Our guide, Eda, was exceptional. She is a local resident who really knew her stuff. If you are lucky to have her as your guide, your tour will be a memorable one. Lunch was delicious with locally prepared dishes. Enjoy....
We had such a wonderful experience with Taylan! He was so fun to be with and so knowledgeable. He even had a special birthday surprise for my 11 year old. He made the experience very memorable! Thank you!

This was a private tour for us and we enjoyed it. Our guide was so good. I’m happy with all but the mandatory “sales” stops. We saw beautiful things in the pottery, leather and carpet shops but I wasn’t a fan on the sales pressure.

Pick up was smooth. She had arranged a driver who stayed with us the whole time. We saw the home of Mary, Temple of Artemis, historic ruins of amphitheater and bath houses. Eda was very informative. Her knowledge of the history and explanations were enlightening. Thank you!

One of the best excursions we’ve done. The city of Ephesus is a hidden gem - you will be able to actually walk through the ruins, and touch the pillars, stones, walls etc unlike many archeological sites you may visit. The Virgin Mary’s home was another highlight and the grounds around are breathtaking. Our guide Berkay was amazing! All the info, history and sites he described in a very interesting and engaging way… we were able to hear the history, then experience the various sites we went to. Highly recommend this tour. The Turkish rug making stop was interesting, but do be prepared for the sales pitch - again small thing, but something to note.
