We had a great time on this tour. Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary are incredible and our guide (Erman) was humorous and very knowledgeable about these sites. He also shared a lot of insights about Turkey. He made the trip awesome!

Overall a good trip. Erman our guide was very knowledgeable and well spoken. Clearly knew his history and answered all our questions. Our tour of Ephesus was great as was the visit to the House of Mary……Just be aware that you be making two different shopping stops that are not mentioned in the details. The pottery workshop and store were good but the leather fashion show was not what I came to Ephesus to visit. You will not be visiting the St John’s Basilica or the Temple of Artemis it will just be a drive by. I think that if doing this trip be clear at the beginning you want to stop and visit the other locations with no shopping.

Hi Mary,
Thank you for the comment at first. Mostly, our guides trying to arrange optimal schedule for the tour. We stop at the shops for a rest and presentation but we never force our guests to buy anything. However, thank you for this comment, we will bear in our mind. Lastly, we are happy that, you liked the service of Erman.
Gezenthi Travel Team.

Tour came as advertised. Nazim is a fantastic guide. We had excellent discussions about Turkey and it's evolution to today.
The bus is first class. Meal was great. Plenty of breaks along the way. Good mix of personal time and guided touring.
Gezenthi Travel is a safe bet. They are extremely responsive.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
It’s a pleasure to view this comment and five-star. Thank you very much for your feedback on our Ephesus Tour Philippe.

We want to provide a service to you on your other visits to Turkey.
Kind Regards, Gezenthi Travel Team.

We loved it! Our guide Aysegul is a professional archeologist and a historian. Aysegul was extremely knowledgable not only about Ephesus, but about the whole Anatolia region and the antique world. We highly recommend visiting the terrace houses in Ephesus and the local museum (see the bust of Marcus Aurelius!).
Thanks again, we hope to come back soon!
Response from Host, Oct 2020
As Gezenthi Travel Agency we are very pleased to have you both visiting Pamukkale, Hierapolis, Ephesus and Virgin Mary's House. We hope to meet again anywhere in Turkey to explore new things.

Nuestro guía Cenk fue muy amable y nos contó muchas cosas. Son grupos reducidos. Bueno, nosotros íbamos los dos solos con el guía.
La minibus es muy cómoda. Efeso desde luego hay que verlo y con guía lo entiendes todo mejor.

Viajamos con Cenk y su conductor. Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Nos alegró volver a estar con él el siguiente dia en Pamukkale. Repetiría sin duda con el como guia.
Nos dio tiempo para nosotros, nos contó todo absolutamente sobre la historia, el transporte fue increiblemente comodo y ademas es majisimo.
