Excellent experience, the guide was very good, with deep knowledge, very clear in his concepts, and in general, leading the tour well
Estimado/a huésped, ¡Muchas gracias por sus palabras! Un guía con conocimiento profundo y explicaciones claras es exactamente lo que buscamos. Nos alegra que la experiencia haya sido tan excelente. ¡Esperamos volver a verle pronto! Un cordial saludo 🧿 Tourmania Equipo
We enjoyed being able to see Ephesus. The place we stopped for breakfast was beautiful. We were upset about stopping at the gem/zultanite stop. It was not on the tour description. Our guide was nice but we would have hoped for more thorough descriptions. We were not told that three different languages would have been on the tour guide. The speakers on the bus were not easy to hear and sounded broken. The stop for Turkish delight factory was not on the tour description either. The fact that the tour said house of Mary but was voted on in the bus was not ok. We would have liked to at least see the outside of the house. We would not recommend this tour to anyone.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed visiting Ephesus and appreciated the breakfast stop, but we are truly sorry that several aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations. We regret the additional stops that were not clearly mentioned in the tour description and understand how this may have been frustrating. Your comments regarding the guide’s explanations, the use of multiple languages, and the audio system on the bus are also noted, as clear communication is essential for a comfortable experience. We are especially sorry for the disappointment regarding the House of the Virgin Mary. We understand why this was important to you, and your feedback about how this decision was handled has been taken seriously. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Your comments help us identify areas where improvements are needed to better meet guest expectations in the future. Kind regards, Tourmania
It’s a long travel but enjoyable, our English speaking tour guide is very accommodating, straight forward and approachable. We paid €25 as entrance fee for the house of mama Mary but in Tripadvisor and Viator websites is €10 only. During our lunch, we were told that the water we brought in is not allowed, we have to buy from them, he said that in a rude manner
We’re glad to hear that you found the trip enjoyable overall and appreciated the efforts of our English-speaking guide. It’s always our goal to provide informative and friendly service, so your kind words about the guide’s approachability mean a lot. We also sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered. Regarding the entrance fee, we understand your concern — pricing can sometimes vary depending on booking platforms and inclusions, but we will look into this to ensure there’s no confusion in the future. We're also sorry to hear about the way the lunch situation was handled; your feedback about the tone used is taken seriously, and we’ll be addressing this with the team to improve our guest experience. Thank you again for your honesty. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to offer you an even better experience next time.
The tour of Ephesus was a highlight. It was very interesting to learn about the ancient history from our guide and also see the ruins and digital museum All went smoothly with our transport to and from our hotel. A big thank you to Veronika for her help.

This tour was JUST BAD. Where to begin? The literal NAME of the tour is "Ephesus and house of Virgin Mary". Well, little did we know that they were not even gonna take us to the house of the Virgin Mary, which is half the reason we booked this tour. In the tour description, which I attach for transparecy, it clearly states that we are going to the sanctuary, although entrance is optional (10 euros). Well, when time for the virgin Mary's house came, they asked us for 25 (25 !!) extra euros, only paid in cash (convenient), otherwise we could go out of the bus in a random avenue intersection in Selcuk. Since I had no euros with me, I asked the tour if I could just go with them and pay the entrance fee (which is way less than 25) on the sanctuary, and he literally told me "You can go in a taxi". So we didn't go. Besides the fact that they didn't takes us to half of the tour, there were some other events that made the trip just uncomfortable. First, we stopped in so many stores along the way for us to buy jewelry, Turkish candies, and tourist souvenirs, which I am not against, but those activities were not listed on the description of the tour, and for which we spend solid one hour, one hour and a half. Second, they literally drop us off in a random intersection of Selcuk to all those that couldn't or wouldn't pay the extra 25 bucks, they just told us,"meet in one hour here". Third, the guides were borderline rude, for example, I already mentioned the "you can go in a taxi" bit, but also at some rest stop, one sat on my bus seat and told me to find another spot on the bus (which was almost full) just because she wanted to sit on her own. Lastly, when we got back to Bodrum, they stopped the bus on a random highway intersection (in the middle of nowehere, with no shelter, no nothing, in the middle of the June sun) and told us to get off the bus, and that a van would come pick us up, and they ALL LEFT us there with no other word, they just abandoned us. The van took solid 20 minutes to arrive. That is it. I will be looking to get my money back. This tour was just sad

the guide Sveta ( Russian) was amazing, perfectly knowing history and important details. Overall excursion was long.

It's also great to hear you enjoyed the many beautiful photo spots along the way! We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience.
My wife didn't really want to go to Ephesus, but when she arrived she was amazed. The city (3rd in history) is wonderful and is inspired by several modern things, such as the Nike logo......... in short, it is a place to visit and never forget. A Guide makes the difference
We are grateful that you took the time to leave us a review. Your feedback helps us to improve service for everyone
The city of Efes is wonderful. We had an amazing guide, that was well prepared and very nice, and the trip was very well organized. A great way to spend the day.
The tour was great and insightful. I encountered an issue and the guides were readily available to help. Needless to say they were friendly and so were the people on the tour. Although I was travelling alone it didn’t feel like it.
Took this trip yesterday, worth every penny, such and amazing place and great tour guide Giray, would recommend this trip
