What a GREAT day!!! - Emre, our tour guide, was AMAZING!!!! Great communication before and his English was perfect! We felt like he was taking his visiting family to see sites around his hometown! The arboretum was a stunning surprise, so glad we got to see it since buses are not allowed and we got to escape the cruise ship crowds! The wineries and lunch were equally stunning! By the end of the day Emre was a good friend, one that we would travel back to Turkey specifically to see and spend time with. We look forward to doing just that and coming back!!!

Best tour we ever took. - This was the best tour my wife and I have taken. Emre was great from the first time we talked till the end. We had a private luxury van, very comfortable and COOL. Emre explained Ephesus in detail and took us to local shops with pieces made by locals. The lunch was delicious, plentiful and at a beautiful setting. We met Emre’s wife and felt lucky to have had this experience. Highly recommend

A Memorable Day Thanks to Our Guide - We’ve hired guides for site tours in many, many places over the years. Our private guide Nesrin was excellent. She made a tour of a crowded Ephesus seem, well, less crowded. The traditional lunch at the weaving co-op was delicious and the winery tasting capped off the day perfectly. Our driver Baris was courteous and the van was spacious. Above all, we know that the guide makes or breaks a private tour and Nesrin was a “10”. Ask for her and elevate a “great” day to “memorable”!

INCREDIBLE Tour! - Our tour guide (Elias) was thorough & engaging. The tour was customized to our needs and we enjoyed it immensely. We were picked up in style & luxury in a VERY nice Mercedes van. The tour of Ephesus was incredible & informative. Our lunch was nicely prepared with generous portions & was very tasty. The last stop was the wine tasting and it included 5 wines with snacks. I highly recommend this tour. It was a really fun & immersive experience

Ephesus and its environs in comfort and style - We had an absolutely wonderful time with Nesrin! She could not have been more knowledgeable or accommodating and our trip included some delightful extra experiences that could only be possible on a private tour. The lunch and included wines were both excellent generous. Also, the van was surprisingly luxurious and our driver was always at the ready. This trip is definitely a cut above other offerings in the area and well worth the price.

Best way to see Turkey. - Our tour guide Ahu was very friendly, fun and gracious. She was knowledgeable and well versed on the history of Ephesus. Guide and driver were flexible with stops, everything timed out perfectly with one extra unplanned fun stop. Lunch and wine tasting spots were not crowded and very beautiful. Would 100% recommend booking this tour.

Good value - Our guide was absolutely wonderful! He was so knowledgeable about Ephesus and the region. Lunch was lovely but I was a little surprised that we were expected to observe a sales pitch on Turkish rugs. . The wine tasting was ok, but the venue was very rushed and hurried us on. We ran out of bread to cleanse our palates between wines and were never given any additional as they were busy. The stray dogs were everywhere in the region. Heartbreaking 😢
