What our guests say
A casual and enlightening browse of ancient history and local culture.
Our guide was personable, engaging, and wonderfully knowledgeable. She brought Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis to life with vivid context, and the weaving‑center visit felt genuinely authentic. The traditional Turkish lunch was excellent, and the whole experience was smoothly tailored to our interests—an unforgettable day.
Aysel - Best of Ephesus tour
We LOVED this tour! Aysel was amazing. She knew so much and was very willing to answer all of our questions! We were easily able to understand Aysel’s English which made it so much easier for us learn and understand everything she told us about the rich history and culture of this area. Our driver, Mehmet, was also wonderful! We always felt safe in his very comfortable van. This tour included: Ephesus Ancient City Terrace Houses, Mary’s House, Basilica of St. John, and a stop to see how Turkish rugs are made. I recommend you book this tour if you are visiting Kusadasi!
Ephesus Tour
We had a fantastic time touring Ephesus with our guide, Omer! He was extremely knowledgeable and catered to our interests. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tour of Ephesus. Additionally, meeting point and time was very clear and made our morning easy.
Best experience
Aysel was the best tour guide that I have had, she was very informative and helpful with times, places and information. I would recommend her always
Guide makes ruins come to life
Omer was our guide and did a fantastic job. He was very thoughtful discussing the various sights that were available to us and curated a series of site visits that were very interesting to us. He is very knowledgeable, but didn’t inundate us with a list of facts. He had the unique ability to sense what we were interested in and made his comments very focused and relatable for us. Probably one of the better guides and experiences that we’ve had in our years of traveling. He exceeded our high expectations!
Friendly, easy going.
It was nice to have Bursa with us, she was someone friendly to show us around and explain to us the culture of the area. Definitely a very flexible tour with no need to rush through anything we wanted to see.
