We had a wonderfull trip to Ephesus, the House of Virgin Mary and the Temple of Artemis. The transport by private bus was very comfortable and easy going. The guide was very friendly and gave us lots of information.

We went on a great tour to Ephesus with Ephesus Shuttle and I would recommend them to anyone. We booked a group tour - up to 10 people but we were the only two on the tour.

We went on a great tour to Ephesus with Ephesus Shuttle and I would recommend them to anyone. We booked a group tour - up to 10 people but we were the only two on the tour. I was impressed that they still ran the tour for just two people. We got to Ephesus before the tour buses and our guide Orkan was excellent. Communication was quick and easy via WhatsApp and we paid at the end of the tour. All in all highly recommended and at a fraction of the cost of the cruise company tours.Adrian4P

Ephesus is amazing and our tour with Ty was superb. Ephesus Shuttle were brilliant from responding to our initial enquiry to delivering a really great tour. Ty was an outstanding and experienced guide who was informative and fun. He brought to life this magical place and this tour of Ephesus was a clear highlight of our cruise. Kusadasi is a lovely port/resort and worth spending time in too.203Emilie

We actually did this tour in July 2014 but it’s hard to go back to write a review for that date. We did this tour as part of a celebrity cruise trip to though Europe. This was one of my favourite excursions because my husband and I had our own private van with an excellent tour guide. We had a private tour through Ephesus and my favourite part was the lunch. It was very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this tour.CherylG1310

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!

Without a doubt, the BEST tour company in Turkey! Sado and Amelia are absolutely the BEST guides! This was the third time I have used their services, I’ll never consider using anyone else in Turkey.
