Ephesus by night with Rose - Gül (Rose) was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and helpful, very kind and clear in her explanations. We visited Ephesus at night, it was all lit up, there were few people, absolutely recommended.

Best Ephesus tour! - This tour is much better than any offered by the cruise ships because it is tailored to you! Our guide, Eda, was excellent! Her English is very good- easily understood- she is very knowledgeable and answered any and all questions we had. The food was delicious- when we thought our meal was over—along came the main course! Eda then accompanied us to visit the carpet shop. It was an enjoyable and informative experience- We would rebook and ask for Eda!

Perfect tour and Length!! - We did this tour of Ephesus with Seline and it was absolutely wonderful. She was a very knowledgeable tour guide with a sweet demeanor. This tour is the perfect time length as we were done in about 4hrs. The House of Mary was a bit underwhelming. However, the outcome tour guide and other tourist attractions were awesome!!

Personalized experience you won’t forget! - We were the only group on this tour and I’m not sure that was normal or not. It was an incredible experience getting to experience all the highlights of Ephesus with a private tour guide and private driver. Essentially for the same cost as a cruise excursion but completely personalized experienced! We took our 7 year old and he enjoyed it as well.

Ephesus tour - Our guide Gul Demir was knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic and well organized. Gul gave us in depth information with warm enthusiasm. She was warm and enthusiastic. Her kindness showed in the way she avoided the crowds, made sure that our personal needs were met food, bathroom and interests. Her communication skills and organizational skills were perfect. We will let others know!

Nice tour but don't buy any jewelry from recommended stores - The tour was great but when asked about a jewelry store if it was recommended agreed good then found out items fake. Should have known and given better advice. Other info was great food superior so tour was fine but costly because of advice good place to shop costs us over 500.00. the tour company should warn us instead of taking us in there to purchase fakes.
