Amazing day!! - Alex was fantastic and provided a tour at the pace our group wanted! He was very accommodating with how long we wanted to stay and truly customized our tour to what we wanted! The ceramics and rug stops were both presented to us but without pressure and we’re glad we chose to do both! Amazing artistry in both places and zero pressure to purchase anything. We’re super happy we chose this tour company and would 1000% book with them again!!

Best way to see Ephesus? Ephesus Shuttle!!! - Seeing Ephesus from Kusadasi is a must! The ancient city once home to over 250,000 people is absolutely breathtaking.
We have seen it a couple of times, so I can give you two pieces of advice.
#1 - start early to beat the crowds and the heat. Every minute counts.
#2 - do it with Ephesus Shuttle! We always book with them and they always provide reliable and fabulous service. We did a private tour for only the two of us and it was fantastic again. Thank you, Selda!

Friendly informative guide definitely made this a must tour - Our guide Orkun Is very friendly and outgoing.
It was his main goal to make everyone comfortable and he was open to suggestions on what to do during the tour.
We appreciate the few suggestions that he gave us. For where to eat and buy souvenirs.
He also made it very clear that we were not forced to buy anything along our stops.
Also, when we were walking through the bazaar, he asked us to stay close to him, and to not engage with any of the vendors to protect us from the aggressive Sales of the vendors .
The tour itself was done, very efficiently and informative.
He was also very conscientious to make sure that no one was lagging behind and was very patient with our group.
We also appreciate the professionalism of our driver.
He always seem to be right there when we are ready to carry on from our stop.
It was also a nice gesture to provide water when we first got into the vehicle.
Beware the area is extremely busy.

Amazing tour slightly spoilt by impromptu fashion show - The tour was fantastic, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke fantastic English. This would have easily been 5 *s, however after seeing Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis, we were taken to a fashion store selling leather jackets, plied with free drinks and had to sit through a full fashion show with models and a catwalk, attempting to sell us leather goods from their store. This was bizarre, and not something we were at all interested in - when the guide had asked if we would be interested beforehand, we had all replied that we were not bothered. This may have incorrectly been taken as a sign of potential interest. If you book this tour, be sure to give a firm "No" if you are asked about a fashion store/show. Other than that, the tour was outstanding, great value for money and extremely informative, so it is a shame I am unable to give it the full 5 *s.
