Such an amazing tour! - It was an amazing experience for me and my family! First we were welcomed by our guide at the port and we went to the house of Mary with a car that just arrenged for us. Then we went to the ancient city of Ephesus and there our guide informed us about the ruins and explained the rich history that the place has. We litteraly loved everything! Our last stop was the place called Temple of Artemis (One of the seven wonders of Ancient World) Altough the weather was little bit hot, i can say that it worthed! Everything was perfect, you should definitely try this tour and the agency.

Wonderful family trip to Ephesus - Wonderful tour of Ephesus and lunch. The driver and tour guide picked us up from our resort hotel in Kusadasi. We communicated on WhatsApp prior to arrange pick up time. We rode to Ephesus where we did have to purchase our tickets for the Ephesus archeological site for 40euro per person. Our guide Ogulcan was great and so friendly! We walked around the site and the guide explained the history of the different structures. The tour was very informative. Then we went to lunch which was included and then had a tour of the carpet cooperative. No pressure to buy any carpets. Tip: Ephesus is very crowded on the cruise ship days. Bring a wide hat brimmed hat and sunscreen. The marble paths are very slippery, sturdy shoes are need

Awesome day exploring! - We enjoyed a lovely detailed tour from our very nice, and knowledgeable guide, Bihter who is from the area. She shared her love of history with us. I'm a huge history fan and loved the history part of the tour. The tour included a food tour where we bought some olives and sauces. A fashion show where u can buy leather coats etc. Which was a super fun experience. She chose an excellent place for lunch! Highly recommend to take a tour with Bihter. She makes the trip so fantastic!
