Amazing experience of history and spirituality visiting Ephesus and last place of the Virgin Mary. Our guide Melike was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Gave us a wonderful journey of the history of cultures and civilisations of this incredible place. Highly recommended.

During our trip, our tour guide, Hazen (I hope I got his name right), was simply outstanding! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Ephesus region, and we felt very fortunate to have him as our guide. Hazen took great care of our group and provided us with both group and individual insights about the region, as well as global perspectives. This trip made me realize how much better my previous day's travel agent could have been when it came to exploring historic and beautiful places. I highly recommend this tour and Hazen as your guide, if you get the chance to experience it.

Exceptional door to door private service from our AirBnB to the various sights in and around Ephesus in a luxury air conditioned vehicle with an experienced guide. The driver was very safe and the guide had extensive knowledge. Since this was a private tour we were able to take our time at each site: Mary’s house, Ephesus, Artemis Temple, and they provided us with a delicious lunch. Special thanks to our guide Adi Güray.
