Cara_M, Oct 2026

Great way to see Ephesus

This was an amazing tour! The tour guide Turgut was awesome - very nice, knowledgeable, and flexible. I was so glad I had him to show me around the ruins. We even went to a local rug making school and family owned pottery business to see the native crafts. The traditional family-style Turkish lunch was in a beautiful outdoor setting and delicious. I really had a great day and felt I was in good hands. It was money well spent for the tour, and we were back to port with plenty of time to spare.

I booked the private Ephesus tour for my party of 7 during a cruise, and highly recommend this tour as a great alternative to the pricey and busy excursions available through the cruise line.

Best way to spend your time in Ephesus!

This was such an amazing experience! It was just my husband and I - so very private and personal. We felt so VIP in the beautiful luxurious van with cold beverages and a fantastic driver and our expert guide, Yusuf, was top notch. The sights were incredible, lunch was delicious, and the carpet weaving demo was exceptional - not every food we feel pressured to purchase one. It so be one of our highlights for sure!! Take this tour if it is still available. 🇮🇹💪🏼👏🏼

We had a wonderful experience touring Ephesus! We were picked up in a comfortable, spacious Mercedes van with a separate driver, which allowed our guide, Hussain, to sit with us and share the history of the area as we traveled. He was very knowledgeable and made the experience so interesting. Ephesus was incredible, and the entire tour was comfortable, informative, and well organized. Highly recommend!

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!!

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.
