SPECTACULAR!
Bill_F, May 2024
If I could make it 10 stars I would! Great communication, great organization, and our guide Memo Was spectacular And a wealth of knowledge!! Had had a great personality, and was a lot of fun! Took us to a local restaurant for lunch, where we experienced delicious Turkish food, along with the wonderful guided tour through Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary! Sheriff, Our driver was always waiting for us, made sure the van was put in the shade when it all possible, and the van was super perfect as well! Would highly recommend requesting Memo & Sheriff !
Awesome place
Thomas_C, Nov 2023
The tour starts out with a road trip and stop at a rug factory for some excellent Turkish coffee, pastry, and a pitch to buy a rug or two. Next, we went to the House of Mary and then the ruins at Ephesus. The ruins at Ephesus are awesome and our guide extremely informative and personable. Highly recommend, even if you're not in the market for a rug.
Great day with Lori

Visiting the Ephesus library, Mary's House and the Church of Saint John. Our guide in Ephesus Erika was phenomenal. Lunch at weaving school was fabulous.
Best interpreter
Fernando_R, Oct 2022
Banu was wonderful! She is a very nice person, an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge of Ephesus and of Turkiye’s history. Her English is excellent and so is her accent. We highly recommend her as an excellent interpreter. Banu was by far the best interpreter we had while in Turkiye!
Fun day

Delightful private tour of Ephesus
Jennifer_G, Jan 2020
Our guide, Mehmet, and our driver picked my sister and I up at our hotel promptly as planned and was extremely friendly and knowledgable about Ephesus and the other area highlights. Mehmet really listened to what we were interested in seeing and customized our tour accordingly. After the tour we had a pleasant lunch of local foods at a small eatery that was located next to at a Turkish rug school which we also briefly toured.
Great tour in Ephesus

My family and I were very pleased with our private tour in Ephesus. Our tour guide was Dilek and she was very knowledgeable about the sites, always had a smile on her face and were happy to answer any questions. I highly recommend them.
