Perfect day trip off the ship - We had a wonderful time with Nesli visiting Ephesus, Artemis temple and a delicious Turkish lunch followed by carpet and jewelry shopping. It was a perfect outing for a day at port and Nesli was very knowledgeable and even taught us a little Turkish! Great day trip, highly recommend.

Stepping Into History At Ephesus - We had an unforgettable experience exploring Ephesus with Nesli as our guide. She picked us up right on time from our hotel in Selçuk and immediately made us feel at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the region. Her storytelling brought the ancient ruins to life in a way we’ll never forget. Beyond the tour, she went above and beyond by helping us arrange smooth transport to Izmir afterward. Nesli made our visit seamless, insightful, and truly special. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting the area!

Well worth the investment - Just great all round from pre-tour comms, easy pick up at port, luxurious and air con transport and a visit to absolutely world renowned sites including Ephesus, virgin Mary’s house, and temple of Artimus. Our guide Filiz was the best. Thoughtful, knowledgeable about the sites and aware of our pace and preferences. Being a private tour we were able to get ahead of the cues of buses and other tourists including from three cruise ships. Then there was the delicious lunch and my discovery of the local beer. Just all good all around

Great tour, a little something for everyone - Nargesi was a wonderful tour guide. Not just knowledgeable, but warm, friendly, and flexible. She answered our many questions about local Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman history. Moreover, she guided us to a couple high-end shopping experiences which were a highlight for those less interested in late Antiquity.

This experience is for... - This experience is for people interested in learning/seeing ancient Roman city/building, when the Roman empire was very powerful and spread through Europe and parts of Asia. The city/ruins spread over a mile, well preserved with lots of distict buildings worth exploring.

Friendly guide but disappointing lunch - I’m glad our group of 4 did the private tour! It was great having a personal guide to tell us about the culture & to answer any questions we had. Mary’s house & the ancient city of Ephesus were both great to visit & our guide was very knowledgeable. I would have given it a 5 (out of 5 ) rating, but the lunch that was “included” with the tour was basically a sales pitch at a carpet manufacturer that lasted over an hour. We had a “small” plate of local cuisine while sitting on a bench watching carpets being rolled out in front of us. It wasn’t exactly the dining experience I thought I’d have in Turkey! I also am not sure what “skip the line” means? We got in line @ Mary’s house like everyone else (although there weren’t many people ahead of us.) If you’re going during the busy season you may want to verify what that means & skip lunch (if possible.)
