I kept wondering did I forget to pay for something. What a value. Clean private van with dedicated driver and guide. Lori was off the charts good. We talked about what we wanted to see and she made sure we saw it. We could have done more, but we were getting tired. Lori really knows her stuff. She loves Turekie and it shows.
Fatih our guide was excellent. We would recommend his tour. He was very knowledgeable and willing to change as the day went along.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to see you again.
Ezra was an excellent guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable and tailored our tour to suit our needs. The lunch was very good and the driver was great also. Great value for the cost. I highly recommend the Ephesus tour and ask for Ezra!!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to see you again.
Be prepared to walk. Way too hot on our visit. But bus was fabulous…clean & air conditioned. Goksu was a wonderful guide—so knowledgeable and flexible to our group needs.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to see you again.
We had the absolute BEST time with our guide Murat!!! This is a man who knows his history and made our experience come alive with his interesting historical facts and stories about each site. Our 10yr and 14yr old sons were mesmerized as were we learning about ancient Ephesus and its history. We are highly considering coming back to Turkey to explore more with Murat as he is one of the most knowledgeable, interesting and fun tour guides we have ever had !
Thank you so much for your review. It was our pleasure to assist you in Ephesus.
Absolutely wonderful. Burack was our guide and he was so professional and personable. He shared so much history with us. He took us to the main attractions first to get ahead of the ship crowds and stayed with us in lines to ensure our safety. He gave us privacy at The Virgin Mary's house and gave us all the time we wanted. He then took us through some shopping. The Ancient City of Ephesus, Celcius Library, Odeon,, St Johns Basilica. He took us to a wonderful outdoor venue for lunch. We watched rug weaving, now I understand why carpets are so pricy. It was a wonderful day in a beautiful country with an exceptional tour guide. We got even more than we had hoped for out of this tour. Well worth the money.
This was a great day with the family - Nigal (not the correct spelling) and the bus driver did a great job. Very thorough and well planned
My husband and I had the best time on this specific tour. Unfortunately we are handicapped and there were a lot of things we could not do, but our driver and Burak did a wonderful job with adjusting to our needs. We had such a good time communicating and learning new things on this tour and our tour guide was very informative and educated. He was very kind and respectful and because the walkways were very bad he always offered his arm so I would not fall. Both the driver and the tour guide were very much gentlemen. We would highly recommend this company as we had the best time. Our tour guide also took our video camera and did a personal tour for the places We could not walk to because of our disabilities. They both went above and beyond.
Leyla was an excellent guide! She made sure we had "tour" time as well as time on our own to explore. She was very knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed our visit to Mary's house in edition to ancient Ephesus. We highly recommend this tour.
