Amazing. - What a great way to visit Ephesus. Our guide was Funda and the driver was Efe. The private minivan was a Mercedes, very clean and some bottle of waters were offered. Very appreciated in this scorching heat. We met them outside the port. Funda asked us what were our expectations and all was very well organized. Wonderful! The library is just so amazing. It was one of the highlight of our trip. We even had some time for some shopping. The stop in Kusadasi was part of a cruise.

One of my most enriching... - One of my most enriching experiences was our Ephesus Tour! Ali, was the best guide to enlighten us about this beautiful and historically rich place. I would definitely visit this place again and learn more from Ali. Thank you Ali!

Great tour of Ephesus! - Dicle and Ihan were the best team to tour us around Ephesus and the surrounding area. We learned so much from Dicle about the ancient ruins of Ephesus as well as the Turkish culture. We are so inspired by her that we are planning a trip back to explore other parts of Turkey. She really opened our eyes of the beauty and the culture we can experience in Turkey! Ihan was a great driver and made us comfortable in his van. All in all a very memorable experience for us!

Great tour option for cruisers - Our guide Dennis was very friendly and full of great information. We enjoyed our tour with him. As soon as I booked this tour, they contacted me to finalize details about timing and the meeting place. It was easy to find them after we got off the boat and was a comfort to know we would make it back in plenty of time.

The perfect way to visit Ephesus - While our cruise provided free shore excursions/tours, we prefer a private guide and driver, so that we can go at our own pace and focus on what we want to do and see. This tour was perfect. The guide, Ismail, is very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. His English is excellent and he made sure to give us the tour and visit that we wanted. We truly enjoyed Ephesus and had a delicious, local lunch. Highly recommended.

Incredible experience! - A perfect way to see the sights! This private tour with Fatima cost our family far less than the large group excursion from our Celestyal cruise. Fatima is so cheerful and knowledgeable and tailored the tour perfectly to both the parents and children in our group. We have 5 young children and wanted to focus on the Protestant Biblical sites, and she did a great job explaining the history and Turkish culture in great detail but quickly so that we could arrive back to the ship with plenty of time. The van with a friendly driver was such an easy way to get around. She allowed us time to stop and mark our Bibles at various sites, which would not have been possible in the large cruise-ship herd. As a mom herself, she understood the speed at which young children move and accommodated us beautifully. I booked this tour very last minute, solwishI had time to review the schedule with Fatima to ensure that we went to the actual Temple of Artemis location. We viewed it from above, but we would have liked to have actually walked on the site. But that was my oversight-no fault of Fatima's at all. Also, while we learned a lot from the visit to the rug-making co-op (our children sat with the weavers), in retrospect we would have likely preferred to use that time to see another site such as Mary's house. The rug store is an experience, and be prepared to negotiate to buy a rug. While Fatima sweetly assured me that we had no obligation to buy anything, after tea and the host's kindness, we still felt we were expected to buy something. The rugs are beautiful and a lovely reminder of our visit, but just add it into your mental budget in advance so that you are not surprised or spend more than you want to. This is an incredible tour and one of our favorite memories, thanks to Fatima.

Amazing time in Turkey - Dilek was a wonderful guide. She suggested activities that we were unaware of and accommodated our requests. We had amazing tours of Mary's house, Ephesus and a carpet weaving business. We also did a little shopping in Kusadasi. Thank you, Dilek for an awesome day in Turkey!

Book it! - This was absolutely fantastic! We lucked out and had Fatima as our guide, and as a local, she was so knowledgeable, personable and so fun to hang out with during the day! 10/10 recommend

Wonderful - The whole tour with Lisa was very good as I am hearing impaired and she made sure I was able to hear her. She is very knowledgeable and makes the trip fun. Lisa explained everything very clearly and was a Joy to have as an tour guide.

Wonderful tour experience of Ephesus - Fatma is very professional, patient, and helpful. That’s a wonderful tour experience in Ephesus with her!
