Experience in Kusadasi (Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary) - We were with Kutay on this tour, he was a great Guide, speaks very good Spanish and is very friendly. He did his best to avoid us long lines and how far the large crowds could be (by those coming from cruise ships). The places are very nice and have a very interesting history. Kutay explains everything very well and gave us tips to take more beautiful pictures!!

Emere Ephesus Tour - Emre was absolutely wonderful! So knowledgeable in the history of Ephesus and so friendly. Again, we have encountered another friend/family member. Definitely request him if booking. He was amazing and we had a wonderful tour of Ephesus, delicious Turkish lunch and tour of Turkish rug making. Absolutely terrific!

Cem aka "Gem" made a lasting impression on our family. Thank you! - Cem, a local having grown up in Kuşadası, was an experienced tour guide and instrumental in our family (2 adults, 2 children 11+) having such a great time visiting Turkey. Our private tour took us to the House of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus, Nakkas Rug, Şirince, and the ruins of the Temple of Artemis. Cem and his driver picked us up from the cruise port in a black limousine van with AC and educated us as we traveled between each location. Cem was personable, knowledgeable, patient, funny, and always at the ready to answer our questions or provide accurate backstory to the areas we visited. I must give a shout out to the driver as well who was always prompt and courteous by opening doors and getting us there promptly and safely. We never had to wait for the driver; he was always ready for us when we exited a location. Cem got us in and out of locations with minimal fuss allowing us to bypass huge lines through his efficient itinerary. Cem's knowledge of Turkish history, Ephesus, and the other sites enhanced our visit greatly and he never rushed us. Following his recommendation, our visit to the Nakkas Rug was calming and educational. Here we enjoyed a delicious, private Turkish lunch, a demonstration of the authentic rug creation process from the silk worms to the looms, and then a beautiful showing of Turkish rugs over Turkish coffee. The Nakkas staff were professional, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. We were never propositioned about our interest in purchasing rugs or anything else while visiting. Cem then took us to the small village of Şirince where we perused the shops picking up some affordable souvenirs before heading out to our last stop at the Temple of Artemis. I highly recommend going on this tour with Cem! We all agreed it was one of our favorite vacation days during our 16 day trip spanning Rome to Greece. Thank you Cem for making such a positive impact and lasting impression on our family. You will be remembered and we can't thank you enough. All the best!

A trip to Mary’s House & Ephesus not to be missed - We have just completed the most wonderful day trip from Bodrum > Ephesus and return. Selenay, our guide was outstanding, we haven’t had a guide with as much knowledge and passion, she certainly made the day. Our driver was the consummate professional. This Private Tour saw us visit Mary's House and surrounding archaeological sites at Ephesus, such as the Library, Temple of Hadrian, Fountain of Trajan, Gate of Hercules, the Odeon, Temple of Artemis and Cathedral of St John. To round out the day we had superb lunch set in cool surrounds of pomegranate and citrus trees at Nakkas Ephesus. Here we saw weavers, weaving their magic, and the interesting process of spinning raw silk from cocoons which capped off such a memorable day. We were here in late September and the weather was ideal. (Note to self, wear non slip shoes, when walking around Ephesus, the marble paths can be quite slippery.) If you’re looking for the perfect trip to the above, we cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
