Amazing Biblical Tour of Ephesus

David_D, May 2024

Emre was our guide, and he was outstanding. His knowledge of Biblical, Greek, Roman and Ottoman history was extraordinary. The history of Mary’s house, evolution of the city of Ephesus, life of apostles John and Paul was covered in great detail. A bonus stop was at a forth generation UNESCO family Stone Pottery Facility. Emre recommended an authentic Turkish restaurant for lunch and our group of six thoroughly enjoyed it. First class tour using comfortable, air conditioned van that lasted six hours and seemed like half of that. From the moment we left the ship, we were engaged in a very informative journey. Emre was willing to spend more time if we so desired. Highest recommendation!!!

Best Excursion Tour Anywhere!

John_K, Apr 2024

Best excursion ever! Emre brought Ephesus to life with not only history but also through the Bible and Christian faith. This small group tour with Emre's knowledge and guidance provided our group with the memorable experience of our trip. Thanks for making this day so special!

Wonderful experience with Tez and Ferit.

Mauricio_R, Apr 2024

Tez our tour guide and Ferit our driver were very professional, kind, well manners. Tez was very passionate when talking about the history of his city. We learned a lot with Tez. Thank you guys.

A comprehensive tour

Pauline_M, Apr 2024

Our Tour guide EMRE gave us a very comprehensive summary, considering the wide history of Ephesus. The research done was obvious. He was well acquainted with the facts. He was patient and questions were satisfactorily answered. The sites visited made his guiding compelling. There was never a dull moment. Would definitely recommend him highly. We were safely and comfortably transported by our driver.

Ozzie of Ephesus was incredible!

Joshua_S, Mar 2024

Ozzie was the greatest tour guide out of our 5 Viator excursions on this cruise. We also had two boat excursions which were nice but nowhere as great as Viator. Ozzie was extremely knowledgeable, able to convey the history and modern culture contrasts in stunning clarity. Our group of five (three adult children and 2 parents) eagerly look forward to getting back to Turkey and Greece and using Viator exclusively. The security, comfort and care of Ozzie will be the standard we use for your guides from now on. Amazing personality as well.

NIse to have personal attention

Robert_C, Oct 2023

We very much enjoyed the personal attention. Ephesus was fascinating. Tourguide did a great job. Would highly recommend this over a cruise ship based tour with dozens of other people. Thanks!
