Amazing tour! - We loved our trip to Ephesus from Kusadasi. We were able to visit the ancient city of Ephesus, the house of the Virgin Mary, had a traditional Turkish lunch buffet, went to a leather shop and had a private fashion show that we got to be a part of, went to a ceramic/pottery making shop and again got to participate in making a piece of pottery and also went to a candy shop. It was a full day with lots of walking but worth it. The terrain is very uneven in ancient Ephesus and I highly recommend wearing comfortable clothing/shoes. Derya was an excellent tour guide and was knowledgeable about the locations we visited and the culture as well. Our favorite parts of the trip were visiting the House of the Virgin Mary and ancient Ephasus. We highly recommend this trip.

Amazing tour to Ephesus - My tour to Virgin Mary house, Ephesus and Artemis temple was amazing! My tour guide Seyhan Dogan made an incredible day of this tour that turned out to be private since I was the only one assigned to his group so I was lucky to enjoy every single part. His knowledge about both places we visited was amazing and I could see his excitement when talking about Ephesus history. Great experience that I recommend to anyone going to Kuşadasi!

An interesting tour. - The tour included House of the Virgin Mary Ephesus, lunch at a local restaurant and the Temple of Artemis. The tour bus picked up people from three different hotels before setting off. Due to the fact that there were two cruise ships in Kusadasi the Virgin Mary was absolute pandemonium. Queues to the toilets were ridiculous, there were even women in the queue for the gents. The tour includes priority tickets but they are not paid for, you can pay by card at the ticket office (about £56). At Ephesus it was busy but we'll organised. The Ephesus tour involved three long hours of walking in the hot sun over quite uneven ground - we found it fascinating especially the Terraced houses (an extra charge) Our guide was delightful but her english was not so great and I didn't understand a lot of what she said. Lunch was OK. All drinks are extra. Service involved a lot of shouting which we found quite funny. The food was not bad. By the time we got to Artemis, most of the group had seen enough. The bus ride back to the hotels was uneventful. We tipped the tour guide and the bus driver. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.
