Very good - We went on a very nice journey with Umut, traveling from Ephesus, the archeological museum, the old Aphrodite temple and a very cute village. He was very nice and detailed about his explanations and knew a lot about the history. He was very kind to show us a local restaurant and a farmers market and took us around to show it to us even if it wasnt in the program, witch we really appreciated. Both Umut and the driver made sure to cater the program to our interests, witch we usually dont get in other tours like this. Very good experience!!

Guided Tour with Umut - I was guided by Umut for the walking tour and he has definitely gone above and beyond in introducing the place. He gave a clear historical context and illustrated clearly the significance of the sites. The tour was clear and engaging and I would recommend finding the group for future tour.

Wonderful Ephesus Visit - We had an outstanding tour of Ephesus today. Umut did an amazing job- he was knowledgeable, articulate, and paced the tour extremely well. We were able to cover a lot of ground in a short time, which is exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Ertunga’s service, and Umut as a guide, to anyone who wishes to visit this very special area.

Ephesus with an expert! - Volkan is an expert on his region, world religions and the site of Ephesus. He brought the historical timeline to life, while adding in just enough metaphor and humor to keep it engaging. He was kind enough to accompany me to lunch later and we became friends. I would highly recommend this tour. Without a guide, the site wouldn’t have been as memorable and special.

Enriching - It was a very enriching experience. It's amazing just how much history Ephesus has. We were very lucky to be the only ones with our guide.

Good value Ephesus tour :) - Our guide, Mutlu, was brilliant, and arrangements for the tour worked well. He messaged us the day before to introduce himself and confirm the time and location for meeting. His explanations of the overview and history of the Ephesus site were clear, and the details were good. He answered all our questions really well, all in good English. He was a really considerate host, particularly as my husband walks pretty slowly, and found us plenty of places to sit down whilst stopping at each point of interest. The time absolutely flew by! Tip: try to book for the 5.00pm slot (the last one of the day) if possible, as the temperature is cooler and a lot of the site is in shadow by then. Fewer people around at that time, too! Highly recommended - good value for money.

Walking Tour of Ephesus - Great experience with Volkan on the walking tour of Ephesus. We visited the historical site as part of a cruise around Greece, and this walking tour was the best out of all the sites we had seen! Volkan is extremely knowledgeable, and shared the layers of history and wider influences of Ephesus. We cannot recommend highly enough and have told all of our friends and family to visit!

Great way to experience Ephesus - Volkan was our guide on the Efes walking tour and made our visit truly wonderful. We ended up getting in a little late, but he was fortunately quite accommodating which we had greatly appreciated. The information we had been given along the way made the ancient city come alive and was enriched with all the details we would have not appreciated otherwise. Would highly recommend!

Knowledgeable, Patient Guide - Volkan was an extremely knowledgeable Tour Guide who was also very patient when we arrive late due to car trouble. We enjoyed seeing Efes with him and recommend him to others!

It was a pleasant... - It was a pleasant experience - the guide was very knowledgeable and trying to make the tour entertaining. We started the tour at 8.00 am and finished at 10.00 am, there were many people but it was not too crowded. Might be worth to come a bit in advance to skip the line and buy entrance tickets. Definitely recommend to visit Ephesus as it helps you to travel across centuries;)
