!
It was a wonderful day. Tour guide ceyda was very kind and informative and driver serdar was good aswell. Thank you for everything ceyda, i recommend this agency and tour guide ceyda to everyone

Cemal Our tour of Ephesus, led by the exceptionally knowledgeable guide Cemal, was outstanding. He shared rich insights and historical details, bringing the ancient city's grandeur to life. Highlights of the tour included: - The impressive Library of Celsus, with its beautifully preserved facade - The grand Great Theatre, offering a glimpse into Ephesus's vibrant cultural past - The site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - Exquisite mosaics and well-preserved streets of the ancient city Cemal's expertise and engaging historical knowledge significantly enhanced our experience, providing context and answering questions with ease. The tour was well-organized, with a comfortable pace and smooth logistics, including convenient transportation. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts visiting Turkey. 👍🇹🇷
