What are people saying about Izmir

Fabulous Ephesus area tour with our lovely guide Nesrin

We spent a wonderful day with our knowledgeable tour guide Nesrin and her skillful van driver in the Kusadasi area. It was just our group of 4 friends, and Nesrin met us at the cruise port in Kusadasi. Nesrin is an incredible tour guide and an even lovelier person. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her-strolling through Ephesus in the footsteps of Paul, a delicious lunch at an organic farm, a rug making demonstration (such beautiful rugs, I was so tempted but didn’t have any room measurements with me!), a ceramics studio in Selcuk where they have been making their own clay for generations and create such fine pieces, and wine tasting at 7 Bilgeler Winery (tried 5 delicious wines and had savory snacks). Ephesus is a lot of walking on uneven and sometimes slippery surfaces, and there are so many tourists visiting the site, but Nesrin knew the best route for our group (we are all almost 70 year olds), and found shady, quiet areas for explanations of what we were seeing. We had the best day with Nesrin! She and her driver were monitoring the time and got us back to the cruise ship in plenty of time for our sailing. My regret: that the cruise didn’t include at least 2 days in Kusadasi.

Great Time on This Tour!

Had a great time on this exclusive tour for me and husband. It was truly special visiting the sacred and historical sites. Our tour guide, Gokce/ Gigi was also amazing, helpful and she kept the tour interesting for us. Our driver Mehmet was equally friendly and a safe driver on the road too. Highly recommend!

Well organized and enjoyable tour of Ephesus

We had a really good experience with this tour. Ahmet was a great tour guide who could not have been more accommodating or polite. He was extremely flexible to accommodate our timeline and preferences and assisted us with parking to make everything very seamless. He was also a very knowledgeable and engaged guide. I would recommend this tour and Ahmet.

Our tour guide, Alpi, was so helpful and informative! He picked us up and gave us some history on our drive to Ephesus. We had enough time to take photos and take in the sights, while still eating and getting back at a good time. Very accommodating. Thank you, Alpi!

FROM IZMIR Cruise Port: Ephesus and Mary's House Private Tour

Fatima is a Rockstar tour guide

We had a lovely private tour in Ephesus with Fatima. She was wonderful and went above and beyond to explain the culture, and sights that we were seeing. Fatima thoughtfully arranged the day so that we would miss the crowds and never had to wait in line. Since it was a private tour, we were able to decide which places to visit and which we would skip. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Fatima for a memorable tour and personal experience.

Pamukkale Tour from Izmir

Jhalak_A, Sept 2026

Amazing to see the travertines!

Pamukkale was amazing! Our guide Ekim was also great and very punctual! I do wish we had more time at the travertines! 2 hrs to roam was just enough to make it to the end of the travertines and go to Cleopatra’s pool for 15 mins (which was 600 try extra). Maybe at 30 mins to 1 hr extra. Also the onyx factory tour is not on the tour guide - I know this is par for the course but it could be listed and shorter stay.

A memorable trip to Ephesus

I went on this wonderful trip to Ephesus with my daughter and a friend, and we all had a truly enjoyable experience. Much of the credit goes to our guide, Alperen, who was both very pleasant and a true professional. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information with genuine enthusiasm and infectious joy, making the entire visit even more memorable. We would also like to thank our driver for the safe and comfortable journey. We highly recommend this experience!

Api was an amazing guide!

I can't say enough positive things about this tour; we had an amazing time! Our guide, Api, was incredibly thorough, but, more than that, his enthusiasm, love of history, and pride in his heritage made him the #1 host out of every tour we took in our weeks through Greece and Istanbul! We took a number of guided tours in Athens, Izmir, and Istanbul, but Api was, by far, the most informative, kind, and helpful guide we encountered. He absolutely made the tour! We chose the Pide option for lunch, and enjoyed it; the transportation van was very comfortable.

PRIVATE Ephesus Full Day Tour from Izmir

BOOK THIS TOUR!!! Fabulous Experience, Brilliant Guide!

WOWOW! What a tour!!! Asli very generously picked us up from the airport with our great driver, (who introduced himself as, "Boss"), and took us straight from Izmir to our day in Ephesus. On the way, she shared tons of details about the region, and was *so* accommodating to our needs—even flipping the schedule to let us have lunch upon arrival. Asli made sure to pack our time with as much information and history as she could, and she did so from a place of deep love and enthusiasm. Ephesus was hands down the most interesting place my husband and I have ever visited, and it was all thanks to Asli's vast knowledge and passion for the region. We are so lucky to now call Asli a friend of ours, and would recommend her tour to ANYONE!!! Please book this tour if you are visiting Izmir and Ephesus!!!

10/10. The host was phenomenal in explaining the history, the variety in activities throughout the day between the ruins, witnessing a carpet/textile site near the ruins, lunch and then finishing in Sirince made for a phenomenal day. Must do activity when you’re in Izmir
