Best Ephesus tour imaginible - Ceyla was AMAZING and took such good care of us. It's great to have a former archeologists as a tour guide. We fit so much into one day! Learned so much about Turkey. Tour was exceptionally personable and private. Great Mercedes tour van was an added bonus. Would HIGHLY recommend! Note that admission to some of the sites wasn't included and we knew that going into it. Having some cash on hand will help also.

Superb excursion, wonderful guide, memorable experience. - This was a wonderful experience. We were able to modify our itinerary to include sights we had not seen before. Our guide, Ceyla, was excellent in every way. She was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything clearly in perfect English. In addition, she is a trained professional archeologist. She is very nice and an excellent conversationalist. This was our third tour with Hello Ephesus, and we hope to use them again soon.

Wonderful tour of Ephesus! - Today my partner and I went on the Ephesus Exclusive Tour run by Hello Ephesus. On the tour you have the opportunity to visit the Ancient City of Ephesus (including the Terrace Houses), the Temple of Artemis, the House of the Virgin Mary, and Ephesus Archaeological Museum. Lunch is also included at Heirloom Weaving Centre (where they make amazing Turkish rugs by hand). They are able to cater for vegetarians and vegans - which is great considering how hard it can be to find good options! We couldn't have asked for a better experience touring the area and learning about the history behind Ephesus. Our guide, Volkan Bikmaz, was very knowledgeable and made it a day that we won't forget!

A Wonderful Experience - Our party of 4 was met at the cruise terminal by our guide Arzu. We were all 30 minutes early so we were able to get a head start on the big tour buses and other private tours. Arzu was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. She spoke perfect English so communication was never a problem. Our vehicle was a late model Mercedes Viano van. Very comfortable and the driver (I think his name was Adnan) was very capable and we were very confident in his driving, especially in the twisting roads around the mountains. Everything about this tour was great, from the fantastic Ephesus ruins to the old village of Sirince, Virgin Mary’s house, to the wonderful lunch that was included. We also visited a rug making centre. It was amazing to see how they are made. They had some great rugs for sale but none of us were in the market. All in all a great tour. And less than half the price of the ship’s tour with a 50 seater bus!
