Our tour guide Cenk and our driver Hasan were great! Cenk was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We were the only people in our tour group so we felt like we got the royal treatment. The transport to the airport picked us up right in front of the hotel next to our Airbnb (and dropped us off). The flights were on time and smooth. Ephesus was an awesome experience! We are so happy we decided to take this tour and we would highly recommend it.

Our guide, Nizam, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about site, area, culture, and history. Highly recommended. But make sure you bring your passport for the flight!! Long day, but the right amount of time.

We loved our day trip to Ephesus from Istanbul. While a very full day — we were not rushed and our guide Isik did a wonderful job providing historical information and setting a pace that did not seem rushed despite the full day. Isik is very knowledgeable and provided outstanding commentary throughout the day. Isik was also very tuned in to our personal needs and interests which made for a very enjoyable experience. In addition to Ephesus, we visited what is believed to be the area where the Virgin Mary may have spent her last years, and Isik introduced us to rug and pottery craftsmen providing an opportunity to purchase cherished souvenirs at incredibly reasonable prices. Further, we strolled through a local marketplace and had a delicious lunch! A perfect day! Our thanks to the local travel agency and Isik!

This was an excellent full day. It was well worth arriving early at Ephesus. The guide, Nizam , was fantastic. Great historical and social knowledge. I really enjoyed the lunch and the visit to the mountain village.

We expected the tour to include Mary’s house, Ephesus, lunch and the mountain village. We did NOT expect lunch to be at a co-op where we had to sit through a ‘demonstration’ of how rugs were woven, tea, and a sales pitch. Then we were driven to the mountain village which was nothing but a tourist trap: shops with the same stuff and ‘wine tasting’ rooms. Can’t imagine a couple glasses then having to walk the uneven, steep, streets. We were only interested in Ephesus but were rushed and the guide knew nothing of the Christian church there. She majored in being a tour guide so the university must not teach on it. I would not recommend the tour, it wasted more than half a day doing things we didn’t want to do. I loved Ephesus and would have loved more time there with a guide who majored in history vs tourism.

The tour was very well organized, and Gul, our tour guide, was amazing. She was knowledgeable and fun. Our only recommendation is that the tour could be organized to spend more time in the Ancient City of Ephesus, as there was enough time it.

An awesome experience and worth the guided tour

The ruins are so vast that the tour is necessary. It means you have a clear picture of the city and its populace by the end

A fantastic trip, I would highly recommend it and our personal guide Genghis. The hilight of the trip to me was the countryside, the small village of Sirens and naturally walkimg through the remains of Ephesus. We learned so much from our guide not only about the trip, sites but also Turkey in general. It was a long day but a very rewarding one. I would recommend it, communication on the trip itself was through Whats App. Lunch was great!

We had a wonderful day trip from Istanbul which we couldn’t have arranged by ourselves, all arrangements & details were smooth and communicated very well.
Neilson our guide was a great host and very well informed on all details of the tour and Turkish life.
I highly recommend this tour to Ephesus & Selcuk.
Thank you!
