A fantastic trip, with a knowledgeable and well-prepared guide named Erman Uslu. He explained everything to us and gave us plenty of time to look around and take photos. Everything was well-coordinated, and I highly recommend him for your next adventure.

Erman has brought us across this extraordinary archeological site, explaining a moltitude of historic and legendary facts
I had a fantastic time on this tour. Erman our guide did a marvellous job of explaining the history and context of everything we saw. Really brought the old world alive for me.
Erman Üslu was our tour guide for Ephesus and he was very knowledgeable about Ephesus , Izmir, and Turkey in general. He was extremely thorough and very friendly throughout the day. He was also helpful with practical need to know information about our stay in the area.
Erman is an incredible source of knowledge about Ephesus! He’ll place the ruins in a fascinating historical context and describe all that transpired in the region over multiple millennia. Additionally, touring Ephesus in the winter: best idea ever! You get the place almost entirely to yourself… plus the cats.
Arman was a very very good guide! Definitely recommend this trip to people. Ephesus is a must go for people visiting Izmir and interested in history and archeology. The lunch was great too and the timing. Nothing to complain about.
Our trip leader was Erman Uslu. He was so talkative and nice. He explained everything so detail and not boring at all. I would like to recommend this trip when you visit Izmir. It's really worth the money! 😁
My husband and I spent the day on this excellent small group tour and we are truly glad that we did. We covered a lot of ground and learned so much more than we ever would have had we tried to discover these sites and the history on our own. Our guide Erman was great. He was knowledgeable and experienced and answered every question with skill and patience. Highly recommend!
Erman was very attentive and knowledgeable about the places we visited. My mom had some knee and feet pain and he made sure to accommodate and asked multiple times during the trip if she was ok. Highly recommend to both individuals and groups!
My trip to the ancient ruins of Ephesus was absolutely fantastic, thanks to our wonderful guides, Erman and Alfie (I'm not entirely sure on the spelling of Alfie's name, but he was brilliant!). They were both incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the history, architecture, and daily life in ancient Ephesus that really brought the site to life. On top of that, they were super friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun and engaging – even answering all our questions with enthusiasm.
…this was far more than a tour of the archaeological site of Ephesus! Travelling alone, I could not have asked for a better experience. The guides (Alpi and Erman) were exceptionally well prepared, also assisting us with the Greek and Latin inscriptions, and the accompanying activities were very well organized and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
very nice experience, very well arranged, thanks to our excellent tour guide! The admission fee is reasonable considering the difficult traffic situation, I just hope to make it possible to pay the fee by credit card. The duration is good as well
This was a great day tour. Varied experiences and not too strenuous. Our guide Erman was very knowledgeable and had a very good way explaining things.
Great experience, incredible places. Our guide Erman was so nice and knowledgeable, he told us sooo many interesting things! We did the tour in late December, in a very cold day, but the good thing is that the places weren't crowded at all. If you are passionate about history, you shouldn't miss it!
Really apreciate! Erman Uslu made us so happy and share to us a lot of special and beautiefoul places on Efess. A perfect comunnication and understanding. I will reccomand him to all are interested to travel in Turkey.
Erman was our guide for the trip and I have to say he is one of the memorable ones. He is not just knowledgeable but also kindly made proposals about what else can we do in Turkey for our other days of vacation. Also the Turkish buffet place was pretty good. Here is the exact for the tour I booked - https://www.viator.com/en-SG/search/12899P23?mcid=64243
We were very happy with today’s tour to Ephesus and truly enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide Erman was excellent — very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. He shared a lot of interesting information about the ancient city of Ephesus, as well as about the history of Turkey and the land that was once called Anatolia. Everything was explained in a clear and engaging way. The tour itself was very well organized. Besides visiting the ancient city of Ephesus, we also went to a beautiful Turkish ceramics workshop and shop. The quality of the ceramics is excellent, and there is a huge variety to choose from. If someone is thinking about buying Turkish ceramics, we would definitely recommend this place. Thank you very much to our guide Erman Uslu for a great day and a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this tour.
Our guide Erman Uslu was very knowledgeable and engaging, and spoke excellent English. The tour was well paced and very informative. We were driven in a comfortable Mercedes small bus by an excellent driver. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful Ephesus tour with Erman Uslu as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history in a clear and engaging way, which made the ancient site come alive. The tour was well paced, not rushed, and very informative. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this tour,
This visit was amazing as walking through an ancient city is truly a wonderful experience. The length of the visit is enough to get to know the history without being tired. There is not much people so you can enjoy the activity. This activity doesn't require a lot of physical strength, just being able to walk for a couple of hours. Erman is a great guide, friendly, funny and taking really care of his group - he did a tour in two languages 🙌 The restaurant and the tour of the local artisans is the perfect way to close this visit. Can is an excellent driver and very friendly person. Totally worth your time and money. I recommend 👌
Beautiful day in an interesting historical place with a lovely guide and safe driver. Ermen was our guide today and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly - always asked if we had questions, and was always smiling. It’s clear he loves his job and is very professional. Our driver, Mr. Engin, was also cordial and drove safely. We were in good hands. So glad we took this tour today. Absolutely worth it.
Erman was a fantastic and highly knowledgeable guide!!! He was also patient with my questions. Highly recommend to anyone planning to visit :)
Erman was a knowledgeable, funny, and punctual guide. Engin was a calm driver with very smooth and safe driving. Love the whole day trip. Totally recommended.
We had a great day with our guide Erman Uslu who was very friendly and explained everything in detail.
Great trip. Hotel transfer, including lunch. Since there were 8 Spanish-speaking passengers in the shuttle, the Spanish-speaking guide Erman also speaks both English and Spanish. To the attractions, another English group merged, tour together, Highly recommend the English guide Alperen, he is very friendly, educated and courteous, very rich in explanation, halfway to 2 shopping stations.
We had a great time, very interesting visit to Effeso the guide Erman fabulo, helped us in our trip through Izmir!!! Thank you so much for everything we have had a great day....
We had a great guide. Erman has taken care of us and explained things in great detail. It has resolved doubts and helped us in important personal issues for our trip. If I ever visited Ephesus again, I'd probably hire him again.
Very good tour. Erman is very kind, he explained in detail the whole story. Recommended if you are several days in Izmir.
