Great tour! - Great experience. The stop at the rug-weaving school was very informative. At the end, however, they really put pressure on to purchase. The guide was able to share a lot of information at the House of Mary and at the Ephesus ruins. Overall, a great tour and we would do it again.

Ask for josh - Josh was our tour guide, he was the most knowledgeable guide we’ve had in all of our travels. Josh took us to several different places and knew the history behind everything in depth.

Ephesus your from kusadasi port ( celebrity cruisers) - We had an amazing day with Fatima touring the sights in Ephesus! Fatima is very knowledgeable about her country and its history and culture. She spoke English very well and was so kind in accommodating our physical limitation.

This was by far the best tour experience we’ve had!!! - This was by far the best tour experience we’ve had!!!
Our guide Ismail Kuscu was great, friendly, polite and spoke very good English. He made accommodations to fit our needs throughout the tour. We visited Ephesus, the house of Virgin Mary and the Basilica of Saint John. These were beautiful places and a must see. He also took us to have a local home cooked meal that was excellent and there we had a complete demonstration of how they make rugs out of silk and wool. We also stopped at a ceramic shop to see how they make and decorate their beautiful pottery. Overall a great and complete tour and I highly recommend it!

Well worth it - Excellent! It was the best experience we have since we got into Turkey. The tour was well organized and they were knowledgeable and very informative. You can ask any questions from the history of the site or the culture and shopping of course.

You should hands down book this! - We had an amazing experience. The tour 100% went above and beyond our expectations. We saw all of the sites we were interested in & Zeki made sure we had an optimal experience. All items were tailored to our needs/wants. We had a family member with some walking difficulties & Zeki adjusted the tour to meet the need while still giving options for others in our group. If you are questioning where to book, this is your place.

Best Shore Excursion - Ismail and Fatima could not have made this tour more enjoyable. When 4 of our group had to cancel, the remaining 4 stayed with the private tour. Best decision we ever made. Fatima was at the pier when we got off the ship and it was non stop til she returned us on time. Our primary destination was to attend mass at the House of Mary. Fatima planned the tour around that. She had a full day for us with no hidden costs. Included were all admissions as well as lunch. Fatima was very knowledgeable and she was a pleasure to spend the day with in Turkey. Also when still in the planning stages, Ismail was very responsive to emails and suggestions for the tour. Would definitely recommend Best Turkey Tour for your shore excursion or if you plan a longer stay.

Best of Ephesus Tour - We were met at the docks by Fatima and taken to a very comfortable and clean minibus for our private tour. Fatima was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide giving us all the info on the sights we saw plus we were given all the time we needed at each stop.
The driver was perfect and we felt completely safe with him.
The restaurant we were taken to for lunch was one used by locals and the food was amazing and the drinks that were extra a very reasonable price.
I would not hesitate to recommend this company and will definitely give them a call if we come back.
