First timer! - Amazing tour! Booked the tour with friends and another group that was in the same NCL cruise with me. I learned a lot and was able to take many pictures. Thank you so much!

A well worth tour - My wife and i were very pleased with our trip to Ephesus. Our tour guide was personable and informative. He knew lots of details and little tidbits that made our time in Ephesus memorable. We highly recommend this Ephesus tour.

Fantastic tour of Ephesus - During our recent cruise from Athens to various ports in Greece and Turkey, we booked a mini group shuttle with Ephesus Shuttle to the historic Ephesus ruins. Our tour guide Simon was waiting for us just outside the cruise terminal with a sign with our name on it. We toured with another couple. The driver of the very nice van drove us to Ephesus in around 30 minutes. Simon personally escorted our small group providing in depth commentary at each significant station around the site. We also saw a very well done video presentation included in our admission. After our tour of Ephesus we also visited a very interesting family run ceramic shop and a couple of other historical sites. We were dropped off near the ship at the conclusion of the tour. The fee that we paid included entrance to Ephesus, the video presentation, the tour narration and of course, the transportation. This tour was one of the highlights of our entire cruise. I highly recommend Ephesus Shuttle for anyone that wants a first class tour of the amazing Ephesus ruins for not much more than the admission to the site.

Overall, the experience was wonderful. Having entry prices included with the tour was also very nice. - Our tour guide was exceptional. He provided a great deal of history and accommodated all of our expectations. Communication with the company was punctual and helpful. We would highly recommend this company.

Fantastic Ephesus Experience! - What a WONDERFUL day! We toured historic Ephesus on a beautiful day with our FABULOUS tour guide, Pinar. She made sure we were able to see all the things we wanted to see, and allowed us to avoid the things we didn't. She was so knowledgeable and kind. We had a lovely day walking along and learning SO MUCH about Turkey's history. I'm sure we asked a million questions, but we received a million very patient and knowledgeable answers. We even loved the 15 minute reimagination show which allowed us to visualize and "experience" what Ephesus was like. Every aspect of our day was well thought out and curated by Pinar. We were so grateful! Pinar made our day extra special. A private tour is the way to go if you want to avoid waiting for 30 other people in your group to take the same old selfies. Ephesus Shuttle offers great tours at great prices. I would definitely book them again on any return trips to Turkey!

Excellent guide! - Excellent tour guide! Also lunch was great! We didn’t like going to see how the rugs were made and then sales people trying to pressure us to purchase a rug! We were on a private tour. Guide was very attentive to what are needs were!

Highly recommend - We had a fantastic tour with Nejdet - he was so friendly and knowledgable and definately made our tour. He was very accommodating with all our requests and we would highly recommend him and Ephesus Shuttle they all really went above and beyond.

Very good - The guide and driver are both very good & professional. The Ephesus are a must to see when you are in Kusadasi. I will highly recommend this tour.

Kusadasi and Ephesus - Fantastic experience with the Gorky guide very good and very engaging and prepared, travel with extra luxury van all for us, wonderful places and maximum elasticity for schedules. Accurate and punctual pick up at Kusadasi port

Great tour of Ephesus...not so great rug factory experience. - We had a good experience, for the most part, on this tour. Gonca was a delightful tour guide. Her English was excellent, and she tailored her comments to the wide range of ages and interests. We were a party/family of six, with ages ranging from 25-59. Gonca met us right at the appointed place off the cruise ship, and led us to the private van and driver. After a quick ride to Ephesus, she advised us about the heat, sunshine and need to stay hydrated. After a guided walk through the ruins, we went to the Temple of Artemis, which isn't much to see. We had some time to kill before lunch, so even though I had put in the tour order that I didn't want any "factory tours", we ended up at a "school" that makes rugs. After a very interesting presentation, we ended up in a display room. Under the guise of "Turkish hospitality", we were offered a beverage and while drinking the coffee, etc...the hard sell of buying on of their rugs was rolled out (pun intended.) The carpet experience was the one negative of this tour. The young adults felt that we were being held captive and forced into buying a rug that we didn't want...I was more alert to this game, and knew what we were in for...didn't like it, but at least I knew how this was going to play out. After a lot of give and take, we actually bought a small carpet that we liked, but this experience was something we talked about (not in a good way) the rest of the trip. I don't blame Gonca, though no doubt there was a kick-back to the tour company for bringing people in, maybe even a commission. I don't hold it against Gonca or Ephesus Shuttle, it's basic business, I just wish the carpet sales people were a little easier to deal with, and wish my family didn't feel captive. We ended at lunch at a local place, which was delightful and delicious. I would use Ephesus Shuttle again, and would request Gonca, but I would be clear not to take us to the rug factory or the pottery studio...just the historical sites.
