Privat Efesustur från Bodrum

My mother and I had a beautiful day-trip to Ephesus and around Selcuk. Erkan was flexible and generous from the start, making a very last-minute booking for us and drove us out personally to make the tour possible. Ephesus is an incredible ancient city, Erkan arranged our guide there and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We were enchanted by many ruins but particularly the two-story library that's been so impressively reconstructed. Our adventure back to the hotel included a stop at a local ceramic studio and shop, and lunch at a great winery where we enjoyed good food and drink with views over a beautiful landscape. Erkan even found an opportunity to show us a Zeus Temple off the beaten track off the road back to the hotel. Throughout we thoroughly enjoyed Erkan's company and our conversations together, his deep knowledge and appreciation for local history and nature. Erkan was immensely helpful in the days that followed our tour too, helping to arrange travel and taxis for us around the area. We're grateful for his kindness and our encounters with him were a highlight of our trip to Bodrum!

Our family had a lovely day on the private tour to Ephesus. It was wonderful to be shown around such impressive sights and to learn about the history from Gunay, who is such a knowledgeable tour guide. Our driver and van were excellent too.

We had a wonderful time in Efesos We we want from Bodrum for the Day. It is the best guide tour 100 points we went by car And everthing was perfect.

Fantastic day out at Ephesus with Erkan, museum was worth visiting and the Temple of Artemis. Erkan also organised transfers for us for our family group for the rest of our holidays which were all excellent.

We had a terrific day with Gunay and Erkan. Gunay has a remarkable ability to convey centuries of history with color details to make it come alive. And we loved hearing about contemporary issues impacting the region on the drive and over lunch. Best guides of our trip, hands down!

We recommend this trip with Gunay! It was a long but enjoyable day full of facts, history and information about Ephesus and the surrounding area. Having traveled from the US, we wanted to see as much as possible and she was accommodating. We did not visit the Zeus Temple of Euromos, as described.

The best surprise of our Ephesus and Artemis tour was our guide, Gunay. She surpassed all our expectations with her deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and the way she made the entire experience smooth, a lot of fun, and rewarding. She took time to explain complex historical details in an entertaining way. Most of all, her caring and genuine nature won the heart of my teenager. By the end of the tour, it was like we had made a good friend! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful daytrip to Ephesus and Selcuk area. We were picked up at the hotel in Turgutreis at 6 am (sharp) and travelled up north to our first visit in Ephesus, including the amazing amphitheatre, library of Celsus, the immersive museum and the ancient Church of Mary (we opted for not visiting the Terraces houses). Then we stopped for lunch at the Agora in Selcuk and from there we visited the ancient Basilica of St John, the Temple of Artemis (where only a pillar still stands) and the House of the Virgin Mary (which has more of a spiritual meaning). Our guide Gunay was very helpful, expressive and engaged everyone in the region’s culture, history and local traditions. A highly recommended immersive tour in Asia Minor ancient times.

We had the most wonderful day with Gunay and it was a truly memorable experience. Gunay was amazing -- she not only had all kinds of trivia at her fingertips, she feels passionately for the region and has an encyvlopaedic knowledge about Ephesus and that period in history. She's also very kind and attentive. She was so patient with our four year-old daughter and made sure she had the most wonderful time. From plucking strawberries and peaches along the way to Ephesus, to the most delightful lunch, it was a wonderful, wholesome experience. Thank you. Very highly recommended!
