Great day visiting the amazing cultural site of Ephesus

Fabulous excursion to Ephesus with Ahmed who was very informative, courteous and friendly. A perfect guide.

Sheila_C, Oct 2026

A wonderful trip to Ephesus.

The tour begins quite early but it means you get to Ephesus before it gers busy. The ruins are magnificent and the immersive experience is impressive. The trip also included a visit to Mary's house- peaceful and uplifting. Lunch, which you pay for separately, was a selection of Turkish dishes- meats, salad, dips and a very sweet dessert. This was most certainly a small group experience- we were the only people! The guide, Caran, was excellent. She has an in depth knowledge of Ephesus which she shared with us in an user friendly way. She was an absolute delight. The whole day was wonderful. And should you have Caran as your guide you will be so pleased.

An excellent tour offering good value for the cost.

From the outset the tour was very well organised and ran like clockwork. Our guide Ozzy was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made sure everyone was well looked after. I would highly recommend this tour which was less than half the price of an equivalent tour offered by TUI.

Ephesus tour with lunch: first rate!

There is lots of rough, uneven ground. The marble (and other rocks) are slippery, even when dry. Gigi was an incredible tour guide- very, very knowledgeable, personable, & flexible to your needs - I don't think I have ever had a better tour guide! I would highly recommend asking for her. The lunch on the farm, with all fresh food, was included & was delicious!

Ephesus Tour For Cruise Guests

Tegan_A, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour

Definitely book the full experience. We booked just the travel and ended up joining in on all the other activities. The guide was incredible- providing the group with a running history lesson spanning the changes in Ephesus over the many empires. The walk through the ruins in Ephesus was long so wear comfortable walking shoes. The ground was not always even so use caution if you have balance issues. Our tour guide timed our arrivals into the attractions so perfectly that we had little to no wait times to see the highlights of the tour. Lunch was delicious and the other couples on our tour were delightful. You will love 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!!

Turkish Hospitality 10/10

Hands down 1st class guide and tour. The Turkish hospitality was incredible. I left my phone at the house of the Virgin Mary and they helped turn a nightmare into a happy ending. Immediately got on the phone with their peers to secure it. Turkey will always have a special place in our hearts. Tour was fantastic and very educating. Our guide spoke incredible english and was wealth of knowledge.
