Best guide ever - 10/10 Alperen made the excursion so wonderful. It was essentially like having an extension or our friend group hangout with us, but also with a wealth of knowledge.
From the moment he picked us up, he emphasized that this was our day and we had control of the schedule of events. We were picked up in a nice private vehicle and throughout the drive there he informed us of the history of the country and tied it into the actual walk through of ephesus .
The best guide we have ever had across all of our travels (and we travel a lot)

Top notch private guide tour - The experience we had was fantastic but what made it even better was our tour guide Alperen. We went as four friends and the guide and our driver was very accommodating and spoke very good English. Additionally he was very knowledgeable. We are very happy with the experience. I would recommend it 100%

Excellent private tour of Ephesus - Elçin was an excellent guide. We had a private tour for us as a couple. Elçin was knowledgeable, engaging and interesting. We love history and archaeology and were not disappointed. I highly recommend this private tour.

Fantastic tour of Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary - We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Erman visiting Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary. Erman messaged us the day introducing himself which was a nice touch and throughout the day, we enjoyed his detailed explanations which helped us appreciate all the history of everything we saw. We give Erman, the Captain ( the driver) and the overall tour a big thumbs up!

Fantastic Tour of Historic Ephesus - Erman not only nice and full of humor but also was extremely thorough and gave us a very well informed tour of Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary. The cherry on top was the very jovial Captain Gengis. Highly recommend the Gezenthi agency.

Ephesus Ancient City Tour - Me and my wife visited Izmir Turkey in March 2031. Our Ephesus Tour guide Mr. Nesim was amazing. He covered the tour From A to Z very well. Ha had full knowledge of the historical aspects of all the places we visited like the Ephesus ancient City and the surroundings. He also did put extra effort and took us to the places which were not covered in the original tour plan. He also was very friendly so we enjoyed his company. He kept clicking pictures for us without even us asking him
Overall it was an alround 5 star tour. If we ever go back to Turkey, we are going to hire him again
