Private tour for 2 person - We booked our private tour 2 days ahead. They picked us up at the hotel. Transport was nice and clean. The driver was ready and waiting for us all the time. Our guide Volkan was really passionate about the history and explained everything in detail. He also gave us some other interesting trip ideas. We customized our tour on the go with no problem. He took us to Ephesus, archeological museum and to the temple of Artemis which we decided to visit. He also offered us to visit local pottery shop. It was a nice and interesting family business. Lunch was at a small local business with simple but tasty food. Definitely recommend.

Very worthwhile tour - Tugrul Sezgin was a wonderful guide. He brought Ephesus to life. The ruins were stunning, as was Mary's house and the Basilica of St. John. He was incredibly sensitive to our needs as older tourists. He showed us great shopping spots and shared a lovely lunch with us. He was delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed his guidance and his love of Turkey. We were very grateful for his help.

Relive the history! - This is a great company, and owner/guide Volkan is the best tour guide I have ever seen. While giving information about places we visited, he made us feel like we were there for thousands of years ago!
Great experience, highly recommended it!

Great tours around Ephesus/Kusadasi - Volkan’s passion for history was amazing—he clearly loved sharing insights on Turkish and overall Mediterranean history with us. He gave us great recommendations of places to go and things to see and gave us some great restaurant recommendations! A friendly, helpful, insightful guide you’ll enjoy traveling with. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour - Vulcan was our fantastic tour guide. We had an entire day of private touring with him and had the best experience. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand.
We had plenty of time to see all the major attractions along with a great lunch stop. He even took great photos for us at major stops. The best tour we have taken.
Would highly recommend this tour.

Perfectly Guided Tour - Our tour of Ephesus and Sirince was perfectly planned and thoughtfully organized. We avoided all of the lines while seeing everything that we wanted to see. We were very thankful to have done the tour with our guide as she was very knowledgeable about the history but also the area, so she made sure we avoided most of the heat, crowds, and other time wasters. Definitely the best tour we had in Turkey.

Euphesus with Tuba - We were so pleasantly surprised and pleased with the entire Viator Guided Tour experience with Tuba! A lovely like new Mercedes van and driver and the most enthusiastic knowledgeable guide we could have enjoyed! Her command of English and other languages inc Japanese
proves her professional commitment to sharing the significant importance of Euphesus and the area…and she is most fun! Thank you Tuba for bringing the history to life!

Worth the Trip! - She was very knowledgeable about the history of the place. She helped us navigate big crowds and busy site. She also brought us to a very good tavern with really good food at affordable price.
