BODRUM privato tutto compreso a Efeso, Casa di Maria, Tour del pranzo

5* from start to finish. Pre booking communication was prompt and quickly answered all questions. Our guide Emre was at the pick up early. He was fantastically knowledgeable and good fun. Perfect balance between providing good information and not overloading us. Most important, no forced shopping trips. We chose the pottery visit which was worthwhile. There’s a premium for the private tour but justified for the ease and personal attention. Recommended

Boy did we score! We had the best experinece and was grateful for the knowledge and history lesson we received. We enjoyed the tour and extended it to have the best lunch and see the amazing craftmanship with the rug making tour. I highly recommend this tour and Ozzy!

Gem was an awesome tour guide. We had a great day… a highlight for me was the lunch & cultural center where there were women weaving Turkish rugs and we saw silk thread being pulled from silk cocoons

We have just completed the most wonderful day trip from Bodrum > Ephesus and return. Selenay, our guide was outstanding, we haven’t had a guide with as much knowledge and passion, she certainly made the day. Our driver was the consummate professional. This Private Tour saw us visit Mary's House and surrounding archaeological sites at Ephesus, such as the Celsus Library, Temple of Hadrian, Fountain of Trajan, Gate of Hercules, the Odeon, Temple of Artemis and Cathedral of St John. If that was not enough to round out the day we had superb lunch set within the cool surrounds of pomegranate and citrus trees at Nakkas Ephesus. Here we saw weavers, weaving their magic, and the fascinating process of spinning raw silk from cocoons, this capped off such a memorable day. We were here in late September, crowds were not overwhelming and the weather was ideal. (Note to self, wear non slip shoes, when walking around Ephesus, the marble paths can be quite slippery.) If you’re looking for the perfect trip to the above, we cannot recommend this trip / Curio Travel highly enough.

Ephesus was amazing and so worth the drive. We had a very bubbly tour guide who made the trip a lot of fun.

Excellent tour of the Mary’s house and to the Ephesus ruins. We had a great time learning about the how the church came to recognize this location as the house where Mary lived and the history of the building and fall of the port of Ephesus and its preservation. Ilknur is a great tour guide. She majored to be a tour guide and shares her excitement about the locations and what we are viewing. She’s also very protective of her clients safety and values our time and interests. We travelled in style in a Mercedes coach. Our driver was always waiting for us with the van. I highly recommend this tour.

Tour was incredible. We got such interesting insight into the history of all locations which would’ve been lost touring on our own. The recommendation to do the Ephesus experience museum was definitely appreciated, it was AMAZING. Our tour guide was incredibly kind and friendly and astoundingly knowledgeable about all locations we visited and about Turkey generally. Cannot wait to come back!

This was the best way to maximize our time in port! The guide and driver met us promptly at the port. The first part of the drive from Bodrum to Ephesus was spent hearing an interesting history of the area. Our guide was engaging and spoke perfect English. The driver was careful and the vehicle was comfortable. I loved that we were able to go at our own pace. The driver even loaned us his sun umbrella which really came in handy on this blazing hot day. The lunch stop was great, allowing us to taste a variety of local dishes. I highly recommend this tour (we were sailing on Virgin Voyages, Resilient Lady).

Good tour. Only complaint is we couldn’t go to another spot. We would have preferred to not have lunch and see other sites. He was incredibly knowledgeable. We didn’t need to have lunch and see shops. Wanted to see Apollo’s temple.

What an unbelievable day! Emre taught us so much. We learned things about the Bible we had never known. Of all the tours we’ve done so far this was hands down the best. We enjoyed every minute: the tour through Ephesus, the traditional lunch, the rug tour and the basilica of St. John. The shoppers in the group enjoyed the leather shop and the shops around the port as well as looking (and buying) a beautiful handmade rug.
