Highlight of our Vacation - This was the perfect day tour! We loved every stop we made, and the local lunch spot was fantastic. Special shoutout to our tour guide, Banu, who was truly a delight! Because of our day spent with Banu, we would love to return to Turkey in the future!

Ephesus - Banu was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to the groups liking. Lunch spot she recommended was outstanding. This was our favorite tour we took on our cruise.

A great day with a great guide - Hakan gave us a fantastic tour of Ephesus and the nearby sites. We found the information about the archaeological site fascinating! Hakan is friendly and outgoing, like he was born for this. In addition to the ancient ruins, including the surprisingly interesting terrace houses, we saw another ruin (the temple of Artemis), a rug store where they demonstrated the various forms of the technique for which Türkiye is so well known, and a hidden gem, a pottery store that also produces the tiles for Topiki Palace. Note, posted this to TripAdvisor first, but misspelled Hakan’s name!

Best Ephesus guide ever - Banu from Ephesus Port Tours was the BEST tour guide I have ever had in Al my years of travel. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ephesus and Turkey as a whole, but she was extremely friendly and accomodating . She went to great lengths to find out our interests and then proceeded to organise a fabulous day, jam packed with interesting things to see and do once we had thoroughly explored Ephesus. If you are looking for a top notch guide who is knowledgeable,very well spoken and loads of fun, you can’t go past Banu. We had a fantastic day with her!

Best of Ephesus tour - We had a fabulous guide, her name was Banu. She helped us see the highlights of Ephesus that we wanted, gave us great history and we had plenty of time to enjoy the sights. She really personalized our trip by taking us to lunch at an out-of-way place that had great Turkish food. We got to see how the Turks hand weave a rug and how they hand-make their pottery. It was an overall great experience. Thank you Ephesus Port Tours and especially Banu.
