5 stars all the way. - The pickup at our hotel was on time and our tour guide Alex and his driver explained the plan for the day. We headed out to Selcuk and visited the oldest turkish bath and a small family pottery business. This was very interesting and there was no pressure to buy. Highly enjoyable. We saw the remains of the Artemis temple and then headed up the hill to Mary's house. We were given plenty of time to explore. The next stop was Ephesus - just down the hill. Alex took us through the whole city and explained various points of interest as we walked down the main street. There was no hurry so we could stop as much as we liked and take as many pictures as we wanted. We chose to visit the terrace houses. (Highly recommended). Alex let us go at our own pace and met us a little further down the hill after we exited the terrace houses.
After leaving Ephesus we were given the option to stop at a small place for lunch, which we declined and were returned to our hotel.
Overall, the whole experience was excellent and Alex was a very informative guide.
No hesitation in giving the tour 5 stars. I think the price was very reasonable as it included all admission fees.
Highly recommend.

Highly recommend - We had a wonderful private tour with Mr. Melih. The smaller group enabled us to visit many sites that larger tour groups would not in a big tour bus. We were flexible in our scheduling on sites to visit.

Ephesus lunch rug leather tour - Was one of the best part of our 10 cruise. Loved the history there. Our tour guide was great. Lots of great information. After seeing the city we loved having lunch with him and stopping by the rug factory. My son’s rug is showing up any time now. Then off to the leather coat store my son also bought the coat and he looks very handsome in.
Great day.

Incredible day! - What an amazing experience. Fati was our driver and very responsive. Ersan was our guide. He was punctual, funny, informative, friendly, curious, and a font of knowledge. No question was too “dumb” and he knew so much history-Greek, Roman, Turkish, Biblical-that we were astounded. He gave us plenty of time to view and take in the sights. What a fantastic tour.

Good all-round experience. - Our guide/commentator was Ms. Nilgun. She met us promptly and cheerfully and led us through our visit to Ephesus, including the terraced houses. She was well-informed historically and her commentaries were precise and concise, and she happily answered any questions that were posed. There were nine family members in our group representing 3 generations, so her patience and understanding were very much appreciated when some of our group (usually grandchildren) tended to go a bit astray or get involved with the many cats on-site. Some of us had visited Ephesus a few times in the past, so we were very aware of certain stones that had been moved, while the work at the site in ongoing (for example the separation of the Nike stone from the one below it which bears the famous "check mark", which is an example of something I wanted to show the grandchildren. We declined a visit to Mary's house, and only visited one carpet establishment on our way back into Kusadasi.
