Ephesus, Mary’s House, Artemis Tour(smallgroup) (Skip The Line)

Great communication and meet up experience! Extremely efficient transportation, personable guidance, nice pacing for all of our requested stops!! Great day with Selcuk, we would highly recommend!!

I went for a day tour with Selcuk and had a great experience at Ephesus and Virgin Mary’s house. The entire experience from the booking to the pick up logistics and the guide (Selcuk) was great. Selcuk historic comments and explanations were amazing. I also appreciated the flexibility of a solo tour and how we could customize. I highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our tour with Selchuk. He made it so easy. he was in touch with us prior to the tour to see what sites were of greatest interest to us. The evening prior to the tour? he gave us simple instructions along with a video where exactly to meet him. The port in Kusedasi while beautiful can be confusing. He attended to our every need and explained everything to us. He was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. highly recommend Selcuk and this tour. A highlight of our trip

What an awesome experience! I requested for an early tour solo and they made it sweet and easy! On time. I had a flight early afternoon and Selcuk made it convenient and extremely posssible! Thank you and we will be back next year for a future tour.

It was an amazing tour Atila is a great guy he knew everything he was nice funny helpful. Truly recommend him

Hanry our guide tour was relly good. He gave us all the acient information with accurate dates. My husband is allergic to garlic so he took really good care of making sure nothing had garlic. Thank you for the wonderful experience

Very nice experience. Selçuk is a high qualified guide. We booked this tour because of the limited level of time (cruise). I was highly impressed by the Efeze site. What a day!! In addition I what to thank our driver Cemal

Selcuk was a great guide. He was accommodating to our family needs and he made suggestions and we went through . He was knowledgeable , shared a lot and answered any questions we had.

We had an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of Ephesus, and much of that was thanks to our outstanding guide, Selçuk, and our excellent driver, Cemal. Selçuk’s knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought every site to life. At the House of the Virgin Mary, he helped us appreciate the spiritual significance of the stone house, the peaceful chapel, the prayer wall, and the sacred spring, all set in a beautiful wooded mountain setting. At the ancient city of Ephesus, Selçuk expertly guided us through Marble Street, Curetes Street, the magnificent Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, Hadrian’s Temple, and the Agora. His explanations made it easy to imagine daily life in this remarkable ancient city. He also pointed out fascinating details in the Terrace Houses, including the stunning mosaics, frescoes, and advanced Roman engineering. The visit to the Basilica of St. John was equally memorable. Selçuk shared the history of St. John’s tomb and the Byzantine basilica while leading us to breathtaking panoramic views. At the Temple of Artemis, he helped us understand how this once-grand Wonder of the Ancient World shaped the history of the region. Throughout the day, Cemal provided safe, comfortable, and professional transportation, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and stress-free. Together, Selçuk and Cemal made this tour educational, enjoyable, and truly special. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting to experience the rich history, culture, and spiritual heritage of Ephesus. Thank you both for an exceptional day!

Had a great time when visiting Ismir. Our tour guide Hande did a great job giving details at all of our stops. Had a great lunch in an open garden restaurant called Obam. Also, our driver Gemal got us to and from safely.

Hande (tour guide) & Gemal (driver) were great! We enjoyed a beautiful day touring Turkey! We all bought pottery that will be a great conversation piece back home in the states. Tried Turkish coffee & apple tea for the 1st time, very cool to try local fare.

The Ephesus/house of Mary was an incredible experience. The downside, however, was that the car we were promised was smaller than the one we booked & I'm quite sure that the agent said the meal is "included" in the package but we ended paying for the meal that we had. But overall the experience was awesome and memorable and highly recommended.

It was great experience, the tour guy English was clear and everything was well arranged. l recommend them to any coming to Turkey for a tour.

Day tour of Ephesus from Çeşme made easy with Selcuk, he provided transportation, tickets and guiding. We don't have much time so only did Ephesus+ terrace houses ( must to see) and local lunch at carpet demonstration place and had chance to see the local carpets. I recommend Selcuk for arranging such a trip.

I had an AMAZING experience on this tour. My guide was knowledgeable and presented the information in a way that was interesting and entertaining. He was considerate and professional, and I would recommend highly. I was a solo traveler and the company and guide worked with me to ensure my safety and satisfaction. I will use them again. Guide: Selcuk. Cetin.

Very good private tour. The guide is kind and knowledgeable. Fluent in English. Vehicle and driver are clean and efficient.

Selcuk was awesome. So easy to understand and very knowledgeable about all the sites. I would recommend him hands down.

Selcuk was so good! We enjoyed our whole experience! Wouldn’t have changed a thing.

We had an excellent experience with Selçuk during our visit to Ephesus. He knows a lot of history and is very accommodating. We reassigned more/less time among stops according our interests, so make sure to discuss the plan for the day to cover your personal interests. Thank you!

We had an amazing day at the Ephesus. They whole process was extremely smooth. The guide was friendly and approachable. He provided useful information and recommended a good lunch spot as well. Our American group definitely enjoyed this excursion and it has our full endorsement.

Very knowledgeable tour guide. It was very interesting and I appreciate how he gave the honest dark parts of history and minority experience without sugarcoating things.

This was an awesome experience! Selçuk was an amazing guide— he knew so much information and was able to answer all of our questions about the sites. He was also very accommodating for our groups needs. Overall, I would definitely recommend, as I did not know anything about the sites going in and it was extremely interesting!

We had a wonderful experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and helped us understand the historical and cultural context. The guide was funny and friendly, and also knew how to tell stories in a way that made the history easy to understand and engaging. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to travel, learn about history, and explore a place with a guide who truly understands the culture and history.

It was a great experience to take a tour to Ephesus with this company. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the tourist attractions and the history behind them. The car was very comfortable. All the staff and the service very professional. I would recommend this trip to my friends. Thanak you :)

One of a kind tour. Selcuk aka No.1 was the best tour guide and highly recommend. Selcuk answered our million of questions and joined in our Aussie humour. Very proficient and informative.

Highly recommended especially for last minute planning, from pick up to drop off was excellent, Our tour guide was Selcuk who had good English! Will definitely book again for other attraction tours.

Worth the price we paid. Loved our tour guide covered every single part with a lot of information. Selçuk was a good tour guide.

We usually choose private tours for the flexibility to customize the itinerary (for example, replacing touristy shopping with another stop) something our private tours in Istanbul and Cappadocia handled easily. Given the price, we were a bit surprised that even minor itinerary changes came with an additional charge. In the end, everything worked out well and we were glad we visited the Basilica of St. John on our own the following day, which allowed us to spend more time with our kids and fully enjoy the views. But we were also glad we could see the Terrace Houses during our Ephesus tour. What truly made the tour worthwhile was our guide, Gozde. With her background in archaeology, she answered our questions about history and religion in depth, took us to a wonderful, authentic gözleme place she has visited since childhood and made the entire Ephesus experience memorable. We would highly recommend her!

My partner and I had a day in Izmir to come see Ephesus, Selçuk was great and informative and we had an awesome time. It didn’t rain

We came from Norway on a business trip, and have a day with Selcuk, he has shown us around Selcuk area. Amazing experience he had us have. Thanks!

It was such a fun and educational tour! Our guide, Gozde, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and she managed everything so smoothly even with the tricky weather. The ancient city of Ephesus is worth seeing while in Turkey. We’d definitely recommend it!

We had a lovely time in Ephesus & Cesme/Alacati/Urla with Selcuk. He is a very experienced tour guide with a vast knowledge and passion for history. He was friendly and was a delight having him as our guide.

Selcuk took us for a wonderful tour of eupheus with stops at local artisans - very knowledgeable about its history and turkey in general - all done in a very comfortable van

The experience was very easy to book and had really friendly staff, our tour guide Hande was very good and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend booking this experience.

Great tour by Sinem and our captian. The food was amazing and Sinem has extensive knowledge of Ephesus and its history. Very accomodating to our elderly members on our tour!

Wonderful trip...great tour guide. Learned a lot about the history and culture of Turkey. Then at Efosus so much detail on the ancient city and how it is being created. Selchuk is friendly, knowledgeable...you won't go wrong with him.

Great day! Learned so much! Small private tour in a luxury van! Selchuk did an amazing job. The house of Mary was a highlight

It was wonderful Ephesus is truly amazing. I have come away with a different mindset of Turkey Celchuk was amazing it is a beautiful country the van that they took us in was very comfortable

Selchuk was amazing the tour of mother Mary’s house and Ephesus was so detailed and perfect. The tour was lengthy and Sal provided us with all the hospitality one would want while on a walking tour. He made it easy and fun for all of us and made sure we all understood what we were looking at. Would 100% recommend and will do this again.

Selcuk was very informative and advised us on all the sites in Ephesus. Very educational and perfect for our small group

Never knew Ephesus was so big! Much better than Pompei which we did last year. Selchuk is an amazing highly knowledgeable guide. The ceramics tour at the end is a must see!!!

Celcuk is a well informed guide. He was excellent and made the visit very relaxing as well as informative. In addition he provided us with suggestions for other activities while we were in Izmir.

Selcuk was an excellent guide and furthermore he gave us some good ideas for other things to do in İzmir. He really seems to enjoy his work.

It was planned at a last minute private tour trip.Tour company was very responsive and provided all answers very quickly. Driver was very good and guide was well experienced. He had spoke in english very well, explained details about visiting sites very clearly and concisely. I will highly recommend them to all travelers but specifically those who wants flexibity with time and do it inna small group or private. Great experience. Thanks

It was a last minute trip and was happy to get it booked. They were very coordial, accommodative and punctual. Guide was very well experienced, spoke english clearly and explained details/ history very nicely. Thanks

We decided our trip to Ephesus last minute & lucked out to have knowledgeable guide . Selcuk was very good & took his time to explain.

Selçuk was super informative and provided a lot of historical facts, mixed with humour! Would highly recommend and thankful for his flexibility in pick up and drop off times.

This was my third time is Ephesus, but my first time taking part in the evening tour with your company. The ancient city in the evening was an enthralling magical experience. Walking under the majestic green pines lining the pathway toward the city’s highlighted marble grounds, columns, ruins and buildings transported me to the past. Our tour guide Selcuk bey was pleasant, polite, patient and extremely knowledgeable gentleman. We look forward to more experiences with the company and our exceptional tour guide.

We took this tour with our guide Selçuk and it was to see Ephesus at night. The site itself is an amazing sight to be seen. A big positive to this tour is Selçuk. He is very knowledgeable about the history and a courteous person.
