A wonderful tour of Ephesus and pamukkale and surrounds - The experience was wonderful. My husband and I were picked up from the front of our hotel by Seyhan the tour guide and Askin the driver. We were in a private Mercedes Benz van. We heard about the history of Izmir and what it us known for then we made it to Ephesus. Seyhan was very knowledgeable about the area and history of Ephesus and went to various parts of the site to explain information to us. We then went and stopped by at a Cafe with nice Turkish food and continued our trip to pamukkale. Pamukkale not only had the white stone and thermal pools it also had ruins and we walked to an amazing Roman amphitheatre. Eric organised our tour from the travel agency and ensured everything went according to plan and was very attentive. We had a very memorable time on this trip

The Perfect Ancient Ruins Day Trip - If you are up for a busy day and want a lot to see, this is the trip for you. My wife and I had an unforgettable time visiting Ephesus and Pamukkale. We had Serhan as our tour guide and we couldn’t recommend him more. He is knowledgeable, engaging, energetic, and an all around joy to be around. He is great in the guitar too! The only regret we have is that we could be in Turkey longer to spend an entire day at each site, but thanks to Serhan we did exactly what we hoped for and then some,

Book this tour!! - My wife and I did the 2 in 1 tour to see Ephesus and Pamukkale thermal springs and it was beautiful! Booking was very easy and such a smooth process. Eric handled everything for us and was phenomenal. We had our own private van, driver and tour guide. We got text confirmations from Eric, the tour guide and driver to keep us updated and everything was on time. The tour guide was amazing and knew so much information and was great about stopping to take photos for us! This long day was well worth it and we would definitely recommend!

Book this tour!!! - My wife and I did a 2 in 1 all day tour. We left Izmir and saw Ephesus and then traveled to Pamukkale to see the thermal springs. The booking was so easy and everything after was as well! We got text confirmations from the driver and tour guide letting us know what time pick up was and everything was right on time! We had our own private van with just us and the tour guide and driver. They were so helpful and full of information and we were so comfortable the entire time. The only complaint would be some of the admission fees that we were confused about and thought were included in the booking price and parking fees, but other than that it was well worth it! Our tour guide was literally amazing and could answer any question and was so nice to take pictures of us through out the trip. We would highly recommend!

A long day, but very interesting with a good guide and drive - We were staying in Izmir, but knew that we wanted to see Ephesus and try to also get to Pamukkale & Heiropolis in one day, since our time was limited. Our guide (Serhan) was very knowledgeable. We were pushing a lot into a single (long) day, but he kept us on track to make the most of each stop. Having said that, if we were doing it over, we'd opt to skip the swim in Cleopatra's pool at Pamukkale, b/c it was very crowded (we were there in August). The extra time would have been better spent at Ephesus (which was wonderful!).

Beautiful day trip - This is one of the most amazing places I’ve been in my life. Going with a tour guide makes it even better. I’ve never been to such will preserved ruins and to have a person to ask questions to, while you’re visiting allows a deeper experience. We had 2 hours to visit Ephesus which was much better than the 1 hour you apparently get from a cruise ship. We also visited the temple of Aphrodite and a leather factory.

Tour to Ephesus and Pamukkale - Beautiful views, our guide Adnan picked us up from our hotel in Izmir to bring us first to Ephesus to walk us through and tell us about the rich history, then he drove us to Pamukkale to guide us through the area while giving us plenty of time to take all of the photos we would want along the way. Adnan was very kind and wonderful throughout the whole tour.

Wonderful day trip - It was a wonderful day trip. From beginning we were updated and given details. Our guide mete kept us informed via message. I was bit skeptical how it would be to cover both Ephesus and Pamukkale on a single day. But it was relaxing and could cover all places. our guide Adnan took us to all places and gave in depth details about each of the places. He was very friendly and gave ample time to take photos or enjoy ourselves with our little one. Highly recommend it

Great option if you don’t have much time! - This tour is a great option for those that want to visit Ephesus and Pamukkale but don’t have a lot of time. Mete was in contact with us since the beginning, making sure all was fine and Adnan was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we just had a great time! I definitely recommend them.
