Excellent at your own pace tour! - Great tour guide (Ibriham) and driver (Erol). Had a very informed tour of Ephesus and a local town. The tour was also at my own pace which was really nice compared to a scripted large group tour. See what you want how you want! The flexibility of a private tour is well worth the price!

A comfortable and enjoyable tour of Ephesus and surrounding sights - We had an amazing time with Bugra. He was very attentive to our needs and extremely knowledgeable. The van was one of the most comfortable we have ever had. My family and I had a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend!

Would do it again tomorrow - The trip was seamless. From pickup at the hotel, seeing the sites, lunch and return to hotel. Frankly couldn’t have gone any better. Kemal was my guide and was extremely informative but also gave me time to reflect and enjoy at my own pace. Would book again. Truly an amazing set of sights with this tour. Oh and the driver was fantastic - drove safely and courteously and nice large vehicle with water on board

Great Experience! - We have done private tours before and they tend to be really good or barely average. Thankfully this tour was great. The guide was very knowledgeable about Ephesus , but also the other sites we added as Tuna and Sabo were very accommodating and willingly put in a long day to allow us to see everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour on very short notice! - This tour was perfect. Umut picked us up for our hotel in Izmir. We toured Ancient Ephesus all morning. Umut was very knowledgeable about the area and made a point to show us all the sights. While also allowing us time to explore. He was engaged and spoke very good English. Highly recommend him for a guide.
In the afternoon we went to lunch, the Ephesus museum, and a short tour of the temple of Artemus. Lunch was delicious. The museum tour was so helpful to understand how things must have looked in Ephesus. The temple tour definitely clarified the reason it was an ancient wonder of the world.
I would highly recommend any tour with Umut and the whole Felicity Travel team!!!!! I booked it 5 days before we arrived and they were so accommodating!

Amazing Tour - We had amazing time touring ancient Ephesus. They picked us up at our hotel and gave us an in depth tour of the city. Our guide, Umut, was so knowledgeable. He also had plenty of water to keep us hydrated. They took us to a restaurant to eat a smorgasbord of local Turkish food for lunch. We also opted for the Ephesus museum and Artemis Temple. So glad we did this!

Memorable day trip to Ephesus closed with a delightful lunch of authentic Turkish cuisine - Our trip to Ephesus and Selcuk was made all the more enjoyable because our guide, Umut Yilmaz of Turkey Private Tours was not only very knowledgeable and courteous, but he understood very clearly what we were looking for on our day trip out of Izmir to visit the amazing archeological site with its rich history that spanned millennia. Lunch at the family-owned restaurant Bilzim Ev has given us a real taste of authentic Turkish food, the owner and staff were very friendly and engaging, providing us with a delightful close of the trip.
