Ephesus tour from Izmir cruise port

Myriam_M, Jan 2026

Wow, this tour was nothing else but amazing. And, let’s talk about our tour guide Fatima - very nice and kind, patient, and most of all, very knowledgeable with the history of Ephesus and the house of Virgin Mary’s site. She really took the time to explain all the need and important information needed to know and be familiar with. Also, the time she took to get us in places like outlet for the leather products and also the rug factory where they are hand made was phenomenal. I would recommend her as a tour guide. Thank you!

Best tour guide ever!

Debra_G, Oct 2025

What a great experience with Ilene and her driver. We were greeted at the gate bright and early so we could get a quick start to our tour. Ilene was so knowledgeable and articulate! She explained in detail every aspect of our tour and answered every question thoroughly. Her personality was delightful and she was very approachable and friendly. We would highly recommend her for an excellent travel experience!
