Great Tour in Ephesus

Rodrick_C, Apr 2026
Our guide Taz was fantastic. He is friendly, patient and exceptionally knowledgeable about history and archeology. He speaks English so clearly, you would think it's his first language. He was a great guide and we saw multiple amazing sites on our tour.

The best tour

nevatravel, Sep 2025
It was the best tour of our cruise. We previously visited Ephesus- it was also off the cruise. This time it was even better. Our guide Nejdet was a gentleman. We had a very bad experience in Bodrum previous day. He pledged to make Kusadasi visit a delight and he did deliver. We visited two new places - Priene and Miletus. Didyma was not yet open after renovations. The company contacted us in advance and offered this new itinerary. We agreed with not much enthusiasm, but it was wonderful experience. We got to the sites early in the morning and enjoyed walking without crowds. The sites are underrated. Then we headed to Ephesus and saw it with great pleasure in the new afternoon light. On the way Nej arranged a taste of quick Turkish appetizers for us as we were running late. The food and setting was very nice, we were treated as VIPs. Thank you Nej and company!
