Our guide was outstanding. He had an amazing depth of knowledge. I have some mobility problems and he made the tour so much easier for for me. When my family members were visiting the Terrace Houses, he made sure I had a good place to wait for them & rest. The included lunch was such a nice experience.

Visiting House of Mary was a great experience. Our tour guide Aleyna was excellent, knowledgeable and very pleasant. She was waiting for us off the ship and on time. The vehicle was super clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour was fantastic.Shame on me for not remembering our guides name.Because he was incredible from minute one to the last minute.Extremly intelligent and informative and one hell of a nice man.We were on a 28 day cruise and this tour was our most memorable.Thanks to our terrific guide and driver.

Amazing experience. Wonderful staff took care of us and let us move along at our own time frame. Never felt rushed or worried about making it back in time. House of Mary was a great experience. Ephesus is unreal!
Not a fan of the rug sales pitch, but didn’t feel pressured into buying one either. You’re going to get that no matter what tour you end up on.

Gurki Métis at the port for our private tour. We spent our drive to The Virgin Mary’s House learning all about Turkey. Amazing history lesson. Seeing this site was calming and peaceful. If you have a special small bottle at home bring it to take the water home. We had time to explore and light a candle. We then went down to Ephesus. One of the best ruins you will see. Gurki had lots to tell of us including some fun facts. We also got to see the Terrace Houses The preservation was unbelievable. Gurki was great at taking photos for us. After we went to lunch. Great experience food was delicious. Was fun to learn about Gurki’s life and family. He is well travelled and super intelligent. We then learned about the traditional rug making with a chance to buy if you wanted. Watching how they got silk was so skilled. We will be back to Turkey. This tour wanted to make us see more

We had a wonderful tour with Naheda(?) sorry if that is incorrect spelling, she greeted us as we left the cruise terminal….. she was wonderfully knowledgeable and interesting. She took care of everything, it was seamless and easy! Many thanks from your grateful Kiwi visitors.

Excellent tour - didn’t realize we would have both a driver and a guide! Everything went smoothly from pick up at the port to traveling between sites. Our guide Yosef? Was very knowledgeable and led us expertly through the crowds always finding a quiet spot to educate us and show us items of interest. The included lunch was delicious! We saw the House of Mary, Ephesus including the Terrace houses and our guide was able to add on St John Basilica when I requested it. The van was very spacious for the two of us. A very good value and a great tour. They dropped us back at the port and we had plenty of time to shop as well before getting back on board.

Aleyna (our tour guide) made this tour wonderful. She was professional, knowledgeable, personable, flexible and funny. We saw and learned about the sites. We experienced their culture and food (excellent).

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Ceyla Ergon! She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her insight into the region. We were promptly picked ay the cruise port and met with our driver. ceyla had contacta at the different sites and planned our day based on the current line situation. We barely stood in any lines which meant we got to spend more time at the different sites! We had a lovely Turkish lunch and learned how pottery and rugs were made. No pressure to buy at all. Highly recommend this tour which was a great value!

The terrace houses, colosseum, and library of Ephesus, Mother Mary's house, all excellent. Our guide Olcay was fantastic, knowledgeable and a wonderful personality!
