Excellent day touring Ephesus and Virgin Mary’s house - We had an incredible day visiting the ruins in Ephesus and the Virgin Mary’s house. Both sites are truly breathtaking and a treat for those who love history and landmarks of biblical significance. We also thoroughly enjoyed the context provided by our tour guide Hakan, who was highly experienced and knowledgeable and was able to communicate important facts about both sites to our family in both English and Spanish. Hakan was incredibly friendly and engaging and we highly recommend!!

Amazing Tour of Roman Ruins in Ephesus - We had an amazing day exploring the beautiful roman ruins of Ephesus and the house of Virgin Mary! A million thanks to our excellent tour guide Hakan, who provided commentary in both english AND spanish for our group!! Also Hakan was very comical and he was happy to answer all of our questions and teach us about Turkish culture! He picked us up right on time from the Izmir port and the car was very fancy and clean! We returned with plenty of time back to our cruise ship, after a stress-free enjoyable day! :) The ruins themselves were an impressive sight to behold! Loved every minute of this tour, so worth it if you’re in Izmir for a day!

Great tour. Deceptive shopping. . - The tour itself and the time spent with our tour guide certainly deserved five stars. We only give it three stars because of the piece of jewelry we bought outside of the Virgin Mary site. We realize now it is clearly a fake and ridiculously overpriced. It was the job of our tour guide to ensure that we were not taken advantage of. We were HIS responsibility. He guided us to the store and ensured us we were in good hands. We trusted him. The stone is known as Sultanate and is supposed to change color. It certainly changed color in the store. It has not changed color since we have left Turkey. I am heartbroken. And there is no recourse. Lesson learned.
