Amazing experience - We had an unforgettable experience with our exceptional guide, Cetin, who led us on the most incredible tour of our travels thus far. Our day was filled with breathtaking sights, including the ancient city of Ephesus and the revered House of the Virgin Mary.
A delicious, authentic Turkish lunch was the perfect midpoint to our adventure. We were also treated to a fascinating rug-making demonstration, gaining insight into this traditional craft.
Our tour concluded with a leisurely shopping excursion at carefully curated stores, showcasing Turkey's finest treasures.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Cetin for sharing his vast knowledge and passion for history, making this tour truly unforgettable. His expertise brought ancient civilizations to life, leaving us with cherished memories.

Awesome tour with our great guide Gonca - We signed up for this tour because the excursions from the cruiseship were already sold out. We are so glad we did. It happened to be only the 2 of us with a chauffeur Mustafa and our great guide Gonca Yucel the whole day.
Our greatest concern was to be back in time for the ship departure, and Gonca was very concious of that. Once that was alleviated, we enjoyed the tour. Gonca was very personable and brought history to life, without overwhelming us with too many details.
On the way back we stopped at a carpet factory, where we learned about silkworms and how the beautiful carpets are made. Very interesting, and even though they pushed for a sale, we didn't feel overwhelmed or pressured to buy anything.
Overall, the best excursion experience on our 11-day trip in Greece!

Very Enjoyable Day - Although I had been to Greece before, I had never been to the port of Izmir so did not know what to expect on this tour. Our guide, Yram, and driver met us just outside the cruise terminal as I had been advised. The drive to Ephesus was about 1 hour through beautiful scenery, which Yram described for us.
I cannot say enough positive about Yram. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. She answered any questions we had. Once at Ephesus, she guided us through the site imparting much detail.
It was a very enjoyable day and would recommend this tour.

Fun time at Ephesus - Our guide Orkan was the best! He was fun and provided a ton of information. He showed us everything we needed to see at the ruins of Ephesus, we had a nice lunch and visited a rug making place. They weren’t overly pushy, but it was for selling the rugs. They were amazing and it was also interesting. Our time was not long in this port and he made sure we were back in plenty of time.

Great Close Up and Private Tour Around Ephesus - Leyla was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable, informative, thorough, and clear in the information about the culture and history of Ephesus. We also went to a carpet factory and learned how they make rugs and a leather factory
where we had a private fashion show and saw many fabulous clothng and jackets.
Leyla was so sweet, friendly, and personable, yet professional. I highly reccomend this private tour around Ephesus. You won't regret it. You'll learn a lot and have fun at the same time.
Our driver, Birol ws excellent too in getting us from place to place in a timely manner, having the temperature in the van comfortable and having cold water to refresh us after walking around in the hot sun at one of our stops.
