Wonderful - Our guide Banu was very personable, kind, interesting and flexible for 3 ladies from the USA! We spent the day with her and she did everything we were interested in. I would rate the whole day a A+! So far it’s one of our greatest days!! I highly recommend Banu as a guide!!

Exceptional Tour Guide! - We had an amazing tour with Ugru our tour guide. He was beyond knowledgeable and kept my two girls, ages 7 and 10, incredibly engaged. It was nonstop information from the moment we met him to the time we got dropped off. Pick up was timely and we had a very nice Mercedes van taking us around - thank you to Ahmed the driver. I would highly recommend, using this private tour company. My 10-year-old said that this was her favorite excursion of a seven day Greek and Turkey cruise.

Ephesus- Private tour - We had a lovely time in discovering Ephesus with our private tour guide Fusun and our private driver Huysein. They knew all the ins and outs of the area we visited to got us to each location safely and quickly! Fus- was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of Mary’s House- Ephesus and the history of Turkey. We had an amazing authentic Turkish lunch and then also visited a Turkish rug store right next door to learn how their beautiful rugs were made. We enjoyed our time with both of them and were happy we booked a private tour!

Epic Ephesus! - Ephesus is a place like no other!! Our guide, Fusun was great in so many ways: she was able to call/text ahead to avoid lines; she was knowledgeable and particularly excellent at describing what we were seeing in a relatable way that really helped us feel like we were there; she was warm and friendly…. We learned so much about Ephesus, and also much about the Turkish culture and history that really added to our tour! I felt that the value was very high for the price we paid for our private tour. Would recommend this company and Fusun!

Excellent tour!!! - We really enjoyed our tour with Memo. He is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, an excellent tour guide! The van was very comfortable and air conditioning was so wonderful on a hot day. The tour was flexible, we were able to choose what we wanted to do as the day went along. Ephesus and the Terrace Houses are amazing, you don’t want to miss either. I highly recommend this tour company. We liked them so much that we used them again, this was our second visit.

Our day in Turkiye - Kaya was the best. was the most personal excursion i have ever been on. Our tour went the full 6 hours as we were non stop learning about Ephesus and Turkish Culture. Had a 6 course lunch for only $10 US. Would recommend to anyone. Lastly the van we drove in was first class.

Grateful - We were honored to be able to see Mary’s house! Our whole Kusadasi tour was a wonderful adventure in the past thanks to our wondering guide. She truly brought Ephesus to life. The tour of Mary’s house was soul-stirring. Nealkus did an awesome and one of the reasons I continue to trust Viator with my travel needs.
