Ephesus tour with umut - I joined the tour on 18 june. Our guide umut and the driver came nicely on time to pick us up. We specially booked our tour private that we would have or own special time and more information. Our guide umut gave us a lot of information and he let the history come alive. We also stopped by a pottery place where they showed us the turkish art and explained the history. We even bought a plate for our daughter for her birthday. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Tour with Very Entertaining History!! - I hired Umut as my private tour guide for Ephesus, Temple of Artemis, House of Mary, and wine tasting in Sirinçe. I highly recommend you have a guide in these places, there is just too much to learn and you won’t appreciate them without the history! Umut was a fantastic guide!! I couldn’t imagine a better guide. He knew all of the history of each of the sites and the most fun and interesting stories and anecdotes about different structures. He is an expert in the history of these sites and knew the answers to all of my questions. He took great photos of me as well! I really enjoyed spending the day speaking with him, it was a highlight of my Turkey trip.
