Great tour of Ephesus

What an incredible experience to have a private tour with EDA aka EMMA. She is a local and was extremely professional and just full of information. Her tour of Ephesus was OUTSTANDING. She is very flexible and very accommodating and I just don't think we could have had a better tour guide. The driver too was excellent 👌 These guides a highly educated and boy does it show. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer. I really loved the tour and EMMA was a big part of why.

Ephesus tour

We love our tour guide. She explained places and history that went with the ruins. We decided to walk through from the top of the trail to the bottom and enjoyed seeing the ruins. The marble tiles were beautiful and we (2 in our 80's, 2 in their 40's and a 4 yr old) finished the trail with no mishaps! We enjoyed seeing the Virgin Mary's house, eating local food, observed carpet weaving, etc.

Fans of Rhodes!

We had a wonderful day touring Rhodes. Vasilis picked our private group of 4 up in a new and very comfortable Mercedes van and was very professional. At one point we even got a bit lost walking around Lindos, but he found us no problem. We saw a great bit of the island in a little over 6 hours. All in all, a great value. Rhodes is a fantastic destination.

Taylan was absolutely the...

Taylan was absolutely the best. His command of ancient history was impressive especially when we toured Ephesus. He provided my sisters and I with cold bottled water and top shelf attention to details. He did not rush us and showed genuine interest in our wellbeing. I loved every aspect of the tour; the rug factory, the Great Theatre, the Greek store we visited and Mother Mary’s House. 5 Stars for sure. Highly recommend.

An Incredible Day in Ephesus with Aleyna!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Incredible Day in Ephesus with Aleyna!** Our tour of Ephesus with Aleyna was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our trip. The archaeological sites were simply mind-blowing—seeing so much history preserved in one place was an experience we will never forget. Aleyna was fantastic from beginning to end. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and made the entire day feel comfortable and enjoyable. We learned so much from her about Ephesus, its history, and the people who once lived there. She brought the history to life in a way that made everything we were seeing even more fascinating. The included lunch was also delicious and such a wonderful addition to the day! We came away feeling like we had experienced so much while also gaining a much deeper understanding of the history of Ephesus. For the quality of the tour, the amount we were able to see and learn, the wonderful lunch, and the personalized experience, this tour was an **exceptional value**. Thank you, Aleyna, for such a memorable day! We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ephesus—especially if you love history and want an experience that is both personal and incredibly informative. Five stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A wonderful experience in Ephesus Turkey

Kai & Sebastian were excellent guide and driver. Pick up was easy even among the chaos of coming off a cruise ship. They knew how to get ahead of the crowds but we never felt rushed. Kai was knowledgeable and informative on all 3 of our stops (we elected not to see the temple of Artemis.). The lunch was great and traditional. Afterwards we toured the carpet factory sponsored by the government. This was also informative and Kai told us we were not obliged to purchase anything. We had an early All Aboard and the men got us back in time for last minute shopping. Overall I highly recommend this tour.

Best tour guide EVER!!

Aybike was our guide! She was fantastic!! Very educated and informed about the areas we were visiting. 20 out of 10 recommend her! She enhanced our experience, answered all our questions. This was the start of our vacation and it was fantastic. Could have done without the carpet part, but that food was fabulous and I couldn’t get enough. It was a hot day and was hard to eat but I had seconds and wished I could have taken it home with me!! This IS the tour to take with Aybike if you’re in this area!!

Incredible Private Tour

I would give Memo a million out of 5 stars. He was extremely knowledgeable. He was completely in tune with the driver. We were never kept waiting. His tour was incredible and was able to adjust our tour to what our family needed and was interested in. We were traveling with toddlers and he knew every shady spot. We also had a car seat provided. He also met us where we were at. It was completely refreshing. Would do again. If you’re reading this. Thank you again! We loved it!
