I kept wondering did I forget to pay for something. What a value. Clean private van with dedicated driver and guide. Lori was off the charts good. We talked about what we wanted to see and she made sure we saw it. We could have done more, but we were getting tired. Lori really knows her stuff. She loves Turekie and it shows.

Fatih our guide was excellent. We would recommend his tour. He was very knowledgeable and willing to change as the day went along.
Ezra was an excellent guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable and tailored our tour to suit our needs. The lunch was very good and the driver was great also. Great value for the cost. I highly recommend the Ephesus tour and ask for Ezra!!
Be prepared to walk. Way too hot on our visit. But bus was fabulous…clean & air conditioned. Goksu was a wonderful guide—so knowledgeable and flexible to our group needs.
We had the absolute BEST time with our guide Murat!!! This is a man who knows his history and made our experience come alive with his interesting historical facts and stories about each site. Our 10yr and 14yr old sons were mesmerized as were we learning about ancient Ephesus and its history. We are highly considering coming back to Turkey to explore more with Murat as he is one of the most knowledgeable, interesting and fun tour guides we have ever had !
Absolutely wonderful. Burack was our guide and he was so professional and personable. He shared so much history with us. He took us to the main attractions first to get ahead of the ship crowds and stayed with us in lines to ensure our safety. He gave us privacy at The Virgin Mary's house and gave us all the time we wanted. He then took us through some shopping. The Ancient City of Ephesus, Celcius Library, Odeon,, St Johns Basilica. He took us to a wonderful outdoor venue for lunch. We watched rug weaving, now I understand why carpets are so pricy. It was a wonderful day in a beautiful country with an exceptional tour guide. We got even more than we had hoped for out of this tour. Well worth the money.
This was a great day with the family - Nigal (not the correct spelling) and the bus driver did a great job. Very thorough and well planned
My husband and I had the best time on this specific tour. Unfortunately we are handicapped and there were a lot of things we could not do, but our driver and Burak did a wonderful job with adjusting to our needs. We had such a good time communicating and learning new things on this tour and our tour guide was very informative and educated. He was very kind and respectful and because the walkways were very bad he always offered his arm so I would not fall. Both the driver and the tour guide were very much gentlemen. We would highly recommend this company as we had the best time. Our tour guide also took our video camera and did a personal tour for the places We could not walk to because of our disabilities. They both went above and beyond.
Leyla was an excellent guide! She made sure we had "tour" time as well as time on our own to explore. She was very knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed our visit to Mary's house in edition to ancient Ephesus. We highly recommend this tour.
I took a tour with this company, to effesus, as a solo traveller, with mehmet the guide, he was so professional, very knowledgebale, i really enjoy the time with him. The tour was great. Do not hasitate to book with this company
Mehmet was an amazing guide to visit the old city, we were 2 couples in the tour, met in the morning saw few places had a very nice lunch at a local place then did more sight seeing. It was a much more interesting visit than using an audio guide or being with a big group! being only few allowed us to ask questions and interact with Mehmet turning the visit into conversations about the sights, culture.. I highly recommend to use a guide to visit these places and learn all the things that are not on paper! They also helped us find a guide in Istanbul that was as good! Very friendly and responsive agency, prices are fair not like other agencies we contacted!
It was a fantastic experience.5 Star from begininning to the end.We were picked from the hotel punchually.Mehmet was great.Very knowlagable and answere all our questions.Elf was also extremely helpful.I recommend them to anyone visiting Turkey.
We had an amazing tour with our tour guide Mehmet. He was very friendly, considerate and knowledgable. He paced our tour very well and we saw everything we wanted to in a the short time we had available. An excellent service which I highly recommend.
We were a group of 5 in Kusadasi for a few short hours off a cruise ship. Having previously booked with this company, I was very happy to use them again. And I am so glad I did! We were met straight off the ship with no delays. Our driver and very comfortable van was located a short walk away and we were off on the short drive to Ephesus. It was a challenging tour because of the extreme heat and it was a marvellous idea to supply us with umbrellas. Actually, it was a lifesaver! Our tour guide, Mehmet, was a most polite, entertaining and knowledgeable leader. He knew how to pace our tour, given the heat. Likewise, our driver was extremely safe. We had only a few hours in port and they were able to time our experience so we heard and saw everything we had requested without rushing. Watching large groups being herded around the site may us realize how fortunate we were. This is definitely the way to experience tours in ports, using smaller companies who have genuinely interested guides.
We highly rate Ephesus Pvt Tour. Isiq, our guide was absolutely great. Her knowledge and pleasant personality was very easy going. She gave us helpful tips besides the tour.
This was disappointing in that the amount of Biblical input was poor for an advertising Biblical Tour. The experience was excellent for transport and ancient knowledge
I booked a group of 15 to do a tour of Ephesus. Their boat arrived late and Gokhan (our tour guide) went ABOVE & beyond and contacted the port to find out where they would dock and met them right there! We were able to customize the tour to liking of the group's leader and they even brought headsets and umbrellas because it was the PEAK of summer heat! Our Tour Guides chose a wonderful spot (off the beaten path) for lunch! They really made it an exceptional day for my tour group. I will definitely be using their services again with my next group as well.
Loved my time with Dilek Aydeniz! She was cheerful, respectful and very knowledgeable. I felt so taken care of and special. I highly recommend this tour!
