Great day trip from Izmir - Great day trip to Ephesus from Izmir, comfortable in an air-conditioned van and a bargain for the price. Erman Uslu was our guide and he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to facilitate our visit and answer our questions. I recommend booking this trip.

Transportation and other services were flawless, but of course, the guiding service was the most important, and Mr. Erman provided very helpful and valuable information on this matter. - It was a great trip, I would choose to come back again if I return.

Great day out at Ephesus - Great day out visiting Ephesus. Our guide Erman Uslu was excellent, clearly knowledgeable about the history and the area, which he delivered in a tone and pace that was engaging and enjoyable as well as informative. Impressed by the fact that despite making our booking at the 11th hour and at 10:30 at night, both the agency and Erman contacted us to ensure we had all the details for the pickup point. Happy to recommend both Erman and the agency Gezenthi Travel, along with Get Your Guide, who we booked through.

Very good value tour, excellent guide - Erman was an extremely knowledgeable guide and did an excellent job of providing information on the history of Ephesus. The tour was very good value. We stopped at a shop on the way that had the most beautiful pottery I have seen in my life, incredibly intricate and colourful and they showed how it is made.

A beautiful day around wonders! - Ephesus was as extraordinary as expected. We chose this tour with my mother, and we are very happy we did, we highly recommend it! Easy meeting and transport, the driver was good, and Erman our guide was excellent at his job. Polite, approachable, with a lot of knowledge about the place and general historical info. Thank you Erman! Cheers!

Fantastic attraction, but questionable company and guide... - I closed the tour that didn't include tickets and lunch. When I informed that I would buy the ticket online and not "in kind" with the guide, because I had arrived late in town the night before and had not had time to withdraw the money in kind, I began to suffer clear discrimination by the guide (Erman Uslu). He visibly treated me differently than the other tourist who was also on tour (we were only in two tourists in the day). A embarrassing and discouraging situation. If the tour company has an "informal agreement" with the guide for the cases where people close the tour that does not include the tickets - as the guide himself verbalized me, this is not a problem for the consumer. It is their right to purchase tickets online if they so prefer, there is no room for discrimination as I suffered for my choice. If it is not interesting to them this scheme in which the tourist does not buy the ticket with them, they do not offer this tour option. Simple!
