Highlights

Ancient City of Ephesus - This enclosure for archaeological remains at Ephesus elegantly reconciles historic conservation with accessibility for visitors. The site of a succession of great ancient civilizations, Ephesus, on the south-west coast of modern Turkey, embodied a peculiarly fertile synthesis of architecture and culture. In 356BC the Greeks built the Artemesium (a colossal Ionic temple dedicated to Artemis the fertility goddess) which was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. During the 2nd century BC, Ephesus was the fourth largest city in the eastern Roman Empire, famous for its Artemision, the Library of Celsus and its medical school..

A wonderful cruise excursion in Turkey! - We just got back from this tour with our guide Muhammad. We are a family of seven ranging in all ages including two teenagers. Everyone agreed it was a five-star day. Muhammad was so friendly he spoke perfect English he was so knowledgeable and he made us feel very comfortable and at home we were all sad to say goodbye at the end of the day. This is a top-notch tour and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see his wonderful archaeological site. We also highly recommend stopping for lunch it was delicious and we were introduced to so many different Turkish delicacies we would not have known about if it wasn't for this stop. Well done Muhammad and his tour company!

Book this one - This was by far the best and most informative tour I've ever been on. Our tour guide, Ceyda Baydur, took the time to give a history lesson, explain everything we saw (including all of the random questions we had about the area), and make it the most personalized tour a person could give complete strangers. We were only a two person group so everything felt like a conversation between friends. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour (over a bus group) and if you can, request Ceyda. You won't regret it.

Tour at Ephesus with Birsen - The tour with Birsen was great! We had enough time to get to know the house of Mary and Ephesus and still had lunch. It was wonderful! She is a very attentive Guide! If you are Brazilian, look for it, it is not worth going by taxi.

Very pleased and wish all of the experiences were like this. - So first thing first, Sergio was absolutely fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable of all of the sites and the surrounding areas, he made our day very smooth and not a typical mundane tour guide of ancient sites. The streamlining of skipping the line is a must, no waiting in this ridiculous heat wave was worth every second. Will 100% recommend this company and this guide everyday of the week!

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time with our tour guide, Nagehan, visiting the House of Mary, Ephesus, and the Tomb of St. John. Nagehan is very knowledgeable and pleasant, providing great information about each site. She also took us to a fantastic lunch and the fascinating school of weaving. The transportation was excellent as well. I highly recommend this experience!
