At one point, our guide paid my wife's hospital bill because I didn't have cash! This Ephesus tour was the highlight of our 2 week vacation in Turkey. Our Ephesus tour guide, Eren, went above and beyond his duties and treated us like family. After my wife fell off a piece of antiquity, Eren saved the day AND kept the tour on schedule. He rushed us to the hospital, paid the bill, and sat at the bed side handling the tranlation with the doctor. Eren ensured everthing was ok before continuing. He treated us with respect and has been in contact with us ever since. He showed us the sites , spoke clear English, and told us many great stories. He was punctional, informative, and helpful. You won't find a better tour guide anywhere. Buy the ticket and take the ride!

I took the tour of Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis and Mary's House from Izmir. Overall, the tour covered all the sites in very good detail with a great guide. There was enough time to take pictures and explore at your leisure, which is always a good thing. The shopping stops were short and not very pushy and aggressive, which was also nice. Only down side was I was a little confused at the beginning of the tour as I was put in a group originally going to Pumukkale but then they dropped me off at the Temple of Artemis for my proper tour. The logistics of that was never explained to me but overall I would definitely recommend this tour.

We had Banu as our tour guide. She was absolutely brilliant and so very friendly. This was a private tour so we could add anything to the itinerary. We wanted to see all the highlights plus wanted to add a brief visit to the little scenic village called Sirince. We were able to do everything in a well-planned itinerary. Banu is very knowledgeable and patiently explained everything to us. At the Ephesus, although we had hats she advised we take an umbrella that she provided to each of us as an additional sun shade. That was a brilliant idea as it is so hot here the large-brim sun hats I had would not have been enough. The place she took us for lunch was cute and the food was fabulous. The van was very comfortable. Overall, this is a very well-worthwhile tour no one will regret.

This was an enjoyable and interesting tour. Our tour guide was absolutely terrific. Her knowledge of history, the area, folklore and especially the etymology of words/phrases was surpassed only by her smile, enthusiasm and love of Türkiye. Her command of English was bar far the best I have encountered. She spoke slowly and clearly and this enhanced the trip tremendously as I could understand everything she was saying and teaching us. A guest was in need of something specific and once our guide became aware she fulfilled this need with a smile and no additional cost. It was a gentle and loving act on behalf of the guide and driver. THIS is great customer service. A word to those staying the Konak area if Izmir, you will travel 1 1/2 hours to meet the small, private tour bus (quite comfortable) and then the tour begins. This just makes for a long day and something you should be aware of since the site does NOT explain this detail. I highly recommend this tour as it is full of fascinating history and ruins that sets the mind racing.

Very nice tour to Ephesus with a very competent and friendly guide, Filiz. The only thing I did not enjoy was the stop at a leather factory.
