We were only 6 people in a spacious luxury mini van, very comfortable. The guide was super knowledgeable and tailored the trip to suit our needs. We saw all the sites (Mary’s House, Ephesus, Terrace Houses and the incredible Ephesus Experience Museum - do not miss out on this!). We then went to a lovely family ceramic workshop on the way home. No hard sell, just nice and chilled with coffee/tea and Turkish Delights offered while we watched a pottery demo and learned about the tiles that glow in the dark! A fabulous day out. Well worth it.

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She started our tour at the perfect place to avoid crowds, was able to get us into an interactive museum that she didn't even need to to avoid crowds again, and provided us with so much information about each spot in Ephesus. On the way there, she engaged in great conversation with us, recommended some good places for souvenirs and lunch, and told us a lot about different spots we were passing on the way to Ephesus. When I go back, I would love to have her show me around a different place. She made me fall in love with Kuşadasi!

We wanted to see the Terrace Houses in Ephesus. The ship excursions were booked, we went for a mini group tour. We expected to have 4 more people with us. No one else booked. We were the only ones on this tour. We did not signup for a private tour, just the mini one. Viator still took us instead of canceling. It was worth it!! We enjoyed the tour and will use them again in the future.

We had a great tour with Tugba, she met us at the port and then called the driver and we were off. She was well informed on the history dating back thousands of years and guided us through each site with great detail. My teenage son got to ask all his questions and she happily answered each of them. Turkey was the one stop that I was unsure what to expect and it turned out to be perfectly lovely due in part to Tugba's hospitality and expertise. I highly recommend you try this tour.

Dudu was our tour guide. The information we received about pick up from the Cruise Pier was very easy to understand and she was very prompt. We had a very comfortable minibus for our party of four. The visit to Ephasus was very informative and was conducted at a good pace for us (it was extremely hot!) We were offered the opportunity to do some shopping but decided we wanted to go back to the ship and there was no pressure to watch a carpet display. All in all I would definitely recommend this tour.

We were on a small group tour of up to 10 people but there were only four of us which was nice. Connection and pick up went well. We were transported in a nice clean van and we had no transportation issues. We did have issues with our guide..
Our first issue with the guide was the speed at which she moved. She is familiar with the walk and moved too fast considering how slippery the rocks were. We moved faster than any of the other tours around us. I know it was hot and she does this often. It seemed like she wanted to get it done. We were not short on time as we had lots of time at her friend’s shop after and we did not go over the 4 hours. I do not have mobility issues.
The second issue was with our ability to hear her. Her voice is not loud enough or strong enough for a guide. The other couple we were with were always close to her and could hear her but we could not. Quite often the other gentleman would tell us what she said. We had no problem hearing the other guides around us as they had stronger voices. I do not have hearing issues.
I would still recommend this tour because it made visiting the ruins easy. Although our guide was not loud enough and moved too fast she was a nice person.

Excellent tour with guide Mehmet Orkun. We booked a small group tour, there were only 4 in a nice size transport van. Ephesus and Terraces only, as requested, with quick stop at Artemis temple remaining column. This is exactly the tour we wanted!! No extra stops. Orkun was very accommodating, and helpful with suggestions, shopping/eating recommendations.
Tour company was very prompt in answering all my many questions.
Highly recommend this company and especially guide Orkun..

Ephesus was fascinating! We were so glad we did the terrace houses.
They are amazing. Seeing the Temple of Artemis and all the history near by was interesting. We ended the tour with a stop at a leather manufacturer. The leather was the softest leather we have ever touch. Our tour guide, Selda, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We came to Turkey on a cruise, Selda made us want to come back to Turkey and spend more time exploring the beautiful country.
