Ephesus & Temple of Artemis Tour - Amazing tour thanks to our guide Filiz. She was very knowledgeable about the ancient history of Ephesus, spoke good english, gave us ample time to take many pictures and she was patient to answer all of our questions. She presented the details of ancient Ephesus in a way that made us feel like we were reliving ancient history. Filiz met us at our cruise ship and it was very easy to find her since our name was on a board in BIG letters. Our van transportation to Ephesus was very clean and comfortable. I really liked that on our entire drive to Ephesus she shared facts about the Turkish-Greece history as well as details about what we would be seeing at the ruins of ancient Ephesus and at the Temple of Artemis. If we wanted to extend our tour to include the House of Mary, a traditional Turkish lunch and a rug making demonstration, she said we could do so even though we had not pre-booked those activities. That is the first time we have ever had a tour guide offer us that type of option and, even though we decided not to extend our tour, her offer was much appreciated. My wife and I truly believe that if you will be in Kusadasi that it is very important that you take a tour with Filiz to discover the ancient city of Ephesus. For us, as Christians, it was like living the Book of Ephesians and we are so glad we got to experience this historic site.

Majestic beauty from the past that is a highlight of Türkiye! - Ephesus was really impressive. Our guide, Efe, did a great job of leading us through the city and explaining what we were seeing and its significance. My favorites were the library, with statues including Sophia along the front, and the wealthy neighborhood that they are renovating. That part cost a few extra dollars but was truly awe inspiring with mosaic floors and wall painting that was still beautiful millennia later. There’s also the largest theater in the world. It is under repairs now, but we got close enough to be very impressed!

Ephesus and Pamukkale - The cities of Ephesus and Hieropolis won’t disappoint anyone who loves archeological and historical experiences. Our guide was named Efe and he was very humble despite the region being named after him. Actually that’s just a coincidence but his comprehensive knowledge on just about everything made it feel like we were learning from the king of the city. The entire experience was perfectly managed with a high degree of professionalism and fantastic customer skills

It was fun. - It was a lot of fun. The guides were kind and the explanations were polite. Every time I asked him a question, he answered me gently. The driver was very careful and I was able to ride with peace of mind. Next time you want to ask us to tour, we’ll ask you to be with today’s guys! I am truly grateful.
