プライベートのエフェソスシャトル、伝統的なランチ付き（4〜8時間）

Amazing day with our guide Ozzie! We got to see all the major sights in Ephesus including a delicious Turkish farmhouse lunch, followed by seeing how rugs are hand made and a stop at a leather shop including a fashion show and some Turkish wine.

This tour was more than what we expected. Had a wonderful time learning the history and biblical significance of Kusadasi. I would highly recommend this trip. A very personal a unique experience, The lunch was very good too, just the right amount to keep us going and provide a local food experience.

Our tour guide Fumur was a wealth of information and shared her country with us. The lunch was a great extra bonus not to be missed. Comfortable van and great driver too. What else can I say except not to be missed if you want a great tour in Ephesus

Highlights: A personalized small tour just with the two of us. I got all of my questions answered and more. Seeing and learning about the history of the vast city of Ephesus, St. John’s Basilica, Mary’s House and the tasty lunch. We paid all entrance fees. Not a highlight, just info. Midlight: The lunch was very modest but tasty: beans, beet dish, rice, tomato dish, salad, lamb meatballs and chicken, and bread. Lowlights: While I appreciate Mustafa’s honesty at the beginning of the tour letting us know he was a smoker, I would have preferred to have this information beforehand. I have a mild allergy to smoking but for someone with major allergies this could have been a huge issue since the tour was so intimate and we were in close contact for hours. The rug, ceramics and leather experiences were definitely tourist traps with pressure ranging from subtle to aggressive to buy high priced rugs and costly ceramics and expensive leather. The leather was the biggest surprise. As soon as I walked into the reception with “Payless” in bright lights on a black wall then quickly shuffled into a dark room and saw the runway lined with red velvet seating I thought “Oh no, a major tourist trap!!” After we emerged from the 10 min abbreviated leather jacket fashion show (mind you this was AFTER we explicitly told our tour guide we were NOT interested in leather jackets) we were escorted into a large show room with jackets, bags and purses. The salesman stuck to us like white on rice insisting in telling us how excellent the prices and quality were and how everything was 75% off. Honestly I would be surprise if everything had a 90% mark-up. I found it hard to trust a place called Payless. It was should have been more appropriately called “Pay More, Much More.” In retrospect, the fact that in a Turkish country everything was written in English was a huge tip off that it was a tourist trap!! Enjoy the tour but beware of the rug, ceramic and leather tourist traps. I recommend you ask “Where do the Turks buy their rugs, leather and ceramics? Pls take me there!”

Nilgun is an excellent guide. She is passionate about her country and history. We all learned a lot and even the teenagers were not bored. The Ephesus site and especially the terrace houses was so interesting. Definitely take the 155 steps thru the houses; it is not hard. We also went to see locals make hand-made rugs. The process is more than you can imagine and they offered tasty Turkish coffee and tea. We had lunch there as well and it was delicious. The driver was very good too and kept the car nice and cool in the heat.

Our guide was the absolute best! Our tour was amazing. We loved everything from beginning to end. Highly recommended this guide and tour.

Our trip was brilliant. Great locations visited. Lots of interesting things we saw and learned. Pick up process was perfect. And our guide Alayna was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and helpful. And our driver was great too. We could not rate this trip any better. It was all excellent. Thank you.

Melih was an incredible tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable. We requested an emphasis on Biblical History and we were impressed with his knowledge. He also did a great job accommodating my parents’ disabilities. We highly recommend this tour.

You get to see the same things but at a much cheaper price than Celebrity and includes a delicious lunch. You also do less walking because unlike a tour bus it meets you at a location where you end up when you decide to head back. No need to climb back up to where you were dropped off initially. Definitely worth it!

What a fantastic tour— it was easy to connect with our tour guide from the start and we felt like we were in great hands all day! Mr. Sinan was very knowledgeable and personable. We would definitely recommend this tour!
