A Day in Türkiye - Türkiye Ephesus Mother Mary’s House was a great day visit. 5 hour tour. Nejdet Kahraman was exceptional in explaining the tour and very informative of history and culture especially how religions can live together and exist side by side. Lunch was provided and was very delicious at a carpet weaving school and local food. So when you visit look up Nejdet and let him take care of you!

House of Virgin Mary/Epheus - Had a great experience doing the House of the Virgin Mary and Epheus. We were picked up at the port this morning by our lovely guide Yigit. He showed us to our bus and we headed off to the House of Virgin Mary. It was a very wet morning but Yigit gave us his umbrella for a while. He was a very good tour guide sharing all the information and knowledge. Thankfully the weather cleared up for Epheus and it was an amazing site. Well worth going to see when you are in Kusadasi. We had a great day and it was well worth the money. Would recommend to friends if they ever came to Kusadasi.

Emrey our wonderful tour guide - Emrey was our guide during our tour and we couldn't have anyone better. He thoroughly explained the history of locations we visited and we could tell how passionate he was about his culture. He also took us to a rug and leather factory which was such a wonderful experience, our group purchased various items. We asked him where we should have lunch to truly experience the local fare and he recommended we eat at the restaurant located at the rug co-op. It was such a great meal that our group kept raving about it! This tour was one of the highlights of our European tour and we believe it was because of Emrey. We don't think it would have been the same experience had it been anyone else. We highly recommend him as your your guide for future bookings!!

Unexpectedly wonderful excursion. Really enjoyed! - Amazing experience! Didn’t have high expectations based on pictures and the hot weather, but boy was I wrong. It was an amazing tour with our tour guide, Mray. He gave us early Christian History and helped us beat the crowds. He was experienced and knowledgeable about early Christian history. He gave us the option to go shopping at local artisan shops like Turkish rug factory, leather goods store and took us to a local Turkish restaurant. It was an amazing time and the food was spot on! We ended up buying more than we expected but we got great deals with high quality materials. This excursion was a highlight for our trip!

GREAT TOUR AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE - There were only 4 of us on our tour and we were picked up from Kusadasi port as we arrived on a cruise ship. Our guide was Tariq who was very friendly and informative throughout our trip - we could not have wished for a better guide. It was interesting to see the last place of residence of the Virgin Mary and the time we stayed was just about right. However, when we saw Ephesus we were blown away. This is a must see site when visiting Turkey. It is quite large and there is plenty to see and for us ranked equally with Petra in Jordan. There is so much that has been uncovered and you would need a full day to do it all justice. Overall a great day out with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Highly recommended. The transport was first class, clean and comfortable.
