Amazing!! - My parents and I did the tour of Ephesus with Marcy as our guide. Marcy went above and beyond for us when we had an unexpected change to our travel plans. She is a true gem and made it an experience to remember. Apart from her lovely and caring nature, Marcy was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the history of Ephesus - she has good sense of humor too. I would recommend going on the tour with Marcy. She is the best tour guide we have come across - 1 of a kind!

Great, informative tour, and awesome, entertaining tour guide! (VISIT TYPE has no option for FAMILY (OLD PEOPLE) - I travelled around europe for 3 weeks with my mid-70s parents and older sister. Turkey and capadoccia was our last stop so we were a bit travel weary when we got there. Not to mention it was the height of summer so the heat was considerable. Marcy, our guide though, was equal parts entertaining, informative, and sensitive enough to each member of the group's needs that the qe just thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour.
Highly recommend this tour and their group to anyone intending to go ephesus and pamukkale. 5 stars all the way.

Value for Money at Ephesus - Excellent small group trip with an excellent, knowledgable English speaking guide. It was a long day, well cramed with things to see and do, the main event being Ephesus. We also went to a carpet making factory and was given a was given fashion cat walk to model leather made into beautiful jackets. To break the day up, we had a lovely outdoor lunch on the lawn at a local restaurant.
As I said, Ephesus was the main event and it did not disappoint, covering a vast area, as we walked among the ruins, given knowledge as we went. A well spent £35 for all of this, including a pick up and return to the hotel.

Our breathtaking tour to Pamukkale and Ephesus - We flew from Istanbul to Denizli airport to spend two days in Pamukkale and Ephesus area. Transportation was arranged by the company for pick up to take us to Pamukkale, where we joined with our group. That evening, we traveled to Kusadasi, and the next day we toured Ephesus and the surrounding area.
Our Guide was Guray, who was just excellent. He took time to explain everything in detail. He connected with our family and had a very good personality. His English was very clear. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Pamukkale (aka Hierapolis) Ephesus, and Artemis temple.
He answered our questions with patience and gave good advice about prices in the area.
I would highly recommend Guray (our guide) to anyone who is planning to take this tour.
The company had arranged good transportation and was hassle free round-trip. Then we left from Izmir to Istanbul at the end of the trip.

Found the tour very... - Found the tour very interesting but the material was a bit dry. We were a family of 5 with 3 older teens/early 20's. Tour leader knew his stuff but were told 'I will lecture first and then pictures'. Tour leader was VERY knowledgeable, just the information came across like I was in a university class. I think it could have been a bit more exciting and with a bit of humour if possible to keep the audience a bit more engaged.

Good, could have been shorter and sweeter - The trip is actually half a day. I would have given it a 5* if at the end of visting the beautiful historical sites, we weren't miss lead into visiting a leather shop, carpet manufacturer, jewelery maker and pottery shop, then pressured into buying products. This was labelled as Arts and crafts.

Ephesus trip - This trip to Ephesus and the Virgin Mary's home were some of the highlights of my trip to Turkey. Transfers, guide etc. were professionaly done, bus was confirmable and lunch was really good. The big downside of this trip was the stops at a carpet showhouse and then a leather showhouse where the items were been forced on you and were very expensive. If i had want to buy a carpet or expensive leather jacket i would go to the shops myself. if these stops were deleted from this tour i would have given this 5 out of 5.
