Dilek was an amazing guide. She knew so much about Ephesus and Kusadasi. It was such a pleasure traveling with her.

The guide, Boz, was so informative and friendly and gave us a great experience! Turkey was beautiful, I especially loved the ceramics shop he took us too.

We had such a great experience with our guide Isik! She was very nice, entertaining, knowledgeable and professional and her English was perfect! She kept us moving but gave us plenty of time to ask questions, take pictures & time to roam around on our own. We were so glad we booked our private tour that was catered to just our group of 6 rather than a large bus tour. We really appreciated getting a break from the heat while traveling between locations in the air conditioned Mercedes van that was clean & comfortable.(water provided too). We enjoyed the visit to “the Virgin Mary’s House” early in the morning. Isik ushered us in before the bus loads of tourists arrived making it easier to move thru the location & time to use the restroom before we headed to the ruins of Ephesus. It was quite hot that day so we were glad we brought our own cooling cloths, water and umbrellas for sun protection. We loved learning all Isik had to share with us and appreciated her checking in regarding the pace of the tour. The Celsius Library was amazing, as was the Great Theatre where Apostle Paul had preached to the Ephesians. After the tour we were treated to a wonderful & delicious lunch at a local Turkish restaurant. We really enjoyed learning about & tasting some of the Turkish cuisine. We then walked across the garden to a carpet factory. Although it was interesting none of us were interested in purchasing anything. We had fun jesting with the salesmen about prices and they definitely wanted to make a sale but really weren’t too pushy. At the end of our tour, Isik helped us organize a meeting with a local friend- even using her own phone to make a call to insure/arrange the meeting spot. This tour couldn’t have been any better and we Highly recommend this (6hr) day tour to anyone visiting Ephesus!301genep

Erkan was an excellent guide. This was our second visit to Ephesus. She was very attentive to what we wanted to explore on this second trip and guided us to areas that were not available on our first trip. Her knowledge of the site is fantastic and her English is excellent as well. She understood how our tour would interact with other tour groups and made suggestions on timing Ephesus with touring some other sites in the area. We avoided delays because of this and made the most of our time in the area. We are pleased to give her our highest recommendation.bfran

This tour was by far the smartest decision I made on the entire trip!! I cannot express how fabulous Ephesus is! My guide was “Memo”. Normally I dislike tours, but this was INCREDIBLY FABULOUS… first, because it was such a nice car and driver, secondly, “Memo” was not a pushy tour guide… he did what I wanted! I was first off the ship and he was there with my name on a paper. The car was right there and we beat the tour groups to Ephesus! As soon as we entered the entry gate, we went straight to The Library and got the “photo of a lifetime!” Memo brought the ruins to life. Not as a normal ship tour guide does… but he made it SO interesting! He knows, really knows the history and is able to make you want to hear it! With this tour company, I was able to do what I wanted! We also went to the museum! I cannot recommend this tour company enough!!! Highly reliable!!!! BEST TOUR EVER (and I travel a lot.) Oh, the place we went for lunch was fabulous. Not where your groups go. Food was incredible. You don’t order they just bring food to you (a lot) and your table is outside in the grass. And it was not expensive. Memo made seeing Ephesus EASY and FUN!
