Do not have to be a history buff to LOVE this day - My group was not all that excited to take the tour to Ephesus but it seemed like the thing to do since this as a cruise stop. We could not have been more wrong and absolutely loved the entire day from start to finish. The good vibes started with the impeccable communication from the tour provider Phoenicia travel. The owners are a husband and wife team who truly care about providing a quality experience. Our guide was co-owner Nesrin. Not only was her English perfect, she was a truly lovely person who really knew her stuff and added so much to our experience. We first toured Ephesus which was truly amazing. Far more interesting than I would have thought. Nesrin's passion for the place was contagious. We did do the add-on option for the Terrace Houses which was well worth the extra 15e. We then went to a farm to eat a very tasty family-style lunch with wine. There we saw how handmade rugs are made. We were very up front we would not be buying any but they were still happy to show us how they are made. They were not pushy like I had feared. We then went to an absolutely beautiful castle looking winery for a tasting. The entire day was perfect. Nesrin even took the time to introduce my girlfriend to her friend who sells leather purses back at the port so that she could get the friends and family discount. I cannot recommend this excursion enough.

His english was excellent, easy to understand and he was very informative and you could tell he loves doing what he does! Definitely worth booking him for your travels. We left Ephesus with some great memories and awesome pictures...thank you Emry for a perfect day!

What a GREAT day!!! - Emre, our tour guide, was AMAZING!!!! Great communication before and his English was perfect! We felt like he was taking his visiting family to see sites around his hometown! The arboretum was a stunning surprise, so glad we got to see it since buses are not allowed and we got to escape the cruise ship crowds! The wineries and lunch were equally stunning! By the end of the day Emre was a good friend, one that we would travel back to Turkey specifically to see and spend time with. We look forward to doing just that and coming back!!!

Best tour we ever took. - This was the best tour my wife and I have taken. Emre was great from the first time we talked till the end. We had a private luxury van, very comfortable and COOL. Emre explained Ephesus in detail and took us to local shops with pieces made by locals. The lunch was delicious, plentiful and at a beautiful setting. We met Emre’s wife and felt lucky to have had this experience. Highly recommend

A Memorable Day Thanks to Our Guide - We’ve hired guides for site tours in many, many places over the years. Our private guide Nesrin was excellent. She made a tour of a crowded Ephesus seem, well, less crowded. The traditional lunch at the weaving co-op was delicious and the winery tasting capped off the day perfectly. Our driver Baris was courteous and the van was spacious. Above all, we know that the guide makes or breaks a private tour and Nesrin was a “10”. Ask for her and elevate a “great” day to “memorable”!

INCREDIBLE Tour! - Our tour guide (Elias) was thorough & engaging. The tour was customized to our needs and we enjoyed it immensely. We were picked up in style & luxury in a VERY nice Mercedes van. The tour of Ephesus was incredible & informative. Our lunch was nicely prepared with generous portions & was very tasty. The last stop was the wine tasting and it included 5 wines with snacks. I highly recommend this tour. It was a really fun & immersive experience
