Ephesus Tour / RCCL / Oct 2026 / Fatima

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. Our tour guide, Fatima, was incredibly warm and welcoming and made our first visit to Türkiye a very enjoyable one.

Best Guide Ever

Our tour guide was truly one of the highlights of our trip. What made him so exceptional was how well he read my daughter and me. He noticed what we were interested in, what we were less interested in, and somehow seemed to understand what we wanted to do, even though we didn't exactly know what we wanted! He didn't just follow a standard itinerary. He took time to show us things that connected with our interests and shared local culture and everyday life in a way that made the experience feel personal and authentic.

Rich in history. Best tour guide!

We had the best day with Urgurcan!! We had a private tour (and separate driver) and learned so much! We got to visit a lot of different places too! Turkey was our 49th country and 6th continent and Urgurcan was THE BEST tour guide we ever had! He was filled with knowledge and shared ever but he had with us! The country is beautiful and filled with history and we are blessed to have visited and picked an amazing tour! Thank you Urgucan!! (We hope to see you again!)

Full-Day Private Tour of Cappadocia's Highlights (Car&Guide )

Best of Ephesus: Private & Group Skip-the-Line Tour for Cruisers

Donald_M, Sep 2026

Ephesus and Terraced Houses

Our guide, Ogun, was excellent! He was warm and welcoming from the start and provided us with a wide range of information as we travelled to Ephesus and the temple of Artemis! The latter only consists of a single column but still worth seeing the locations where the earlier Ephesus cities were sited. Our tour of Ephesus included the terrace houses which was definitely worth doing. On site Ogun guided us at a good pace, answered questions, and looked after the group really well. He was able to paint a good picture of what life was like during this period. The amphitheater is currently closed due to remedial works to stabilise the structure so can only be viewed externally from a distance. Ephesus is always going to be a busy site with visitors but that is something you just have to accept.

Christina_W, Sep 2026

Absolutely wonderful!

Nagi was absolutely incredible! This was my be of the best tours we’ve had. She was knowledgeable and thoughtful and the pacing was perfect! Do not miss Ephesus. The barbecue lunch was wonderful (and I’m a pretty picky eater). I know people have complained about the carpet demonstration, but we really enjoyed it and learned so much. Watching silkworm cocoons turned into thread was a highlight. They showed off their rugs, but we just make it clear that we wouldn’t be buying one today, but that we lived learned about their craft, and there was no pressure. Just great hospitality. You won’t regret taking this tour. And the weather at the end of September was perfection!!!

Jane_C, Sep 2026

Highly recommend this tour

Melissa from Bergin Tours was a charming, considerate and knowledgeable guide who tailored the tour to meet our needs. A truly awe-inspiring place and we were very pleased she suggested we spent 15 minutes in the virtual reality museum which really brought it alive. Very glad also to have seen the Virgin Mary’s house which had a calm, peaceful aura about it. We didn’t want to go for the lunch at the rug place and there was no issue about missing that. Definitely worth the extra cost for private guide and driver with all entrance tickets included. Highly recommend

A nice 6 hour tour with...

A nice 6 hour tour with our guide oguzhan, full of facts and information about the area and culture, jam packed of things to see, and a delicious stop off for lunch would definitely recommend this tour to anyone travelling to the area in a short space of time, picked up and dropped off to my hotel, couldn't have done more to make the tour effort less and informative

Full Day Cappadocia Tour( Red Tour + Underground City )

Maurizio_C, Aug 2026

Red tour Cappadoccia

Great way to spend a day in and around Göreme and surrounds to see and do all of the sights in one comfortable day, with everything organised for you. Our travel guide a Dunë was also so lovely and knowledgeable and very sweet and made sure everyone was well looked after. You will have to pay for lunch (which was really affordable and delicious by the way) and ticketed entry to the sights, which works well especially if with a group and some do not want to visit a particular place.

Perfect Itinerary and Guide (Tayfun)

Our guide, Tayfun, was excellent. We did a private tour and communicated with the tour company in advance about what we’d most like to see. Tayfun customized our experience to be exactly what we wanted and gave us tons of historical info for context. Highly recommend!

Turkey Classics 7 Day Escorted Tour from Istanbul

Jerilyn_W, May 2026

Perfect way to experience Turkey

Our multi day tour from Istanbul through the Cappadocia region was one of the highlights of our time in Türkiye. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. The real star of the trip was our guide, Turgay (Tour-guy) Yuzuak. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and geography of the region, but what made the tour special was his warm and personable style. He made everyone feel welcome, answered endless questions with patience and humor, and shared fascinating local insights that we never would have discovered on our own. The itinerary was excellent and struck a perfect balance between famous highlights and smaller local experiences. Seeing the fairy chimneys, underground cities, cave churches, and panoramic valleys of Cappadocia was unforgettable. Travel days were smooth and never felt rushed. The accommodations were also much nicer than expected, especially the cave hotel experience, which added a unique touch to the trip. The restaurants throughout the tour were another pleasant surprise. We enjoyed a wide variety of delicious Turkish dishes, and every meal felt thoughtfully chosen rather than just a tourist stop. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Cappadocia comfortably while learning deeply about the region and enjoying authentic Turkish hospitality.

Istanbul Hodjapasha Rhythm of The Dance Show

Ed_W, May 2026

I went to this a few...

I went to this a few years ago and it was better than I remembered. It’s a great venue, with all seats close. Really good dancing, which gets better as the show progresses. They have interesting costumes and cool lighting. There is a drummer for part of the show that is excellent. A fun experience.
