The ancient site of Ephesus is amazing. Our tour guide was well-educated and gave us a lot of information during our tour. I would recommend that Viator skip the carpet factory.
Hazel was very knowledgeable and the tour was great. Very educational. She spoke English very well.
Great tour of Ephesus, thank you! Duygu was fab, with good info. Just a shame it became a commission / sales pitch at the end with the carpet place and leather room. None of our group bought anything and weren’t really that fussed. Would be better if this was just an Ephesus tour.
Ephesus is a truly fascinating city and our guide Mustafa Suphi brought it to life with his depth of knowledge and good humour. A terrific guide, highly recommended.
We had a wonderful experience touring Ephasus with Hussein. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The small group we had made asking questions easier and more efficient. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
Okan was great, patient, detailed explanation when and where to meet, tour was interesting, but not overwhelming. Very accommodating and nice
Great tour with a ton of information! Our guide, Hussein, was so knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend this tour! Be aware that it can get quite hot in this area. If you’re sensitive to heat…bring a hat, umbrella, fan, water. Vehicle had comfortable a/c while traveling!
This tour was amazing and well worth it! We had Taylan as our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and such a great guide. These are ruins you dare not miss and were fascinating. Following Ephesus we went to the rug factory which was interesting to learn about, then visited a pottery shop followed by a shop that sells “Turkish delight”. We enjoyed our day with Taylan. The tour wrapped up in enough time that shopping could be done before going back to the ship. Excellent tour! Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience with our guide Ada. Very attentive and attentive to details. Always concerned about everyone's well-being. It was very easy to locate the agency too. I recommend.
Our guide Rose was excellent.
