Albert was a great guide with so much knowledge to share. Very patient with my mom who was moving slow. Highly recommend a tour with Albert versus a tour bus.

I loved Uygar and Ertan! They were so patient with us and got us so many facts. Uygar is the best true guide I’ve ever met.
Albert our excellent guide was knowledgeable, and very easy to understand. Pick up couldn't be any closer to the ship and ephesus was brilliant. I definitely recommend this tour and you would be lucky to find a better guide.
I had a wonderful day with Mel. She’s knowledgeable, proud of her heritage and interested in others and can think on her feet. She asks the right questions and tailors the experience. I came to Turkey as part of a tour of Greece, but am leaving wanting to see more of Turkey!!
Was a good experience, we received a good information and better expended time knowing hystorical places with clear and fun explanation of tour guide
great tour, perfect length and our guide Seyhan was terrific, knowledgeable, patient, friendly, funny — what more could you ask for? and we learned a lot about Turkish food , art and culture. Thank you Seyhan and Viator!
SEHER was wonderful. She knew so many things and was very courteous She was very attentive to my needs. It was just a delightful experience, especially the pottery. It’s just wonderful

The tour to Ephesus and the Virgin Mary’s house was amazing. The tour was that much better by our guide Seyhan was so knowledgeable and gave us time to really experience everything we wanted.
Tour guide Seyhan and driver were very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Well worth the money and would book again if Seyhan was the tour guide.

Our Guide; SEYHAN Tour: Ephesus Very nice guide. Tour and explanation to details was excellent. Highly recommended
Excellent experience with Seyhan, very informative and helpful throughout the tour. Would recommend to others and would come again!
Seyhan It was beyond expectation Very friendly Knowledgeable
We were on a cruise and didn’t buy an excursion and when we got off we found them, it was a great tour and worth the money. Cheaper than cruise excursions but same experience. Seyhan was amazing, very knowledgeable and sweet.
We spent the day touring Ephesus Temple and the last home of Virgin Mary with our great tour guide Mel. Mel was very personable and knowledgeable. She taught us about the sites we were at very well prepared . She also taught us about some of the Turkish cultures. We had a Turkish lunch followed by learning about how Turkish rugs are made with a demonstration. She took pleanty of time with us explaining and answering questions while being very aware of our time schedule. I would highly recommend Mel’s tour. We were sad it had to end. One of our best days of this trip.
Sude was our guide and she was fantastic. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for this private tour. Thank you so much for the fantastic day
Absolutely excellent, and our tour guide and bus driver were amazing. Sayhen.. best tour guide I ever had, and I’m a travel agent. I will highly recommend this tour.
Seyhan was very knowledge, patient and kind. The experience was very beautiful and chill. You will not be disappointed!
Sayhan was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of the area is incredible. As a group of 10 in a private tour the experience was above par, the included Turkish lunch was the ultimate experience. I highly recommend this tour! You will not be disappointed!
Seyhan was a great guide. We saw a lot in a relaxing time frame. We did the private Ephesus, Mother Mary and Temple tour. Food was great, information and no time wasted.
