Fascinating , fun and flexible! - The experience from start to finish was better than I anticipated. Making reservations through Ephesus shuttle was very efficient. The correspondence was excellent as any questions I had were promptly answered. Our driver, Salih, and guide,Secil, were beyond professional and friendly. Secil was flexible and made sure the day was centered around our priorities. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of her country which made us excited to learn. She planned the timing of the various sites around the number of tourists so we avoided long lines. She recommended a restaurant which was delicious, and one of the best meals we have had in Turkey thus far. We were delighted that she and Salih joined us for lunch! She answered our questions even if unrelated directly to the tour. We will request her in a heart beat upon our return with other friends. And, Salih too! We had a wonderful day filled with a lot of great information/history and fun. Highly recommend this tour without reservation. Thank you, Secil!

A must see - the city of Ephesus - This is my second visit to Ephesus, I decided to go again because the first time I went in the summer and it was too hot. This time I decided to go for a private tour, our tour guide Özlem was very professional and friendly, she shared with us a lot of information and fun facts about the city and the way of life in it, we had so much fun and enjoyed the trip this time around. I would definitely recommend this tour.

A pleasant private tour - The guide is very nice and well informed. He carefully discussed the itinerary with us and tried his best to satisfy our special requests. We spent more time than usual at the Ephesus Museum and the Basilica of St. John. The guide patiently waited for us. The price is also reasonable.
