Marvelous day at Ephesus & Home of Mary - We had a marvelous day touring Ephesus and the Home of Mary. Our guide, Selcuk, spoke excellent English and was waiting for us right outside of baggage claim at Izmir airport when we arrived from Istanbul. Selcuk provided a wealth of information about the special places we visited as well as about Turkey, its history, culture and people. After a delicious local lunch and stops to learn about carpet and pottery making, he returned us to the airport to continue our travels. Amazing all that we did in one day and never felt rushed. Highly recommend this tour and especially our guide!

Private tour was worth it! - My wife and I loved our tour. We booked it last minute and had a limited amount of time. They were very accommodating. They picked us up from Izmir airport and dropped us off at our Airbnb in Çeşme after the tour was finished. We got to see everything we wanted and learned so much. We definitely recommend!

Fantastic private tour to Ephesus from Izmir with side trip to Temple of Artemis - I saw on Viator that all the tours were full for the following day so I reached out to Viator chat and told them what I was looking for (a last minute private tour from Izmir to Ephesus with a stop to see the Temple of Artemis). Within minutes they were able to connect me to this tour group and I couldnt have asked for a better tour guide (Afşin) and driver. They were both extremely polite and accommodating and went above and beyond. I highly recommend their services.

Excellent Experience Exploring Ephesus - We were very pleased with the arrangements made by Explore Ephesus by Local Guides.
Right from the start they were very helpful in suggesting the best option suited for our needs and budget and thereafter going above and beyond in coordinating with us every step of the way.
Our driver Selcuk was professional, polite and extremely kind - assisting us with entry tickets and keeping us entertained en route with lively conversation.
Prices were very fair and the whole process from end to end was super easy.
Ephesus itself is a definite must see for anyone interested in history, architecture and culture.
We would whole-heartedly recommend this tour and the agency to all.

7 Churches of Revelation for 2 people - Our guide Nazim was an outstanding source of information. He was knowledgeable about all the areas, teaching us the historical backgrounds and timelines of each site. He did a fantastic job of our 7 churches tour. We would highly recommend him and may come back to Turkey with our friends for another tour
The driver, Kemal was great in traffic and was a very skilled driver. We felt safe and well cared for. The van was very comfortable and had cold water and pillows for the longer drives.
Altogether a wonderful experience for us. Thank you Nazim and Kemal!!

Ephesus and more - Selcuk was a very friendly, professional and accommodating guide. We were picked up early and transported in a clean spacious comfortable vehicle. Selcuk was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Ephesus and wider region with very good command of English. In the spare time we had we got a bonus visit to a family owned pottery gallery which had exquisite artwork. Thanks for a great and very interesting day! Ephesus is most impressive!
