Ephesus Tour From Selcuk

Our guide, Ekim, was fantastic! Knowledgable, funny and gave us time to take photos and explore the sites.

Wonderful tour, I enjoyed it. Alperen was the perfect guide; he gave us a lot of historical and fun stuff about the building and inhabitants. He is also eloquent and such an entertainer. Thanks a lot. Of sightseeing, I personally think it is a must-do thing when visiting this part of Turkey.

"Coach tour" -- a potentially terrifying phrase that conjures images of a busted A/C, corny tour guide jokes, and seats with more than one chewing gum stain for some reason. But -- not this coach tour. This coach tour was spectacular. The sights were truly awe-inspiring. The history was fascinating. The sprinter van was nice. But what really made this tour special was our guide, Alpy. He's knowledgeable, personable, funny, and a bunch of other adjectives that are all positive. Truly couldn't recommend this tour more! If you're here, just sign up already. You won't regret it.

Extremely satisfying. Alpren (Alpy) our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and ever so smiling. Managed the trip efficiently as few people on our trip wanted to do House of Virgin Mary at the last minute. We were able to complete on time and enjoyed the overall experience. Will recommend

Alpe is a superb guide. His knowledge and expertise in narrating historical and current facts was remarkable. His high energy made this a fun tour. He also went out of his way to take us to places which my family and friends wanted to go that I was supposed to book. I would highly recommend Alperen.

Great day trip! We had a fantastic day which included Ephesus, the Virgin Mary’s house, Artemis temple, a pottery workshop and Turkish delight store. Alpy Our tour guide was amazing! He was very informative and explained the history of each site in great detail, he honestly made the tour very special and entertaining. Our driver Aykut was very safe and efficient. The included lunch was delicious! Would highly recommend! Great value for money

I've been on many tours in many countries and I can safely say this was the best I've been on in no small part due to our tour guide Alperen. His knowledge was incredible and what's more his enthusiasm and love for the history and culture of this part of Türkiye was infectious! Ephesus is amazing and Alpy really brought it to life as our guide. He was also great for answering all our questions! It was an absolutely fabulous day with lots of history, humour, great story telling and a fine meal for lunch. I really couldn't recommend this tour highly enough and if you are on the fence about booking it, please read this and just do it! Special mention also to our wonderful driver Aykut who kept us safe and got us everywhere we needed to go in good time.

No.1 tourguide. Very good. Very nice. Funny. Cool. Jokes. Knowledge. He has all of it. Speaks English very well, a rare find in Izmir.

We can’t imagine having gone to see Ephesus without such a detailed and engaging guided tour by Alpi. Super knowledgeable! Transport was comfortable and air-conditioned on a warm day. Lunch was also delicious and plenty for what you pay.

Alperen Uğur is an excellent tour guide. His knowledge is outstanding, and he explains everything clearly and engagingly. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. !

Alfie was amazing. Great knowledge of the history of Ephesus. Could answer all the questions. Took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch. Driver of the bus did an excellent job. Felt safe at all times. Very enjoyable and worth the money. We really loved the tour and all the history given to us. Teresa Lord

Our guide Alpe was excellent! Very engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. Very well organized from pick-up to drop-off. I would absolutely recommend!

We went with our infant to the ephesus and house of virgin mary tour with Alpi who was our guide, he explained all the history and mythology in great detail and was very kind, helpful and well spoken. The drive was smooth and everything was on time including lunch and shopping.

We had a great day touring Ephesus and Mary’s House. Our guide Alperen was friendly, informative and entertaining. He made the day with his knowledge plus fun and interesting facts to make the history come alive. We were lucky as the crowds were less than usual on our visit apparently It would be very busy here in peak season. The included lunch was tasty especially the salads and on the Turkish pottery visit we purchased some items. Vans were modern and comfortable and included usb charge ports which came in handy. All in all a great day out.

Friendly, well educated and excellent skills. Highly recommended. Best planing and guiding through the trip provided.

Ephesus has been on my wishlist for a long time and I am glad that I chose this tour. Our guide Alperen is super friendly, knowledge and speaks perfect English (if you joined some local tours you will know what I mean). It was a small group (we only had 10 people) and the pace was very relaxed - we had enough time to explore the ancient ruins. Vehicle was in great condition and very comfortable. Highly recommend!

My family and I enjoyed the Ephesus tour so much! Our guide, Alpi, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history. He shared fascinating insights about the Temple of Artemis, the House of the Virgin Mary, and the Library of Celsus in Ephesus that really brought the sites to life. The driver was excellent — the ride was so smooth that I actually fell asleep both on the way there and on the way back! The tour was well-organized, picking us up and dropping us off right in front of our hotel. Alpi was very patient and made sure everyone was comfortable and on time. The food provided during the tour was also good, and the stops at the ceramics workshop and Turkish delight store — though clearly promotional — were actually quite interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Izmir or nearby areas!

We had an amazing tour to Ephesus from Izmir with Alpi, and we absolutely loved it! He and the driver picked us up right in front of our hotel — everything was so smooth and well-organized from the start. Alpi is an incredible guide. His English is excellent, and he explained everything so clearly and with such depth — we learned so much and truly appreciated the history around us. You can really feel his passion for what he does, and that made the experience even more special. Whether you're into history or just want a hassle-free, enriching day trip, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Perfect for couples, families, or even solo travelers. Thank you, Alpi, for making our day unforgettable!

We had a fantastic guided tour yesterday with Erman. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the ancient city to life with fascinating stories and insights. The tour was well-paced and organized. Highly recommended!!!

The tour guide made the tour so interesting and informative. Thank you Alfie. I looking forward to comeback in few years

Absolutely spectacular day with the best tour guide - Alpi - that we could have had! Heads and shoulders above the rest in super expansive and in-depth knowledge, perfectly bilingual, and super friendly / enthusiastic! I feel like I walked away with a super good understanding of not just the ruins but history of the region as well. Thank you to Alpi and our amazing driver with 20+ years of experience too. Highly recommend this company for any tours!

I would like to express our gratitude to our guide Erman Uslu for a good holiday, for interesting information, for a wonderful time!

Nice experience, amazing place! Erman (our guide), create a perfect atmosphere in the group to complete the efessus experience. Thanx! 100% recomend

Great experience with the tour, specially for our guide Erman who introduced us to the wonderful site of Efeso. He is very friendly and extremely expert guide, every explanation was clear and balanced in term of time so We never got bored at all! He was even available to pick us up even if it wasn’t included in the tour we bought. The tour was well organized, covering all major spots like Maria’s home and Artemis temple. Transportation was great with a fully equipped brand new vehicle. The lunch was good as well, I definitely recommended this tour.

This was my second tour with Erman. He is very funny, knowledgeable, and courteous. We did not book the tour with the House of the Virgin Mary included but he accommodated us during the tour. The Ephesus ruins are beautiful. I would definitely recommend this tour again. Erman also advises you on best places to use the restrooms and shop.

We had a great trip to Ephesus with our family. Our guide Erman was great and very knowledgeable. The drive was smooth. The ancient site was very enjoyable and informative. Must do!

Guided by Erman on a beautiful tour of old monuments. He was very knowledgeable on the history and architecture which provided an immersive experience. Would recommend 10/10

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made this my favorite tour of my vacation. Ephesus was mind blowing. I’d seen pictures but had no idea how incredible it would be. I felt like I was traveling through time.

The city of Ephesus is beautiful and is very well preserved. Bring sun hat, water and sunscreen. Our guide Alperen Uğur was fantastic!

It is a very complete excursion. We went with the guide Erman who explained in great detail and in perfect Spanish the whole history of Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary. Erman is always willing to help and clarify doubts. He's very gentle. They also took us to a house selling leather jackets and one of Turkish delights where they explained the processes of each one.

The visit to Ephesus was very interesting. Our guide was Erman Uslu, who waited for us promptly and kindly in the lobby of our hotel. Erman knows the history of Ephesus as well as the rest of the country, and explained it to us in detail during the tour. 100% recommended!

Erman has been an excellent organizer of the visit at all times. He has been very agile moving the group throughout the park of Ephesus and providing valuable and detailed information.

Pleasant experience during our visit to the site of Ephesus with our guide Erman. It was clear and gave us interesting information about the archaeological site, historical facts and life at that time.

Very interesting visit. Erman, the guide proved competent and flexible to ensure the interests of different travelers. The museum is not included in the tour, but if you can make a visit it is worthwhile for the two statues of Artemis. Beautiful
