AMAZING TOUR!!! - Our guide was Elif!!! She is an amazing person inside and out. We learned so much from her and enjoyed the whole tour. We got to see Virgin Mary's House, Ephesus, and Temple of Artemis. All the way from the start of the booking to the end of the tour, it was easy and simple. i am beyond grateful for what we experienced. We only speak english so even having Elif around was a blessing and she helped navigate us so well. She also let us learn how rugs are made and mosaic art as well. I am blown away by the customer service and Elif herself. Highly recommend booking a tour :)

Cruiseship tour of Ephesus- Great experience! - I like to ask lots of questions so group tours are not a good fit. This tour was perfect, it was just my wife and I, the driver and our guide Tolga and he was fabulous. We were looking for a tour where we could get details on the Christian historical events that happened in this area. Tolga did a great job getting us quickly through the lines, navigating the roads, and probably the most overlooked when booking tours.... He knew the best places for all the best photos. We would recommend him to any tourist visiting these sites.

Biblical Tour w/ Lunch - Our Guide Huseyin was amazing. Truthfully. He was funny, patient, personable, and extremely knowledgeable of all things local. His knowledge of various religions was impeccable and every question we asked was answered. We came on a cruise and booked last minute and I am SO happy we did. Lunch was local food and was tasty as well! I can’t wait to come back.

Perfect Day In Ephesus - My husband and I went on a tour led by Tolga. It was a FABULOUS day. He was an amazing guide and gave us ALL the information and more about the places we were going and about Turkey. We asked Biblical questions and got to discuss what we were seeing along the way. We were very last minute (literally the morning of) in booking this private tour, and he went out of his way to rearrange so we could have a tour. It was just my husband and I and him, so it felt very personal and we could ask him all the questions we wanted. He even knew the spots to take pictures for us and so he took pictures of us along the way. The tour was the perfect amount time, and the food was AMAZING! He explains the significance of the rugs at the end and you even get to see some at the end (if you’d like to purchase one, they ship for free). All in all, it was a perfect day! I would highly recommend this business.
