Great Guide and Content - The ruins of Ephesus are a must see!! The house of the Virgin Mary was also quite compelling. Our tour guide, Tuba, was fantastic. She was both knowledgeable and engaging. She even helped us buy a Turkish rug! Got back to the ship in plenty of time. Great tour for a great price. We skipped lunch to have more time to see the sites and they adjusted the price accordingly. I highly recommend Travel Showtime and this tour. Tolga responds to questions on WhatsApp in a timely manner. We paid in cash at the tour since our advanced credit card payment to a company in Turkey had issues going through. That worked out fine.

Amazing tour with a wealth of knowledge in luxury accommodations! - Excellent tour and guide! Luxury accommodations! Hanry was amazing! We booked this thinking it was a small group tour and it turned out to be a very private(just us) tour. Hanry, our guide was amazing and offered loads of knowledge on the sites as well as additional information regarding Turkeys history. I highly recommend him and the tour!

Wow!! Take the tour!! You won’t regret it! - Wow!!! This tour was INCREDIBLE!!! Begum was our tour guide and she was perfect. She was so well educated about Ephesus and Turkey in general! She was kind, she was so articulate and engaging. She took us to a lovely restaurant for dinner, and we also got to learn how the Turkish rugs are made. I even got to tie a few knots into the rug myself. My husband and I hit the jackpot with Begum!! We feel like we met a dear friend. If we ever come back to Turkey, we would definitely want to connect with her again. She is amazing and we highly recommend this tour! Thank you Begum!!

A must see - Our guide Tolga was excellent but too many shopping stops. Very high pressure. Actually felt trapped at carpet store.

Nice tour but lacks the Biblical perspective - The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. They met us directly at the port making it very convenient. The only thing keeping this from five stars was the lack of much biblical information. Given that was the title of the tour, we expected a little bit more context in that area.
