Given how my trip to Istanbul was shaping up, I didn't think I would get to Ephesus. Luckily, I did. The tour was very good and the flight and transfers to the airport all went smoothly for the most part. Recommended if your time is limited and you want to see the amazing ruins of Ephesus. The only thing I would recommend is upgrading the lunch buffet.

Was very easy to book this 1 day excursion (Istanbul to Ephesus) directly with Travel Tips Turkey. Tahsin was very responsive and super organized in our communications before booking, to book and while we were in Turkey. Ephesus is a great example of Roman city. It is outdoor tour after plane and bus ride, so plan for walking on uneven paths. Guide was knowledgeable and pace was very manageable. If you have limited time and are doing day trips from Istanbul base, this (long) day is the way to see Ephesus!
