Ephesus has to be seen to be believed. The ruins of the city are amazing. And the tour was exceptional. Everything went very smoothly—being picked up and returned to our hotel, the flights from Istanbul to Izmir, and the transportation from Izmir to the various sites. Our tour guide was also very good. A must-do experience.

Many thanks to Ozgur for very prompt assistance with the booking. The tour started in the morning with your flight out from Istanbul at 0630HRs. Arrived at Izmir around 0800HRs--ish. Picked up by the tour driver and this would be the car being used on the tour. The tour guide was picked up on the way to the House of Mary. House of Mary was good, if a little underwhelming. Understandably so since it was the house of a very pious woman and mother of Son of God/prophet (depending on your religion). Do not forget to leave a wish on the famous wall here. Do not buy souvenirs here and wait until Ephesus for that. Ephesus was an excellent sight. Watch out for the marble floors while walking. Ensure to visit inside of the Library of Celsius and take pics there. You will visit the site of Temple of Artemis soon after lunch. The tour was a bit tiring on account of the long travels involved (flights in and out of Istanbul plus 45min travel both ways from Izmir to Ephesus). Also, is best to substitute the leather making/rug making/pottery sessions with a museum visit instead. The lady guide appeared to be more interested in walking you through the money-making shops in the vicinity than moving on to the next site. The tour could have offered a free lunch and museum visit due to the large cost involved. But overall, I liked the tour.

We had the opportunity to take this tour with Emre as our guide and Huso as our driver and we had a great time! Emre showed us the best places and provided all the information. He really knew what he was talking about. This trip worth every penny we spent. Highly recommended!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a wonderful time touring Ephesus with my guide Riza and driver Okan. Riza was extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and easy to talk to.

The best part of my trip! I had so much fun, learned a lot, and felt the trio surpassed my expectations. My transport from my hostel, Osque, was on time and very friendly. He also picked me up at the end of the day and was easy to locate at the airport. Riza, my tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. He picked a great place to stop off for lunch and I really enjoyed the meal. He knew all about each place we stopped and allowed me as much time as I wanted to wander or move on to the next thing. Everything was communicated well. Pickups were seamless. This was absolutely worth the expense.
