Great tour of Ephesus with Hello Ephesus - We had a private tour of the ancient city Ephesus, St John's Basilica & Virgin Mary's House with Hello Ephesus and it was the best guided tour we had for our entire 2 week trip. Our guide Ali picked us up from the harbour in Kusadasi, and started the tour with an entertaining history lesson, using a detailed map of Turkey pinned to front of our tour van. He provided lots of information and helped us navigate through the tourist crowd to see the best attractions highlights. Lunch was included as part of the tour and it was held in a garden next to a carpet shop. Very relaxing. At the end of the tour, we had time and Ali bought us turkist coffee in a shop frequented by locals. All in all, we had a wonderful day.

Best Tour of our Trip! - We recently went on a guided 12 day tour of Turkey. While in Kusadasi, our group tour had an optional excursion to Ephesus. However, this excursion did not include the Terrace Houses nor lunch, which the Hello Ephesus tour did include, and cost the same amount of money. We really wanted to see the Terrace Houses, so Hello Ephesus seemed like a much better value for our money, and it was!! A lot of people on our trip were surprised that we did a tour with a different company, but I'm so glad we did! There were 6 of us, and it was pretty much like a private tour. Our guide, Bulent, or Bill as we called him, was excellent! He spoke great English and was very knowledgeable. He knew exactly when each site would be least crowded and structured the tour as such. We got to spend as long as we wanted at each site since it was a nice small group. The van was clean and comfortable and the entire day was wonderful! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing Ephesus!
