Well prepared and competent guide all along - Wonderful place, with an organized program and all transfers included. We brought back great memories and we are thankful for the great experience! A special thanks to Umut our local guide in Ephesus, always cheerful and patient with our little kid of 7. I truly recommend them for their professionalism, great advice on what to visit, and for their outstanding availability.

We had a great time - A fantastic experience from beginning to end! The tour guide we had was great: friendly, well-informed, and not just reciting from a memorized script. He was excellent! I would recommend him with absolutely no reservations.

Our local guide was amazing, and he had the patience to guide us with anything we asked - Whenever I travel anywhere, I like to take a tour to get to know the place and all the popular areas. This tour was very informative and fun, our local guide Bilal did a great job and was super knowledgeable about the city of Ephesus. He also had some good jokes and kept us entertained! Would highly recommend this tour if you're traveling to Kusadasi, and ask for Bilal if you can.

It was a 4-hour journey, and we covered a lot of territory, including Ephesus, Meryemana, and the temple of Artemis. - We booked the tour to the city of Ephesus. Umut was our host for the day. He peppered the basic facts with fun information and even a few oddities. He has a wonderful personality, and he made the whole day better by being his delightful self. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful - We visited many places and learned a lot more than we knew about the area because of our tour guide, who has an ample amount of knowledge about the history of Ephesus. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about Ephesus' history.
