We had a wonderful tour with Arzu. She took great care of us, the van was very nice and comfortable, and we were able to set our own pace. Offers of carpet factory, ceramics, or leather but we politely declined. Had a traditional lunch as well that was very good. Overall highly recommend!

What a fab day out! Mr Tez was very knowledgeable and interesting about all subjects. He explained things very easily and had some great stories to tell. We were collected from our ship at 8.30am and had a fantastic limo type car to the site.. such luxury. Apparently that is standard for this company. Lunch was perfect and v cheap in a garden area adjacent to carpet making company!! Had to be, but it was interesting. We were back on board promptly after a great day out Highly recommended Excellent priceGoesCruising

Exceptional value for money. Ms. Ilgü is very knowledgeable and speaks English perfectly. The sites are beautiful and worth every minute of your time. The van was luxurious. A private tour is a good way to visit a site like this, instead of being in a group of 30, listening to a guide telling a standard story. Great experience. PS: Ms. turned out to be a great photographer as well :-)Fontaine B

This wasn’t our first tour with Ephesus Shuttle. We used them 10 years ago when we were in Turkey. We requested the same tour guide, Emre. We were so impressed with his knowledge and expertise the first time that we wanted our friends to experience his tour, as well. Needless, to say we were not disappointed. It was really nice to see him again and it felt like it was our first visit. He was so informative and he made sure that we arrived at the places early to beat the crowds.khausma

Wonderful pre trip communication with clear pricing and inclusions. Very responsive throughout the pre trip process when my group went from 10 to 20. Once at the Port a clear sign was posted and our guide was present. We were escorted to a big tour bus and from there Alex shared about Turkey, Kusadasi, and the region. Also allowed us to ride in quiet for a bit. At Ephesus, Alex explained the sights along the way, cautioned us about slippery spots, fielded questions, entertained AND found us shade. He really met us where we were from an attention, knowledge, and expectation perspective. He was a true professional, as we expected from the first interactions with the company. We decided that we wanted to eat lunch but not do some of the other stops and he made that happen. Shared more history and took us to a fantastic lunch spot. A few members wanted help finding leather purses and he knew just the spot. A great tour. A great guide. A great company. 10/10 !
