Great guide at good pace - Our guide Bárbaro was very accommodating and informative and takes good care of the group. Our tour was part of a longer trip and he gave us the highlights so that in an hour and a half we got a good sense ending at the famous ancient library.

Visit to Ephesus with Hugo - I recommend this excursion to the cinema percent, Guide Hugo speaks very fluent Spanish and is very knowledgeable, thus communicating data with excellent accuracy. A 10 for him and very correct lunch.

Ephesus in the flesh - It’s my first time solo traveling and Tour Altinkum did not disappoint. The itinerary is nice, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and speaks fluent English. The lunch we had is really nice. Most importantly, I felt safe during the entire trip. Value for money is 100%!

Excellent tour! - This was an amazing tour and we gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. Esra was the name of our guide. She met us at the cruise ship drop off with her driver. She was warm, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. Knowing the history behind the site was fascinating and added tremendously to our enjoyment. I would highly recommend this tour and Esra as your guide.

Great tour. Sign up without hesitation. (a couple from USA) - Fantastic tour. Ephesus was amazing. Visit the House of Mary only if you have strong interest. Nico, the guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. . . with a good sense of humor. Included a tour of a rug factory. Of course, they were selling rugs. Outstanding quality at good prices. Lunch was good. We strongly recommend this tour.

The Best Ephesus tour!!!!! - We had the most amazing time with Ezra! I go on a lot of excursions and this was by far the best on this entire Mediterranean tour. We went to Ephesus and saw the most amazing sites. Ezra and the driver were so kind and informative. Ezra met us on time at the ship terminal and we rode in a new air conditioned van. It was very comfy. During the drive Ezra explained so much about the country. When we got to the sites Ezra’s knowledge was amazing. We soaked up all her history and were impressed at her level of knowledge. We went for a traditional Turkish lunch and ate while enjoying each others company. We booked a Turkish massage but Ezra recommended a better facility and it was closer to the cruise ship allowing us more time to relax. I wouldn’t hesitate one second and for sure book your excursion with this company. If you are lucky you might get Ezra!!!!!

Ephesus tour experience - The only site worth visiting is the Ephesus Ancient city, everything else for me was a waste of time. Lunch was great and Barb was a great tour guide. It was September and still quite hot. An umbrella for Ephesus is essential.
