Unforgettable Experience of Ancient History - If you want to explore ancient city of Romans this is the place to go. Our local guide Yesra gave us much input about the history of Ephesus over and above with funny side facts. Her convincing English skills made us easy to follow and she always reminded us to buy water or use the restroom because the Tour in Ephesus takes 2 1/2 hours. The transfer was on time and she even came into the hotel to look after us. All in all really recommendable. Only negative fact to point is that it was really full and the marbles are really slippery. So take sturdy shoes and a hat to provide sunburn.

A must visit when in Kusadasi - This was a great tour, the sights and history was just spectacular. Our tour guide Erdum was very knowledgeable about the history and the areas around the site which made the tour much more interesting and engaging. You can tell he was passionate about the region. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ephesus. The tour operator was very flexible and accommodating towards our changing schedule. Also like the fact they they were quick to reply to emails.
