Ephesus didn’t disappoint!

Paula_K, May 2024

What an amazing tour! Between the ancient city of Ephesus and the tour of the “Virgin Mary’s’ house the tour was fantastic! Ali Tanriverdi our tour guide was excellent and spoke great English. Highly recommend this tour and guide!

Private tour Ancient Ephesus and surrounding area

george_r, May 2024

We had a wonderful private tour with ali visiting Ancient Ephesus, Mary's House, amazing lunch at a local farm and a carpet making demonstration. We visited a local farm with pottery demonstration, visited several art galleries, and leather shop for a fashion show. Such a wonderful day with Ali giving such great detail and providing the best local experience. The people Selcuk are so friendly and hospitable. Many thanks to out driver Onur as well. It was the perfect day. We feel as if we made new friends.

Ephesus tour September 2023

Yves_M, Sep 2023

First I would like to say our tour guide (Rose) was simply amazing. She had 14 years experience with incredible historic knowledge of the Ephesus sites as well as Kusudasi. She was very pleasant to listen to and attentive to all our questions and requests. The driver was also great, on time and pleasant as well. The Ephesus site was much more interesting than expected. Learned so much about early civilizations, their technology and culture. All in all this was one of my best tours and I highly recommend to anyone visiting this region. Ask for Rose to be your guide ! 5 on 5 Stars !

Our guide Luke was truly a gem. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the history and such a pleasure to learn from. He is an excellent guide and provided us with the best possible experience. We felt very fortunate to have him and highly recommend.
