Our guide and driver were very gracious, helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend the tour. Every stop was at family businesses who also were so kind and informative.

Knowledge and Flexibility

The private Ephesus tour arranged through Viator went very smoothly. The pickup was as scheduled and transportation was in a new Mercedes van. Although the Ephesus tour with the Terrace Houses was the major stop, other stops were included, and we added a local lunch. Very flexible and entertaining working with the our knowledgeable guide Hakan.

Awesome Private Tour of Ephesus, Virgin Mary House and more!

Had the best tour on our trip today with Ephesus Port Tours. The lovely Ozge was our tour guide and she was awesome all around, knowledgeable, English was great, stopped at all key place and gave us time to explore. Great lunch in the middle gave needed break from the heat. This is a tour you should not miss, and highly recommend you request Ozge as your guide for the day.

Became Uncomfortable

Becareful. Our car had a driver and a tour guide. We went to a museum which was good. But then, they took us to a carpet store and olive store and in each one we were backed into an area and they tried to sell us things. After two tries of this, we had them return us to the ship as we felt uncomfortable.

Hanrey was a great tour guide!

We toured with Hanry who was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was evident he really enjoyed his job and speaking about his culture to others. He made arrangements for us to visit what appealed to us and we had a great time. Definitely would recommend touring with Hanry!

Ephesus private tour

The Ephesus site is absolutely worth visiting. The experience is largely determined by the guide. The history was brought to life by our guide Matthew . He is extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a thorough overview of the site with a friendly and pleasant demeanor. We also visited the House of the Virgin Mary and the Basilica of St John topped off by a delicious lunch. Transportation was very comfortable in a new Mercedes limousine with separate driver.

Great tour, highly recommended!!

This tour was much more than I expected. Since it was private, Fatih, the guide was very flexible and accommodating. He really knew his history and was great at explaining everything. The ancient city of Ephesus was just stunning. I highly recommend this tour and Fatih as your guide. Just the right amount of walking in combo with the comfortable car we had. 5 stars - A+++++ all the way. Thanks Fatih for a very memorable experience.

Private Trip to Ephesus

Our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and adapted our tour to our needs. Was lovely to see carpets being made and hand painted pottery with a traditional lunch. Was more than we expected.
