Very good Guided tour city of Ephesus. - The driver and guide very punctual. We were notified by WhatsApp half an hour before that they were already available and at the meeting point. Being Turkey we lost the data when getting off the cruise, but we had no problem meeting. Great guide and very nice. Very pleasant visit. The guide conveyed his knowledge in a very pleasant way. Highly recommended.

Fascinating tour with a knowledge guide - The vast knowledge of our guide was amazing , he even knew facts that interested a moody teenager!. We learned a lot about turkeys ancient history and we were often asked for.our opinion, or if we wanted to have time to look by ourselves ,he also kindly took photos. The driver was prompt and polite which wasn't gone unnoticed. Very enjoyable and interesting tour thank you !

See Ephesus easily and comfortably! - Our guide Onder did a great job! He met us on time, got us in a comfortable van and provided an interesting narrative of the history of the area using a map. Our driver did a great job too-very friendly and helpful. Once on site and after we purchased tickets, Onder again gave compelling information on the sights we were seeing at Ephesus, which is worth the effort to see. I had no idea about how well preserved this archeological treasure is! The way to see Ephesus is with a small group-the small van could maneuver to the entrance easily, requiring less walking just to get to the entrance. After we walked through the grounds and exit, there was the van again amongst a sea of buses-and out we drove! Once back in Kusadasi, I asked Onder to recommend a restaurant close to the cruise port. He not only recommended one, he walked us there, spoke to the staff about what time we needed leave, helped us order and departed! We had a great lunch sampling local fare with an amazing view and walked out on time to reboard our ship. I highly recommend Onder and this tour-well done Onder!

Awesome tour, great guide, highly recommended - Had a great time on the tour. Booked a small group tour but it turned out to be our group of four with a driver and separate tour guide. Our tour guide, Ismail, is it going for his PhD in tourism and was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Ephesus was a very interesting archaeological site (admission was not included but was very reasonable at the equivalent of about 10 euros each). Everything in Turkey was inexpensive, including this tour which we thought was a bargain compared to tours in other places. Had a very nice kebab lunch for not a lot. Carpet making demonstration was very interesting but of course ended with them trying to sell you carpets. They were not too pushy about it. Highly recommend this tour.

Learned a lot about Turkey history... - <p>Learned a lot about Turkey history AND culture. We were an hour late and our tour guide waited for us! Besides Ephesis we were taken to the usual tourist stops carpet shop, pottery factory, leather coat showroom but we received warm hospitality and no strong pressure to buy. Our guide and driver took care to watch out for us. The tour guide was super knowledgeable.</p>

We enjoyed this tour more than any... - <p>We enjoyed this tour more than any others. Our guide was so professional and was very informative. He was very considerate of our well-being as well. It was brutally hot, but he did his best to keep us comfortable. The rug tour was great as well in fact we did purchase one. However, the ensuing stops at the ceramic shop and the jewelry shops were a bit too much oversell for us.</p>

Wasn't what I expected - The communication prior to the visit was very fluid and cordial. The group was really small: a family of four and me. The guided tour of Ephesus was interesting and, although the guide very kindly provided explanations, information was lacking. Guides could be heard offering more complete information in English. Of all that was proposed for after the visit to the ruins, what I was most interested in was returning with time to walk around the port before the boat set sail and it was the only thing that could not be done. The leather goods factory is actually a great business with very high quality products and very high prices. There we went because there were many people to enter the House of the Virgin Mary at first but eventually we still had to wait to enter there. The other passengers also wanted to go to the tomb of St. John and pass through the temple of Artemis, so we returned to the port only in time to board the ship.
