Lindsay_D, Jun 2026

Ephesus full day!

We had a great tour with Canan! The pick up from the port was easy to find and the private van was just a short walk from there. Canan was very knowledgeable and the tour of Ephesus was amazing! We stopped for a quick break and enjoyed local Turkish cuisine and a visit to a carpet manufacturer. Great tour! Highly recommend Canan!

Our tour guide was Tolga was Fantastic!! She was very knowledgeable, we were able to go at our own pace vs being in a big group. We saw a lot, Virgin Mary House was an added bonus that I didn’t know about. We love history and Ephesus was beautiful to see.

Halfday Tour of Kusadasi

This was an amazing tour thanks to our guide Selin, her energy and personal knowledge of her hometown Kusadasi and of the beautiful ruins of Ephesus showed the whole time. A half day is perfect. The best way to experience this amazing wonder is with a guide like Selin. We loved her insight, but she was also a lot of fun as she protected us from the larger crowds and knew the best picture spots. Surprisingly the indoor presentation was so unique we'd highly recommend it, no wonder it is widely acclaimed. Lunch was so good and fresh, she took us to a great place. We had a very good time. Thank you Selin.

Best tour we have had. ...

Best tour we have had. The guide met us and had a sign so we knew it was our tour. Very small group in an excellent vehicle. Walking around he even was able to assist my wife walking thru the site. We made multiple stops and he was always attentive and professional. What a great experience we would ask for him again

A personal tour is the way to go.

A private tour is the way to go. Our tour guide, Melisa, was amazing. She was so personable and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed spending our time with her. She was great about letting us see what we wanted to see and was very accommodating. Ephesus is a lovely place with a rich history. I’m so glad we came to visit.

The process from leaving...

The process from leaving the boat to boarding our minivan was very efficient. Our Guide/Host was Gonca who was extremely knowledgeable about the ruins and the surrounding area. As it was just my wife and I the tour was tailored to our needs. We got a very personal tour and we enjoyed it immensely. Ensure you visit the terrace house. For anyone else thinking about this tour if your boat gets in early ensure you do the early tour. Not just to avoid the heat but the crowds. When we left Ephesus the line of buses and cars was extremely long. On the return journey to port we visited Heirloom weaving centre. A local co operative teaching skills to local women. The time and skill to make each article whether silk or wool was amazing. Some time was spent showing us the many different designs, colours and materials. This co operative also had a jewellery section with lots of options for you to look at. This also supported the locals. We had a exceptional day.

Highly Recommend

Ilgu was fantastic. Super informative and considerate taking note of shaded areas for explaining what we were going to see ahead. Our teenagers were more engaged and enjoyed this more than other tours in Rome. The transportation was also very nice picking us up from the port and getting us back in plenty of time.

Cem is a gem!

Cem (pronounced “gem”) was an excellent tour guide! He was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited Ephesus and toured the ancient city and terrace houses, which should not be missed! We added a stop at the House of the Virgin Mary, and Cem and the tour company were easy to work with in making the change to the itinerary. We also stopped at the Temple of Artemis and had lunch and a rug tour which was fascinating! We would definitely highly recommend this tour and specifically Cem!

Great Tour!

We had 8 in our group and we all agreed that this was our best tour of our cruise especially since it was just our group in the van, well worth it! Our guide, Najdet, shared so much historical information regarding Turkey and the sites we were visiting and he also guided us through all the sites. I highly recommend this tour.

Stop and book this now! So good!

Mary's home and Ephesus are must see if youre traveling to the area. To have a personal guide through it was absolutely amazing. Adam was a wealth of knowledge and kept us entertained as well. We really enjoyed going to the carpet making school & of course had to buy one too! Our driver and Adam were kind enough to take us to an extra place where we loaded up on Turkish delight. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip!
