Very nice and informative. Burga showed us all the places and informed us about all the history of the places here

Our guide was very knowledgeable & informed. He was also very friendly & kind. Our driver was great too.

The tour was more than expected. The guide was kind and made sure we understood the history and culture of the Area. The walk around Epehsos was relaxed and packed with information. The lunch was very good and the carpet place was very interesting.

Our guide Seyhan was great, very knowledgeable and happy to help. Ephesos was amazing and the cooperative where they make carpets was a great surprise. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide was simply AMAZING. I am a person who does not normally like tours. I don’t find them good. But this one was by far the best. Our guide Haken Senyen was outstanding. His knowledge, his personality, his engagement with us was a 10+++++++++. I would recommend him to everyone. Our day was complete because of him. Having lunch was him was so fun. GREAT GREAT GREAT DAY!!!!

Wonderful experience! I never knew how beautiful and welcoming Turkey could be. Our guide Hakan Senyen was amazing and provided wonderful background information on all things Turkey! Our Ephesus tour was fantastic and would highly recommend this professional and friendly tour!

Our tour of Ephesus was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly passionate about the history of Ephesus. They brought the ancient city to life by explaining not only what we were seeing, but also the stories, people, and events that shaped this remarkable place. It made walking through the ruins feel like we were stepping back in time rather than simply looking at ancient stones. The organization of the tour was excellent, and we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to take in the incredible architecture, history, and scenery while also getting answers to all of our questions. Ephesus itself is breathtaking, but having such a knowledgeable guide made the experience so much more meaningful. If you are visiting Turkey, I highly recommend taking this tour of Ephesus. It was informative, fascinating, and genuinely memorable. Five stars without hesitation! This is an experience our family will be talking about for a long time

We enjoyed touring as a small group of 4 very much. We were able to ask questions, take breaks as needed, and interact with our guide Ismail in a more personal way than on a bus tour. I would definitely recommend this tour experience to my friends! Thank you!

Great value with a knowledgeable guide

The experiences was fantastic! Our guide Mr. Ekrem was kind , pleasant and knowledgeable, able to make the trip fun, relaxing and also educational! Bath was heaven! But bring a bikini! No stress of missing the ship - perfectly on time.

Ekrem was a lovely guide. Very knowledgeable, and kept us both entertained and educated.

Best excursion . Guide was very knowledgeable about the city.

Loved our time in Turkey. Our guide gokche was so helpful. Adapted to our personal interests and needs. Very informative, pleasant and a great tour guide. I loved our special Turkish lunch. The food was delicious. A special day. So much fun! Highly recommend.

Our guide did an outstanding job of explaining and showing us the area. She was punctual, pleasant, knowledgeable and a great guide. Couldn’t ask for more.

Ismail has been amazing - friendly and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot and had a fabulous time. The driver was very safe and courteous. I would highly recommend this tour!

Ismail is a ROCKSTAR!! Super knowledgeable and fun!! Transportation 10/10. It was a seamless day! And we loved it with our group of 7!

Wemet the tour guide, Bugra, direct from the cruise ship, with our names on the sign, and walked us to our waiting A/A transport, who stayed with us all day, we visited Ephesus as a couple with our guide, and the attention to detail and information given was amazing. We were able to move our itinerary around and we visited a few other stops we requested, This trip could not have been more perfect for us, the ease of everything, and personalised details were fantastic, I highly recommend the company, and in particular our guide, request him if you can

We enjoyed our tour. Selcuk Kaya was our guide. Selcuk was very knowledgeable and provided great detail during the tour. He provided great knowledge of each place we visited. The only thing that we took issue with was after lunch, which was very good. The Turkish government has subsidized schools to carry on the tradition of hand made carpets. After lunch we were greeted by a man who took us through a school where they show you how the carpets are made traditionally, double knots, silk, wool, cotton, all very interesting. Then they bring you into a room and the sales pitch begins, carpet after carpet are rolled out as they discuss prices and free shipping. If you’re in the market great, otherwise inform them up front you are not interested in purchasing a carpet!

Great experience with Emine and great food

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with VIP Ephesus Tours! Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end, making our visit to Ephesus truly unforgettable. Our tour conductor, Emine, was fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive to every detail. She made the history and stories of the ancient sites come alive and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire tour. The sites themselves were breathtaking, and the experience was made even better by the excellent food provided by the company. Everything was fresh, delicious, and a wonderful taste of Turkish cuisine. From the organization and transportation to the historical sites, food, and especially Emine’s outstanding service, everything was perfect. We highly recommend VIP Ephesus Tours to anyone visiting Ephesus and looking for a memorable, comfortable, and well-organized experience! ★★★★★

Our guide Emine was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. A very complete tour of Ephesus. We were very surprised of the food that was included. It was really tasty and abundant.

Selçuk Kaya is amazing. Great tour guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. He showed us around Ephesus, brought us to an incredible carpet house, took us for a great lunch, and a relaxing time at the Turkish Hammam 10/10

We had the most amazing experience in Ephesus/Kusadasi with our guide, Cetin. His knowledge of the area was top notch. Our first stop was at the home of the Virgin Mary. Even though we aren’t Catholic, the area held a place of reverence for our small group. The ruins of Ephesus were stunning and awe inspiring to say the least. We finished off the tour with a delightful garden lunch of Turkish fare and a quick tour of the rug making facility. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the rugs being woven by local artisans. We give this tour 5 stars and highly recommend!!

Chetin was fabulous! This was our favorite tour of our trip.

We had an excellent tour guide. Who explained everything exquisitely well. Extremely knowledgeable. His name is Ercument Ozden I give him five stars excellent

Our guide Selcuk Raya was very easy going yet very professional. He explained history of the House of Virgin Mary before we got there so we can fully enjoyed the place, and exploring Ephesus with Selcuk took us back in time in Roman era. I highly recommend him and I will definitely recommend to my family and friends. Thank you Selcuk!

Had a great day with Selcuk! Very knowledgeable & arranged the day to make sure we included everything we requested. Highly recommend!

Selcuk was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. The ancient city of Ephesus itself is fascinating and his ability to recount the history and answer our questions was incredible. The included lunch exceeded our expectations! Also - Turkish baths were an awesome experience!

Selcuk was a great guide. He made us feel so welcome and took his time with us. We threw a wrench into the schedule and he was more than accommodating. Book with him!
