This is an absolute must, you must have seen and blissful with smaller cool group - We had a great day with our Guide Güray and our group of 19 people. Because of the small group we could also understand Güray well, he also had a clear and loud voice and gave us good and fascinating explanations about the area. He also took his time for everything, we were over 3 hours in the old city of Ephes where normally only 2 hours is spent. We were also given plenty of time to take pictures. Also during the ride we got a lot of info. Sirinci was also great fun walk. also the carpet weaving was Top experience, they try to sell afterwards but not intrusive. The great thing about this tour is that everything is included, transport, tickets, lunch (which was also very tasty by the way)... only the drinks you pay for yourself, but at normal prices. This tour is highly recommended, also drive comfortable mercedes van with air conditioning and careful experienced driver. Often you see cheaper prices but there are no tickets or lunch included... thx to Güray

Amazing Small Group tour! Thanks to Apasas Travel and our guide Gul Meryem! - A well planned tour with convenience, flexibility, great transport, a personal guide and wealth of knowledge is all yours with this Ephesus tour. Our guide Gul Meryem was more of a friend than guide who answered all our questions and gave a wealth of knowledge in a very jovial way. She along with the driver were very flexible to our schedule, the places we wanted to visit and also the type of restaurant we wanted to eat in. Full marks and 5 stars all the way!

Great Tour of Ephesus and more - We started our private tour in Kusadasi. They picked us up in a comfortable Mercedes mini van which had great Aircon in the 35 degree heat that was appreciated We met our charming guide at the hotel. isik was passionate about the subject matter We went to Ephesus the house of Mary and we also went to the temple of Artemis. We finished in the village of Sirince The tour was customisable. As we wanted to be dropped off in Izmir and they accommodated that for us I cannot recommend Isik highly enough. She has lots of history knowledge and was able to explain everything we saw along the way.

Great trip to Ephesus, Temple of Artemis from Kuşadasi - Enjoyed this trip a lot, Mel was a great guide and well-informed, and provided great recommendations. Small group size was ideal, and we saw lots of interesting sights throughout the tour. The standatd trip to the carpet weavers could have been shorter, but at least it was air conditioned and I got a coffee. Overall, would reccommend.
