Great Trip - This was an excellent trip! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. We enjoyed the food at lunch. Our hotel was quite far from the site yet we were picked up on time. Overall, lots to see and experience.

Excellent tour with Melike - This was an excellent tour in which I learned a lot. Very professional organisation by Melike, who was very well informed, and is clearly passionate about Ephesus and about tour guiding. She handled a difficult situation very well when one member of the group got lost. Melike managed to find the person quickly so we could all continue with our tour. Thank you Melike for a great day!

Melike = Best Tour Guide Ever⭐️ - This day trip to Ephesus (as well as The House of Virgin Mary, Temple of Artemis and Sirince) was one of the best trips I have been on. Not only were the locations interesting and beautiful, but our day was enhanced by our tour guide Melike, who was extremely friendly and knowledgable about each location. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would 100% recommend.

Ephesus Day Tour - Melike was an amazing guide, so informative, descriptive and personable- with a brilliant sense of humour!
Our driver Erdale made us feel safe winding up and down the mountains and refreshing our water bottles on a very hot day!
The lunch was the best so far!
Highly recommend Apasas Travel for booking excursions in the area as it was well organised and on time!

An excellent day - We had taken this tour previously and really enjoyed it, so we were happy to take the opportunity to do it again this time accompanied by my sister. So happy to find that the tour was every bit as enjoyable as we remembered. Having Nazim as our tour guide made everything even more enjoyable. He was considerate and helpful, he was able to tailor our visits to suit all of us and we never felt rushed. A great way to see a lot in one day.

The small group excursion... - The small group excursion with Nazim was both entertaining and informative. He thoughtfully arranged places and times to suit our particular group. We had done this particular excursion previously and enjoyed it, but this time it was even better.

Fantastic tour with Nazim, cannot recommend enough! - We took a private tour of Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary, and other surrounding places with Nazim. It was the BEST decision we made, we had a truly wonderful time! Nazim is fantastic, cannot recommend him enough. Tour was well organized and thorough. Especially the Ephesus tour, Nazim is up to date on all of the latest archaeologic finds. The lunch stop was also wonderful - great food, great cause teaching uneducated women weaving skills. We're able to see weaving demonstration and silk process. Cannot recommend this enough!

Fun tour with a gem of a guide - The tour of Ephesus was great despite there being a million other visitors from the cruise ships that day. The guide Nizam Aziz was the best part of the tour. He spoke perfect English, was very informative and entertained us with his very funny jokes all along tje way. He was the reason why the group socialised well during the tour.
The negatives was that the visit to Sirince was hardly a visit with no time to view it because the commercial stops took too long.

Great tour guide…. But plz no shopping! - Our tour guide was really exceptional—personable, knowledgeable, charming. It respected the notion of a small tour (six ppl that day) as opposed to the many tour groups from cruise ships that also visit. My reason for giving four stars is that we spent a lot of time visiting shops—three hours in three shops total which was exhausting. That seems to be the way of things in Turkiye but nonetheless a thorn in my side.
