Excellent Private Tour of Ruins and Virgin Mary House! - Very good private tour! We joined from a cruiseship but we are one of the few families with small children. The tour was perfect for our needs. The guide knew when we could bring the strollers and not to bring them. He also allowed a nice stop for a break for coffee and rests stops for the children. We toured a family owned shop where everything was handmade and treated to refreshments. The van was comfortable and luxurious. I would recommend this over the bus tour with the ships and the price was better. Overall its a better value than what the ship offers!

The best tour - Our tour was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment Busra greeted us at the meeting point, her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the historical landmarks and Turkish culture enriched the entire experience. Kuşadası proved to be a remarkably beautiful city, and what impressed us most was the precision of the arrangements: the luxurious Mercedes mini vans, the thoughtfully customized itinerary, and the overall professionalism of the service. The experience was seamless before, during, and after the tour. Communication was prompt and clear, and every request we made regarding specific places to visit was accommodated. We are grateful for such an outstanding experience and will gladly recommend your company to friends and family. Thank you for your excellent service. Sincerely, Edgar and Susan Sagel USA

Best tour experience ever!! - We just had an excellent day with Zephyros travel. We were collected promptly in a luxury Mercedes people carrier that was full leather and had plenty of space for only 6 guests. We travelled to the temple of Artemis which was amazing, and then to Ephesus, where Taylan our expert and knowledgeable guide brought us through the old city explaining everything. Then we had a surprise visit to a fabulous pottery shop, with a demo and the kids got to try out making a piece of pottery on the wheel!!! Lunch was lovely, with plenty of fresh salads and hot food, all clearly homemade. Then a visit to the Virgin Mary house completed our day. We were very well catered for and would highly recommend Zephyros travel. In addition, it was far better value than the tours our hotel was offering, high quality at a very good price.
