My husband Tieh and I NormaJean Chin booked this tour . I’m so very pleased ! Ali was our guide he was early at port we were first to Mary house on top of beautiful mountain. We are elderly husband can’t hear well I have hard time walking. He took his time assisting me making sure I did slip and fall . Very professional and educated us about all the sites . I asked if we can skip one site and they did and returned us safe to port . I give Ali high marks very good guide.

Yavuz was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. You won’t be disappointed with Yavuz as your tour guide.

Yavuz was an amazing tour guide. I highly recommend him for a great, fun, educational tour.

Selda was our fabulous tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of all the best of Ephesus, Turkey. She was so patient and willing to make our trip catered to our specific requests. She was friendly and delightful. We highly recommend Viator and Selda!

Selda was an amazing tour guide. We had such a great day with her and learned a lot about the area and traditions of Turkey.

Our tour guide Selda was so great, friendly made our tour easy and fun! She was very charming and knowledgeable, it was 4 of us and we highly recommend her!

Expert tour, patient and knowledgeable

Yavuz was fantastic! We saw all the things we wanted to see and he was so thorough, kind, and helpful! I will be recommending to all my friends and clients.

Fabulous tour of Ephesus with Inan. The scale of the site is immense and is only going to get bigger. Incredible original structures and the roads themselves are amazing on their own. Inan gave us great background to all of it as well as context for the surrrounding area.

Yavuz gave a great tour to our small group off the cruise ship.. We met him in a convenient spot right outside the port entrance and had a short walk to the van. The weather did not cooperate and rained most of our tour but Yavuz was great about giving breaks and considerate to the older members of our group. Would recommend EphesusShuttle for a cruise port stop in Kusadasi and Yavuz for any tour he offers. He is well educated on Turkey's history, economics and political history

Yabuz is an excellent guide, very informative and knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. Would definitely recommend this trip and guide.

Very good day with Yazaub! We learned so much about each site as well as the country.

Yavuz did a great job in the rain giving our tour special historical emphasis. Great tour!

The tour was excellent our guide Emma was very interesting she explained the history easy that we understood everything Definitely use this company. The air conditioner vehicle with water was great.

Our tour was outstanding. Alex, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, was flexible with our needs and made sure that we had a memorable experience. I cannot speak more highly of this tour and highly recommend it.

Excellent experience with our guide Aleyna , we spend a very good Time visiting Ephesus. I highly recommend .

Ekim was an absolute treasure. He was completely informed regarding each and every site. But more importantly he was very attentive and helpful with my wife who had fractured her ankle a week before our trip and had to wear a boot. He took her arm and carefully guided her through each of the sites and their associated ruins. We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and caring guide. I would not hesitate to recommend Ekim to anyone looking for the ultimate guide.

Great tour guide, very knowledgeable, Cem is a pleasure to do a tour with. He was very accommodating for the fact that one of us had some mobility issues. A real joy to do business with. We highly recommend.

Nejdet was our guide. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We so appreciated what we learned on the tour. Pace was great. I strongly recommend Curio and guide Nejdet for your tour.

Nejdet was a great guide. He gave us a great deal of information about Ephesus and the surrounding areas. We had a private tour so we enjoyed spending the day learning from him.

Had a great day with this company. Easy meetup off ofnour Cruise Ship. OUr guide was very informative. Took time at each site. Made adjustments to avoid a line early at Mary's House and gave us great recommendations for items to purchase and a perfect lunch recommendation at drop off. Driver was also safe and stayed with the vehicle at all times. Would not hesitate to use.

Exceptional guide, Ozge, and great tour. Ozge was a great tour guide who provided information about each of the sites that we visited. We appreciated her spending sufficient time on each site while keeping us on schedule. Ephesus and Mary's House were highlights of the tour. Highly recommend.

The trip was amazing. Tez was perfect! He gave us tons of interesting information. He kept us on track while still giving us time to explore on our own. Lunch was amazing! I would recommend this to everyone!

We spent the day touring important biblical sites with our guide Tez. Tez was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us as we asked many questions and wanted to see many different aspects. We had a great day! Thank you!

We had a beautiful day in Kusadasi! Our guide, Nejdet Kahraman, was fantastic! He was so interesting and incredibly knowledgeable! He gave us plenty of information at each spot - Ephasus, Virgin Mary’s House and St John’s Basilica - and also about Kusadasi and Turkeye! We must give our driver, Mehmet, much praise also. These two men were so welcoming to us Americans coming to Turkeye for the first time! Thank you, Nejdet and Mehmet, for a day we will never forget!

Great tour with Tez. He did an amazing job taking us around, explaining everything and letting us take our time in places he wanted to see.

This experience was absolutely an amazing way to see a great sampling of this port during our cruise. The locations were more than we could expect, and most importantly our guide, Tez, was absolutely amazing.

We did a semiprivate tour to Ephesus with area Aray as our guide. He was exceptionably knowledgeable, personable, and full of energy. He gave us so much information and speaks wonderful English. He’s passionate about history and archeological finds. We highly recommend him and the tour. We went to John the Baptist, Virgin Mary’s home, Ephesus and saw local loom and rug creations.

Olgu was an exceptional guide who is very knowledgeable. We loved using a smaller more personal tour of Ephesus . I highly recommend this tour.

This was a wonderful experience and Tour. Our guide Melih was great. His knowledge of Ephesus and the history was amazing. I highly recommend.

Alex was an incredible and knowledgeable guide, timely pick-up, just enough time to self explore and return to the boat was on time. Overall, an excellent experience and reasonably priced!!

It was absolutely amazing! It was a private tour with Babur (not sure of spelling) as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was excited to share it all with us. He had a great love for the city and it showed. We went to The Ancient City, Virgin Mary's House, and St. John's Basilica.

Tuba was an outstanding guide. Took us everywhere with ease and explained everything. The driver arrived in a large comfortable van which made it very easy for the guide to talk to both of us while driving from site to site. Would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was fabulous. Our tour guide was so informative and answered any questions we had about the area. The lunch and rug factory was wonderful. Touring the religious sites was a once in a lifetime experience.

Our tour guide, Yavuz, provided a lovely personalized tour of Ephesus, Virgin Mary's House, St. John Basilica, and more. He was a wealth of knowledge and extremely helpful and professional. We also stopped at a rug weaver who creates wonderful hand-made rugs. The quality and workmanship is exceptional. We enjoyed the history, the sites and the personal touches. I highly recommend this tour.

We recently had an outstanding private tour guide, Nahide, while visiting Ephesus on a cruise. Nahide is a walking encylopedia about Ephesus and the neighboring area imparting alot of history and other information. Personally, she is intelligent and has a wonderful sense of humor. Thanks to her, we managed to avoid, as much as could, large crowds at numerous site. We both felt we'd love to have Nahide be our guide on any tour we took. We enthusiastically recommend her along with Ephesus Shuttle, the tour company, who assigned her to us.

Easy to find when getting off ship. Very flexible. Saw the highlights. Great guide named Inan. Personable and professional.

Met our guide easily and in a timely manner. Turned out we were the only ones signed up for the tour so we had great service. Guide was informative and friendly. The sights were excellent .

We had an excellent tour of Ephesus and the surrounding area with Ephesus Shuttle Private and Small Group Tours. Yavuz was our guide — he was fun and informative. I highly recommend them and him.

Our tour with Tez from Ephesus Shuttle was PERFECT! We were on a cruise, and I didn't want the short tour of Ephesus that the ship offered. Ephesus Shuttle let us tailor our tour to see exactly what we wanted. Tez was an exceptional guide! He was personable, knowledgeable, and respectful of our wishes. He avoided the groups from our ship and made our excursion an enjoyable experience that we will never forget. I really appreciate that he knew exactly where to stop and stand for the best shots at the places we visited. We are so glad we hired Ephesus Shuttle.

We had a great time, it was more than what we expected, Gonca was a really nice surprise, she speaks very well Spanish and has great knowledge, she taught us many interesting things, she didn’t rush us and gave us plenty space and time to see, explore and take photos. It was a private tour so we were a party of 2, the fee was the right for what we received and the places we visited, the admission fees were included making quicker and easier the entrance. No hidden fees, you get what you select and pay for. We fully recommend this tour, we spent 10 days in Turkey and with no doubt this tour was the top one.

We had a private tour in Ephesus. They picked us up at the airport, took us through the entire tour, and at the end of the day dropped us back at the airport. Everything was excellent, with precise timing and very well-planned logistics. The guide was very kind and extremely knowledgeable; his name is Jorge. It was the best option we could have chosen for our short trip to the city of Izmir.

A great excursion with a fantastic guide. Very knowledgible on all aspects of history and the region. Would easily recommend for family as he was very good with the younger ones 14 and 9 years old.

Kusadasi trip to the ruins of Ephesus was a lesson in history for the family . A UNESCO World Heritage site which mesmerized us Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough.

The driver was on time and very helpful. The mini van was quite comfortable. We were 3 couples and enjoyed the trip and the places visited.

This tour was great and covered so many of the highlights we wanted to see. Our tour guide Ozlem knew just what to do to avoid the lines and busy spots. Ozlem was a book of knowledge. She shared so many great stories. We had the BEST day.

Selda was informative patient friendly and accommodating She moved at our pace We had a large van for 4 of us

I highly recommend this tour as it covers all the great spots you need to know about Ephesus. Especially, the tour guide has a vast experience on the history of the places we went. I don't remember our guide's name (Tasz)? but you know who you are. Great experience for me and my husband.
