Cruise Excursion through Ephesus - This is a wonderful tour through Ephesus! Our guide Hakan was very knowledgeable and kind to ensure that we had a pleasurable experience. Private car picks you up right from the cruise port and drives around all of the highlights of the city.

Give Nick a raise! - Nick is a thoughtful, informative, and quite knowledgable guide. My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with him (except for the crazy Athens traffic!). We recommend Nick and this company to other Christians, as well as to those who are intrigued by history.

Spanish option - A+++ guide, Ferah! - We had an amazing tour experience! Ferah was incredibly knowledgeable and took her time explaining everything thoroughly, which made the tour even more enjoyable and informative. The private car was spotless and very comfortable, and she even offered us water during the ride. She was also kind enough to take plenty of photos for us, which we really appreciated. It was very easy to find her once we got off the cruise, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend 100%.

Outstanding insights into history - This tour exceeded our expectations. The insights on history of the area were relevant and fascinating. Our tour guide Bagum had 15 years of experience, and it showed. Thanks to her, we got some skip-the-line privileges. It was an outstanding experience and well worth the price.

Good tour to consider - Our guide was very knowledgeable and sweet. We had 12 and she kept us with all of us well. She knows the information well. She took us to a restaurant and the service and food were the best! It was attached to a rug store, which it was neat to see how they are made. I didn’t like how much time we spent there listening to the guy trying to sell us rugs. We had one more place to visit. We got back later than we wanted to our port so it left us with very little time to shop. I kept addressing the time issue with her so I wish she would have gotten us out of the rug place faster. The information, sites, and food were amazing, but keep up with the time!
