Excellent tour, and an excellent tour guide! - We did a day tour from Kusadasi to Ephesus and Sirince. A van picked us up from our Kusadasi hotel on schedule, and drove us to Selcuk to meet the rest of the small group of six of us in total. Our guide for the day was Nizam.. and what a fantastic guide he was! He was witty, articulate and easy to understand, knew the history where we went, could answer our questions, and kept us all in splits with his anecdotes and stories. He made the tour come alive. He kept us notified about the next places we'd see; how much time we had at each stop, where to meet, and how we were tracking with the schedule. We have had a number of guided tours in Turkey and other countries; and I can, without a doubt, say that he is one of the very best guides we have had. The tour was everything that was stated in the schedule. We visited Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis, and the small and pretty village of Sirince. We were not rushed thru the sights, and had enough time to see what we wanted. We also visited a leather clothing factory, and a carpet weaving / manufacturing place. Thankfully, we did not spend any more time there than necessary. Lunch was at a lovely restaurant; and it wasn't the usual smorgasbord / buffet of not-so-memorable food, as is usually the case in many other tours. We had fresh vegetables, bread, dips, and chicken/meatballs and rice.; all in a nice garden setting, with white tablecloths and great service. I'd recommend this tour. And make sure you ask for Nizam.

Great Trip - This was an excellent trip! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. We enjoyed the food at lunch. Our hotel was quite far from the site yet we were picked up on time. Overall, lots to see and experience.

Excellent tour with Melike - This was an excellent tour in which I learned a lot. Very professional organisation by Melike, who was very well informed, and is clearly passionate about Ephesus and about tour guiding. She handled a difficult situation very well when one member of the group got lost. Melike managed to find the person quickly so we could all continue with our tour. Thank you Melike for a great day!

Melike = Best Tour Guide Ever⭐️ - This day trip to Ephesus (as well as The House of Virgin Mary, Temple of Artemis and Sirince) was one of the best trips I have been on. Not only were the locations interesting and beautiful, but our day was enhanced by our tour guide Melike, who was extremely friendly and knowledgable about each location. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would 100% recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ephesus Day Tour - Melike was an amazing guide, so informative, descriptive and personable- with a brilliant sense of humour! Our driver Erdale made us feel safe winding up and down the mountains and refreshing our water bottles on a very hot day! The lunch was the best so far! Highly recommend Apasas Travel for booking excursions in the area as it was well organised and on time!

An excellent day - We had taken this tour previously and really enjoyed it, so we were happy to take the opportunity to do it again this time accompanied by my sister. So happy to find that the tour was every bit as enjoyable as we remembered. Having Nazim as our tour guide made everything even more enjoyable. He was considerate and helpful, he was able to tailor our visits to suit all of us and we never felt rushed. A great way to see a lot in one day.

The small group excursion... - The small group excursion with Nazim was both entertaining and informative. He thoughtfully arranged places and times to suit our particular group. We had done this particular excursion previously and enjoyed it, but this time it was even better.

Wonderful tour - The overall tour was wonderful and well-planned to cover all the agendas. The tour guide (Gül) was really nice and be able to speak fluent English, explains everything clearly with full of information.

Fun tour with a gem of a guide - The tour of Ephesus was great despite there being a million other visitors from the cruise ships that day. The guide Nizam Aziz was the best part of the tour. He spoke perfect English, was very informative and entertained us with his very funny jokes all along tje way. He was the reason why the group socialised well during the tour. The negatives was that the visit to Sirince was hardly a visit with no time to view it because the commercial stops took too long.

Great tour guide…. But plz no shopping! - Our tour guide was really exceptional—personable, knowledgeable, charming. It respected the notion of a small tour (six ppl that day) as opposed to the many tour groups from cruise ships that also visit. My reason for giving four stars is that we spent a lot of time visiting shops—three hours in three shops total which was exhausting. That seems to be the way of things in Turkiye but nonetheless a thorn in my side.
