The guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very professional. His passion for history made the tour come to life pick up and drop off were extremely smooth. He met me with a sign with my name and was 10 minutes early.

Good tour, but be aware of sales tactics

Kari_G, May 2025

If you have not seen ancient ruins, Ephasus is not to be missed. Our guide was very good, but be aware that they will take you to shops and other “workshops” like rug making which are really sales tactics where the guide gets a commission. If you don’t want to to go, be clear with your guide up front

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're very glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Ephesus—it's truly one of Turkey’s most extraordinary ancient sites, and we're pleased that your guide enhanced the experience with valuable insight. We also appreciate your honest comment regarding the visits to local workshops. These stops are intended to offer cultural insight into traditional crafts like rug weaving and local artistry. However, we fully understand that some guests may prefer to focus solely on historical sightseeing. To all future travelers: We always strive to tailor our tours to your interests. If you’d prefer to skip shopping or workshop stops, please feel free to let your guide or our team know in advance—we’re more than happy to adjust the itinerary to suit your preferences. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future! Warm regards,

Great private tour

We had Gizem from Turco Tours as our guide and she was fantastic. Meet us just outside terminal on time and there was only 2 of us on her small bus. We left at 8am after the main rush at 7am and got back before all the bus tours organised by Celestyal. She tailored the pace to suit us older people and was very knowledgeable and informative. Ephesus was magic. Lovely lady with great English and very friendly. Best tour so far in last 4 weeks. Highly recommended.

Cheers to Gizem!

Gizem Yanik made this tour so memorable, with her local, first hand experience living in Turkey. She was knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be around. Excellent communicator advising of weather changes, great at navigating large crowds, even suggesting restaurants at our next travel point! Highly recommend.

Dear Patricia, We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your excursion, thank you!

Nice Ephesus tour

KerryR_G, Oct 2023

Pinar Mermerci, our guide for the trip, was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the tour. The tour was very relaxed and went at a perfect pace. Pinar was able to answer all of our questions and if she didn’t know the answer, she was not afraid to look it up and provide us the best answer she could. We had an accomodating and safe driver with a very nice vehicle in which we were very comfortable. Pinar’s pleasant personality made the tour extremely enjoyable for my wife and I. Great tour!

Thank you!

Efficient tour!

Priya_R, Jun 2023

Efficient tour with a knowledgeable guide! We had two tired kids with us and our guide, Gizem, took us efficiently through the highlights of Ephesus and found a cafe for us to sit at near the Virgin Mary’s house so the kids could rest while the rest of our group finished the tour. She also guided us to multiple photo spots and took great pictures of us! The driver drove safely and the van was comfortable and air conditioned!
