A Perfect fun interesting day - What an amazing day. The tour of Ephesus was so much better than anything we could have expected. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. She took us to a great authentic Turkish restaurant with great food which was very reasonably priced. We then went and had a demonstration on the art of traditional hand created rugs and we all love it. It was so interesting seeing how the silk is gathered and spun and the chance to see the rugs being created by hand. It is a dying art and a skill that is being lost so the facility is trying to keep the skills alive. There was no hard sell on anything just a fabulous tour. The whole tour we felt well looked after in a comfy vehicle with a great guide and so many friendly welcoming people. We had a perfect day. Thank you.

great deal - Turkey is gorgeous, but Kerem made it come alive. It is clear that he is passionate about archeology. We gained a great deal of knowledge about Ephesus' Roman past. Because of the individualized attention and comfort, the private tour was well worth the money. We shot some amazing pictures while we were at the Temple of Artemis. Kerem promptly dropped us off at the harbor. A five-star encounter!

This was one of the best historical tours i have ever taken - Our guide, Serkan, was fantastiche shared so much knowledge but kept it fun and easy to follow. I was particularly amazed by the Terrace Houses, where you can see beautiful mosaics and wall paintings that still exist after thousands of years. The Grand Theater was breathtaking, and it was incredible to think that St. Paul once preached there. Ephesus is a must-visit for history lovers!

Ephesus was an absolute highlight of our trip, and our guide, Murat, made it even more special - His storytelling skills were incredible, making us feel as if we had traveled back in time. Walking along the marble streets, seeing the Library of Celsus, and standing in the massive amphitheater were truly unforgettable moments. Murat’s explanations about Roman daily life, trade, and architecture gave us a deep appreciation of the site. Highly recommended!
