Ephesus in a day - What a wonderful introduction to Ephesus, the Mother Mary house, and St John Basilica! Nage was the best tour guide, providing expert explanations and guidance at various stops throughout the day. We especially enjoyed the Turkish mezze lunch and learning about woven Turkish rugs. An excellent way to experience Ephesus from Izmir!

Great day in Ephesus. - Flew from Istanbul to Izmir for a day in Ephesus. Nagi was waiting for when we got there. Called the driver to come around in a brand new Mercedes Sprinter. In the drive Nagi gave us some history on the region. First stop May’s house. Then Ephesus. All o can say is OMG. Agin Nagi was very informative and, most importantly, patient. I like to take a lot of photos and therefore slow our group down, but she was very understanding. Next stop was lunch at the carpet school. The lunch was really quite good and the setting was lovely. A glass in gazebo area that had a tremendous breeze. Next to the carpet school will learn the history of Turkish carpet making and watched while they worked on a rug. Most interesting were the silicone and how they get the silk thread from the cocoon. We went to St. John’s Basilica and saw the tomb of St. John the evangelist. Not much there except the tomb itself. Lastly, quick stop at the leather store, which had impressive lambskin jacket, and then last, but not least the ceramic store where we watched a pottery demonstration. Negi was helpful informative and patient throughout the day. We were picked up at the airport at approximately 10 AM and return to the airport at approximately 6 PM. I highly recommend this tour and particularly Nagy and the Boss lransport services.

Magical Experience with a Lovely Guide - We had a fantastic time with Tas, he's not only a very informative and well-rounded guide, but a genuinely sweet and kind person as well. I grew up going to Ephesus and wanted to take a group of friends for their first visit to Turkey, and Tas was a better guide than I could ever have imagined. He made the trip even more magical and was very accommodating to the needs and time constraints of our group. Ephesus is magical, and the entire trip was the culmination of a dream of mine to share it's history with my friends. Anyone reading this should seriously consider booking this tour, and request Tas specifically, you won't regret it!
