A must do tour! - Mehmet was an incredible tour guide and made the experience truly memorable. He shared so many fascinating facts and interesting stories about each site that brought the history and culture to life. The entire tour was well organized, enjoyable, and the lunch was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an informative and wonderful experience!

Excursion to Ephesos, home of Mary and Şirince. - Erşan, our guide, gave us an esoectacular guided tour. He explained everything in a very enjoyable way with many examples of linguistic and cultural connections. He proved to have a thorough knowledge of Turkish history and the Bible. Erdal drove the van very safely and calmly. I recommend both to take guided tours and travel quietly on Turkish roads.

Professional all around - Nizam is a very experienced guide who knows all the right spots to check out and can also provide the relevant historical context. He managed the timeline of our tour perfectly so that I wouldn’t miss my flight.

Ephesus by Huray - The day was rainy and cold but Ephesus is a magical place and our guide Huray and young driver (sorry, I forgot his name :-( ) made it excellent. Being shown the wonders of life thousands of years ago by such a knowledgeable, resolute and charming young woman made it that much better. My wife and I highly recommend the experience - ask for Huray by name!

Wonderful experience - Mr. Cetin Dogan was out tour guide in Pumakkale , Ephesus area. He is not only very knowledgeable but also a very pleased and accommodating professional. We were group of 5 and all share this very favorable opinion. We would book with the same tour company in the future providing they would let us have the same tour guide.

Too much time wasted; no communication - The worst thing about this tour company was their lack of communication, and, for that reason, I would not recommend using this company. I purchased this tour specifically because it said that we could purchase the option to see the terrace houses, and I'd messaged the company 3 times over three weeks preceding our tour date to inquire about it; no response at all. When I told the guide the morning of the tour that I wanted to add the terrace houses, she said it wasn't possible. It was only when I showed her my messages that she said she could give me 20 minutes to see the terrace houses at the expense of the library (the main structure to see). Sadly, that isn't where the disappointments ended. We spent over half the tour on pointless tourist attractions: first a carpet seller disguised as lunch and then a small town that specializes in the production of the most disgusting wine I've ever tasted. I do NOT recommend this tour. All of the other tour companies we used during our time in Greece and Turkey communicated with us (at least about the pickup time the night before), and this one rushed through the sites at Ephesus without adequate detail, explanation, or opportunities for photos. If they hadn't wasted half the day at the tourist buying sites, that would have been understandable. In this case, they need to drop the tourist town and spend adequate time at Ephesus.

Good but not great! - Our experience was good not great. We did a private but want to customize some things that weren't allowed to do. We would have like to include the Ephesus Museum and spend additional free time there. We also would have included St. John Bacillica but that was not included nor could we add it.
