Selcuk was a wonderful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, well understood and very flexible. He made our connection and introduction very simple by sending us a video of our meeting point. I wholeheartedly recommend him!!!

We had a great tour today! Our guides, Selcuk, was extremely knowledgeable and provided a great level of history in addition to taking us to all the great historical sites. He is the most informative guide we have ever had and I would whole heartedly recommend this tour!
Excellent experience with Selcuk! Very friendly, knowledgeable about the historical sites and punctual. The bus was very comfortable and our driver Sedat was very skilled. The lunch was delicious!
Touring Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, and St. John’s Basilica with Selçuk as our guide was an absolute highlight of our trip. Having a fully customizable order allowed us to visit the sites at our own pace and beat the heavy crowds. Selçuk brought the ancient ruins to life with incredible knowledge, passion, and local insights. From the stunning Library of Celsus to the peaceful hillside shrine, every single stop felt special. We had a great time and would recommend booking a private day with Selçuk to anyone visiting the area!
We had a wonderful evening with Selcuk at Ephesus. V comfortable ride to and from. Remarkable and stunning location, 2nd only to Rome. Evening trip included Mary’s home, the digital museum, terraced housing, grand theatre and library with light show. We recently visited Pompei and this was more spectacular in several ways. Selcuk really looked after us with his deep knowledge and carefully explained the histories of this extraordinary spot.
He was nice and he was speaking clearly.
The guide was really helpful! His explanation about Efes was extremely informative. Thanks!
Had a terrific time with Selcuk touring Ephasis today. As promised, he tailored our trip to meet our needs. Not only did he inform us of ancient city, we also experienced local rug and pottery locations. We asked for him to pick a local restaurant that was delicious. We only had a short time, but Selcuk made it special.
Selcuk gave us an excellent and informative tour of the historic sites! Would recommend!
Selçuk was a great guide and explained the cities very well! I would completely recommend this.
Both our guide and driver was amazing, they are kind and helpful. We came as an international group and we didn’t have any trouble understanding our guide. I definitely recommend!
Gigi was amazing. Highly recommended for those who want to know about Türkiye. Lovely guide and a wonderful day. I enjoyed the information shared and the recommendations provided.
The trip was well organized and the guide explained the history and facts very well (always with added humor). There was enough time for having a closer look at the buildings and taking photos. The tour also allowed for additional stops, like the House of Mary.
Selcuk was an incredible tour guide. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, snd very professional. The tour of Ephesus was especially amazing.
Highly recommended, good explanation about the history of Ephesus, friendly staff. There where on time and really patience
We enjoyed the excursion in Ephesus also thanks to the guidance, knowledge and explanations of our Mr Selcuk.
Excellent tour, learned a lot about this fascinating historical site. Highly recommend. Atilla was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain it all to us.
We decided to book this tour to visit Ephesus from Kusadasi and we were amazed by the site! Also our guide Gözde enhanced the experience, she took care of us very well, spoke perfect English and was super friendly!

Great tour!! Was so knowledgeable and friendly. The sights were amazing and Selcuk knew all the best spots to see the views and take pictures, spots that we didn't see other guides bringing people to view. Would definitely recommend!!!
We went with Seher, and she was an expert on Ephesus area. We had a great time at Ephesus as well as visits to several small stores to see the local produce. Try to book your tour with her and enjoy your tour.
We have enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide Sila was very informative. The tour was very detailed in each point. Best Ephesus Tour.
It was one of the most enjoyable tours I have ever participated in. We had a great time with our guide.Thank you for everything.
Many thanks for the profesyonel guiding for our Guide Hakan. We are not the first time in Kusadasi, on this trip we finally reached ancient Ephesus. The decision was spontaneous, special thanks to them.
~Selçuk (Rehber&Vip Taş.) Was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and obviously loves the Turkish culture and what he does. He met us on time at our ship. We toured Ephesus with Selcuk providing the history as we went. When we were done, he offered to take us to either a family pottery business or family hand made rug business. We opted for the pottery. Their generational history was amazing! And the experience ended up being one of the major highlights of our entire trip and we saw many things in Greece area. We highly recommend Selcuk ( the person not the place). We also hope that he enjoys his new role as daddy!
A big thank you to Selçuk who made the tour so interesting and informative! 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to learn more about the historical significance of Ephesus. PS remember to stock up on the water!
Selçuk was a fantastic guide. He is very friendly, good humored, and knowledgeable. We really got the most out of the experience thanks to him. The driver was also very good - no issues going there or back.
Absolutely awesome night tour thanks to Selçuk. My husband and I went to Ephesus as part of our honeymoon. We wanted to avoid the heat and crowds, so we decided to do a night trip, as opposed to a day trip, and it was well worth it. Selçuk gave us interesting information as he guided us around. He was patient when we asked for more details and took awesome photos of us. A driver picked us up from our hotel which was also awesome. Can’t recommend this enough!
The most amazing educational and moving tour of Ephesus house of the Virgin Mary and Sirince. Our tour guide Selcuk Cetin was simply the best. He had an incredible vast knowledge of the history and culture of not only the tour but Turkey and the Turkish people. My daughter and I were so happy to have spent the day with him!
We had a private tour guide with Selçuk. He was amazing and did a great job explaining Kusadasi. We went to see pottery and how they created their rugs. My family and I enjoyed everything. If we ever come back we will definitely get another tour by him. I highly recommend him. Thanks again for making a memorable trip!
The trip was great and we had a great guide to take us around. If you’re looking for an amazing tour guide then look no further.
Our tour guide Hanry was extremely knowledgeable. The information he relayed around the history of Ephesus was amazing and I would really recommend this amazing tour.
We had a private tour with Seher. Seher was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites and so helpful when we wanted to take pictures or just rest because of the heat. We had a great time and we're taken care of very well.
great service, highly recommended. comfortable bus, interesting storytelling and cheerful guide with great english!
Amazing tour service! I had the pleasure of booking my tours with this company and was extremely surprised how well they planned by Ephesus tour from Bodrum. They provided an amazing Maybach sprinter, great driver and very knowledgeable tour guide. A very professional service and reliable. For people with no knowledge of Turkey, they made me feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend using them for any future tours in Turkey.
Ephesus and Pammukale have been on the list to visit ever since we have seen pictures of the Roman ruins and the travertine pools ! In a foreign county, an efficient guide makes all the difference ! We got Selcuk’s reference from a friend who had visited before . Working with him about trip details, cities where we could stay, arrangements were all extremely smooth. The car provided for the trip was amazing comfortable as the pictures he had sent before. During the Hierapolis tour, he guided us by climbing up a hill to get a beautiful overview of the place before we learnt about the history. He never rushed us and patiently waited. The travertine pools were so comfortable and fun to wade in ! A fantastic visit made even better with Selcuk 🙂
We had a really good day with a spanish profesional guide. We could learn a lot of the history. We recommended them. We booked all before the trip and they prepared all. Thanks for everything to our guide Hakan.
Everything perfect, punctuality, driver, guide in Spanish, visits made, maybe you could include the visit to Maria's house but all great
