Incredible Private Tour

Jessica_B, Sep 2026

I would give Memo a million out of 5 stars. He was extremely knowledgeable. He was completely in tune with the driver. We were never kept waiting. His tour was incredible and was able to adjust our tour to what our family needed and was interested in. We were traveling with toddlers and he knew every shady spot. We also had a car seat provided. He also met us where we were at. It was completely refreshing. Would do again. If you’re reading this. Thank you again! We loved it!

So Glad I Took This Tour In Ephesus!

They should know, with a great guide like Murat, that they will be treated professionally and personably! They will learn a lot. He knows his tour well.

Amazing site, fabulous guide and private tour

Claire_P, Aug 2026

This was the absolute highlight of our 15 day trip. Our guide tugrul was excellent, plainly well known and respected by the other guides. The site is incredible and I am so glad I’d read up in advance and knew to ask to add the terrace houses. I am so surprised it’s not offered more regularly, there is an extra charge for it but only 15 euros each, and it was so worth it. We had to pay the entries separately but I knew this in advance and it suited us to do that. Lots of other companies accepted the booking on visitor then cancelled it and tried to get you to book direct. This was a very reasonably priced private tour - just us, comfortable vehicle, nice driver. We exchanged for liras but could have paid in euros if we wanted (the main company was slow to tell us this in pre comms so I’d already changed the money). Back to the day itself, we also did the house of the Virgin Mary and Artemis temple and there is now a 3d experience at the Ephesus archeological site which really brought to life visually everything we had seen and heard. The meeting point was easy straight off the ship with your name on a board and the guide came to find us. Great tours

Excellent experience

Sara_M, Aug 2026

Our guide, Kaya, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, and personable and friendly, as well. The vehicle was very comfortable for our party of 8. They made sure we got back to the port with plenty of time to spare. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the ancient city of Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary!

Good tour...go

Karen_H, Jul 2026

Had a nice visit to Mary's House. Guide even purchased me a Turkish tea - good stuff. On to a good tour of Ephesus. It was hot, but its July in Turkey. Its supposed to be hot. Went to temple of Artimus ruins. Stopped by turkush carpet shop where we had a demo station of weaving the rugs. All had great commentaries by guide.

Stephanie_I, Jun 2026

Kaya was excellent. He knew so much history and you can tell he deeply enjoys it. He made it fun as well. Would highly recommend this tour Kaya. His passion for history is what makes him an amazing tour guide. He taught us a lot of Turkey culture.

Biblical Ephesus

Johnene_L, May 2026

Ephesus was fantastic and the guide listened to us. Our group was small, 9, and we were in a van. The stop at the rug company was very interesting but too much of a pressure sell. The leather stop was way too much pressure with a fashion show.
