Fantastic day in Ephesus - We had an absolutely fantastic day and couldn’t recommend the tour more. Sal took fantastic care of us and adjusted in the fly to what worked best. We had our 4 year old son and two retirees who couldn’t walk far and they were able to cater to everyone and give us a wonderful day that was unique to us.

Great way to spend a day in turkey - Great tour - we were traveling with two older adults (mid-70s) and two adults. Tuba was patient with the cadence of our group and very informative. We had plenty of time at each place, and the driver made us feel very safe. Lunch was delicious as well, and we bought a couple rugs.

Wonders of Ephesus - The trip was wonderful. Our tour guide Aleyna was extremely kind and very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and went at our pace. She gave us plenty of free time for photos and she even took the time to take photos of my wife and I. Ibrahim our driver was on time, always ready and waiting to take us to our stops. We took a private tour in a plush van and always arrived just ahead of the cruise bus tours. Overall a 5 star experience! Thank you Aleyna and Ibrahim.

Ephesus Day With Busra! - Great day today 9/21/2024! Took a tour with Busra from about 9-3 to see Mary’s Home, Ephesus, a rug making factory, and ate lunch as well and had shopping. She took time to answer all our questions and ensured we were well taken care of by navigating us carefully throughout each site. She inquired if to see what we wanted to do as well - very thoughtful!

An Unforgettable Ephesus Trip - Hands down, this tour was an amazingly first-class experience! Olgu was our tour guide and he was the absolute best! His knowledge of Ephesus, the Artemis Temple and Mother Mary’s House was just the tip of the iceberg. His wealth of knowledge goes far beyond and you can plainly see that this was not just his job but his passion. That’s not all though, his personality and charisma made the trip extremely memorable for the both of us. Throughout the whole day he took many photos for us and gave us unique opportunities we know we would have missed otherwise. During lunch, we were treated as family and were able to enjoy a traditional Turkish meal alongside Olgu. The food and company was amazing! He even squeezed in time for us to witness the process of how real Turkish rugs are handmade, a process in which we were able to partake in. We also watched how the fabric and silk is made for the rugs…It was quite the presentation and an unforgettable trip that we will remember for a lifetime. We also wanted to highlight our driver Canan. She ensured we were at all our scheduled sites on time and to our cruise port with an hour to spare and had a high level of professionalism. We DEFINITELY recommend this private tour, and more specifically Olgu, if you want a more in-depth, one-on-one, and unique experience of Ephesus and just Turkish history in general.

Amazing Experience to Ephesus and House of Mary - We had an amazing tour to visit Ephesus and House of Mary. It was the best tour experience we had in our travel. We booked a private tour for 6 people which awaited us with our name at the port exit and were transported in a very comfortable vans. Our amazing tour was made possible by our tour guide Emma. She was so patient with us and knowledgeable as well as professional. From the time the tour began, she shared so much history about Turkeye and everything about Ephesus and House of Mary. We learned so much in this tour and overall enjoyed this incredible shore excursion. The tour also included lunch which was excellent. We would give this tour more than 5 stars if we could, highly recommend it. Many thanks to Emma and our driver!!
