Amazing day and your guide - Our trip was brilliant. Great locations visited. Lots of interesting things we saw and learned. Pick up process was perfect. And our guide Alayna was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and helpful. And our driver was great too. We could not rate this trip any better. It was all excellent. Thank you.

Biblical Tour of Ephesus - Melih was an incredible tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable. We requested an emphasis on Biblical History and we were impressed with his knowledge. He also did a great job accommodating my parents’ disabilities. We highly recommend this tour.

Incredibe tour - You get to see the same things but at a much cheaper price than Celebrity and includes a delicious lunch. You also do less walking because unlike a tour bus it meets you at a location where you end up when you decide to head back. No need to climb back up to where you were dropped off initially. Definitely worth it!

Great value for an amazing experience, loved our tour guide - Our guide, Nahide, provided an excellent experience. She was passionate about sharing the local culture and bringing us to the sites that best exemplified this. While many other tours can feel rushed and rigid, Nahide took into account what we were looking to do and combined that with her expertise of the culture to provide an amazing day. She even organized a visit to a Turkish bathhouse for us after our tour which we enjoyed immensely! We would highly recommend her to any family or friends visiting the local area.

Wonderful experience! Huge thumbs up from my whole family! - Kerem was wonderful. He picked up our whole family right at the dock and we were on our way. Our driver was great and Kerem showed us all the best sites of Ephesus based on our requests. He even added several stops that were perfect for our family to have a great experience. Even the kids enjoyed it. I'd highly recommend this trip and Kerem as a tour guide.

Wonderful day-long tour of Ephasus and beyond - Touring Ephasus was wonderful, but equally as pleasurable were the stops we made for a delicious traditional lunch and rug-making demonstration, a generations-old ceramics store where I enjoyed a delightful conversation with one of the owners, and visiting the leather goods store. The tour guide tailored the day to my desires, was informative, and made for a very interesting day without feeling rushed despite the variety of all we were able to see.
