Great tour of Ephesus - The tour was great. Ersan is very informed, friendly, and articulate. He made sure we stayed in shady spots as much as possible during the tour. He even bought us fruit to refresh us at the end. Highly recommended.

Ephesus cruise excursion - Great shore excursion! We were quickly met by our nice and knowledgeable guide Pinar at the cruise exit, We then (with only one other couple) set off in a clean van to see the sites. During the booking process, we added the Terrace houses to our reservation and are so glad we did! Such an amazing part of Ephesus and well worth the extra cost. Had the option to visit carpet weaver, but no pressure to do so. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great guided tour with teens. - Our guide Pinar was amazing. Don't skip the terrace houses, they are probably the highlight of all the ancient sites we have visited. The tour group had only 6 people (we had 3 teens) which made it easy to hear the guide, and allowed her to find us shady places in the record-breaking summer heat. I kept on watching the enormous cruise-ship groups, and was grateful to have taken this smaller tour.

Ephesus experience - Our guide Fusun was very knowledgeable and delightful. She accommodated our requests with no issues. We had a great lunch at a typical Turkish place. For your next tour ask for Fusun and you will not be disappointed.
