Ephesus Tour with Adam
Our tour guide, Adam, was very knowledgeable about the history surrounding Ephesus and had many interesting facts to share throughout the day. We really enjoyed touring the carpet weaving school and the pottery school as these were quite hands-on. Lunch was very enjoyable also. Thanks Adam! 😎

Adam, the Catfather of Ephesus
Adam was an outstanding tour guide!! The experience overall was very good. Adam knew the right timing to avoid large crowds, was extremely knowledgeable, was ready and willing to adapt to our wants for how long to spend somewhere or not.
Full 5 stars for sure! Bonus - be sure to ask about Garfield & Smiley - but it will be hard to miss.

Beyond our expectations!! From Florida
This was the best decision I could have made. The tour was first rate from the moment we disembarked the ship. They were waiting for us, ushering us to our driver and personal guide. The day was amazing. Our personal guide was professional and knowledgeable. Lunch was amazing and we had a wonderful day. Beyond our expectations.

Ephesus and adam
Adam was an amazing tour guide. Not only was he knowledgeable about all things, he was friendly and personable. He made sure we were comfortable, and that we understood everything that he was explaining. He also made sure we were able to get some great photos! We felt safe that we would get back to ship timely and it was one of the best experiences.

Amazing tour with one in a million tour guide!
The best tour I have ever been on in my life! Onur was an amazing tour guide and is a college professor who knows so much about his country. He gave us extra time and went out of his way to make this the best tour experience. The driver was amazing and drove us around in a beautiful Mercedes. I felt like royalty. The food was fantastic and the people we met were courteous and hospitable. This tour is worth more than they are asking. If you want a tour of the House of the Virgin Mary and Ephesus while learning about the local culture and visiting beautiful shops where they make handwoven rugs, leather jackets, and pottery. This is the one!!
