Excellent tour with a terrific host - Abe was excellent. His knowledge of Ephesus was outstanding, and we opted for a more religion based tour. This was the best tour we had been on. Lunch was very nice too, and healthy as well. Be prepared to learn heaps. I know we did. 10 out of 10 for this tour.

Gozde made our day memorable! - We had such a great day with Gozde. She was accommodating, learned what we were interested in, and made sure we did everything we wanted to see. We had great conversation during lunch and would book with her again.

Gozde - The Tour Guide for your trip to Ephesus! - The Private Biblical Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi was AMAZING! Our tour guide, Gozde (aka "Gigi") was full of knowledge and information. She greeted us enthusiastically, and took our needs and wants into consideration. She even adjusted the itinerary to tailor our interests. The Ephesus site itself was full of Biblical History, coupled with Turkiye history. The lunch was delicious and Gigi even set up an impromptu Leather Fashion Show (my wife had mentioned something about leather purses, so Gigi arranged it!). I would recommend this tour for anyone going to Ephesus!

Tour EN family - We trust EN the guide without having previously reviewed the planned route. The guide changed NO route without asking and until we reached the boat we did not realize. Turns out we visited NO church DE San Juan, nor did he ask us... he took us to a DE leather shop, which we happened to like. But if we knew we were NO longer missing the visit to the cappella, we wouldn't have accepted... Another issue ES that at the time DE finish the visit, the guide can offer the visit to the factory as an extra tour under his time... NO 5 am (DE 0940-1420) But NO unilaterally DE since arriving at the boat and discovering the route actually contracted we feel deceived... POR else all good.
