Our visit to the ancient city of Ephesus - Our guide, Necat, gave us a wonderful introduction to the classical ruins at Ephesus. We saw the major sites and there was no question he could not answer about this ancient Greek city. We learned a lot and hope to return soon. And to top it off he kept us cool on a really hot day (101F) - Thanks Necat!

Great tour of Ephesus! - My husband and I were picked up at 7:30 (as recommended and great advice) from our cruise port and explored Ephesus, which was amazing! Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Having a tour guide is really helpful to help learn more about the city. I have already recommended this tour to a friend who will be going on a cruise next year.

Highly recommended - We absolutely LOVED this tour! Being private we were able to customise it to suit our families needs. Effesus was brilliant! And the knowledge our guide had made it even more meaningful and magical to explore. It was easy to find our meeting spot, the car was air conditioned and very comfortable, the site was brilliant to navigate and our guide was lovely. The rug stop was very interesting and the lunch was also great - just be confident when you say 'no thank you' if you don't want to buy anything.

Fantastic experience with our multigenerational family! - Ozzy was an amazing guide. Our family of eight, including two young kids and four seniors, had a smooth, enjoyable day. Ozzy customized the itinerary exactly as we needed to juggle seeing the most important sights with staying cool on a very hot day and getting us back to our boat on time! He had great suggestions along the way to avoid the other really large tourist groups at several sites AND gave us really interesting historical insights and local knowledge at every spot!

Fantastic! - There is a lot of walking in the sun, uneven surfaces. We did see a couple of people in wheelchairs- for one the wheelchair broke and they walked beside! Ephasus is amazing and vast. Eileen was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, gentle, and helpful to take us to everything we wanted to see. The driver was excellent too. Car super comfortable.

Ephesus is a must see - The communication from the company was great and we were well looked after by out guide and driver who added on a side trip to Mother Mary church without any extra charge. The tour company recommended an early start to avoid the crowds and heat and that was a really good idea. They picked us up from the cruise port and dropped us back in plenty of time to re-join our ship.
