Our tour guide Yavuz was literally amazing. Not only was he full of knowledge he was very social and genuine! Our family learned so much about the area, Yavus made a lasting impression. Thank you so much for an amazing tour today.

Our Tour guide Mr Tezcan was awesome. They man has worked on the dig sites himself and had archaeology degree. He knows his stuff and it made the tour great. He was friendly, helpful and KNOWLEDGABLE. I can't reccomend him and this tour enough. Walking the site on a self guided tour would not have been the same, glad we did it. Im looking forward to heading back to the site in the future.

Excellent small tour with great guide. He got us to sites before the huge tour buses and gave us valuable insights . Later, by a vote on the bus, we went to a pottery factory. Very worthwhile. Bought a few pieces, but there was no pushy attempt to sell. Pottery was gorgeous. A worthwhile tour. Small group, great guide, and fair price.

Iskender and Sercan were amazing guides and driver. We booked for 4 guests, but ended up having a Private tour. Iskender took us to the main sites-Mary’s house, Ephesus, at John basilica, Artemis column and also to a leather, carpet, and ceramic shop- all the showcases and items were amazing - we bought some souvenirs along the way. The meal at the carpet shop was fresh and one of the best meals we’ve had in Turkey. Thank you Iskender for showing us your country and having patience with us. We will encourage all tourists to take this tour! The pace was not rushed and the transport was clean and comfortable. We got more than we were expecting!

We booked this excursion fully expecting to be added to a group to make 10, however, it ended up being just the two of us. The tour guide was excellent, a lovely young woman, and the driver was lovely. She followed our pace and understood when we wanted to speed up or slow down. She was extremely knowledgeable about Ephesus and the surrounding area and her English was very good.
