Education of the ages. - Cenk is a true gem, a true professional at the Doctorate level of knowledge. You will learn so much from this man, no matter your background or knowledge of the area. He takes the time to listen, impart much important context, even when you have no clue at all. Tour is no pressure, full throttle immersion into the area and time that was so long ago.

Wonderful Ephesus Tour — Highly Recommend - We had a fantastic stop in Ephesus, Turkey. Our van was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. We learned so much without ever feeling rushed. The day was very well organized and efficient, allowing us to see and experience a lot while still enjoying the pace. Lunch was wonderful and added a great local touch to the experience. Our guide did an excellent job keeping everything moving smoothly while still giving us plenty of time to take it all in. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Ephesus!

Treated Us Like Royalty - Our day with Gonca was the highlight of our Celebrity Infinity visit to Kusadasi/Ephesus. After an on-time meeting at the port, we were escorted to our comfortable and nicely appointed transportation for the excursion. Throughout our visits to the House of the Virgin Mary and the ancient city of Ephesus, she was a wealth of knowledge and information. Early in the excursion we informed her that we were not interested in a visit to a carpet factory, so she arranged (with our assent) alternative visits to the local 14th century mosque, the remains of the Temple of Artemis, and Lotus Ceramics Garden in Selçuk, where we acquired a beautifully decorated vase that will be treasured for years. This was followed by an expansive and delicious lunch at the nearby Agora restaurant. Our skilled and expert driver returned us to the port in a timely manner. Thank you for such an amazing and memorable experience!

Best experience ever, Gonca our guide, was the best we have ever had! - Better than amazing!!! This was our 4th visit to Ephesus and we decided to take a private tour. Best decision we ever made!!! The private tour allowed us to see and visit so much more than we ever would have on regular tours plus our guide Gonca, was awesome! She was totally dedicated to us as we also had a driver. She was the best guide we’ve ever had in all our years of traveling around the world. She was very knowledgeable and customized our tour to our preferences. We learned the most from her on this trip than from all other trips before. Highly recommend this company and ask for Gonca, you will not regret it!!

Superb Ephesus tour - This was a small group of friends on a cruise. All info before was superb. Pickup was well organised. Great driver and guide both friendly annd helpful we saw far more than the cruise company tour and it was organised around our wishes. Good lunch in a small restaurant. Paid on the day. Superb and I’m looking to use them again next year.

Private tour with Cem - Cem was a great guide. Very knowledgeable, patient and kind. My only negative is that I wish he had told us (or knew) that the only place to buy Ephesus gifts/souvenirs was actually at Ephesus - yes, it's a tourist trap, but we're tourists! He told us there would be other places to find these things that was less "touristy" so we ran out of there but ultimately there wasn't anywhere else that we saw these things.

Worth the price - Great tour with very knowledgeable guide (Ms. Emma). Very honest vendor. My wife got sick on the ship and wasn’t sure if she could join. Vendor allowed me to wait till morning of tour to see if she recovered. She didn’t and vendor issued refund for her without any problems. Emma was very pleasant and did a wonderful tour for us. Lunch at the carpet weaving factory was simple and informal, just like a family picnic. Good food. Worthwhile tour to book.
