Our private Ephesus tour with Seda as our guide was excellent. She gave us flexibility to see the sites we wanted to see. Seda is very knowledgeable and provided context and a lot of information that helped us better understand the history. The Ancient city of Ephesus including the terrace houses were a highlight of our trip.

The overall experience was great!

Everything was on time, and very smooth. No delays, no hassle with payments.

Our guide provided extensive information for Ephesus and home of Virgin Mary, and asked every question we had! We had plenty of time to explore everything and take photos, without a rush.

Driver was very professional and friendly!

Thanks to Olga and Mehmet for the day!

We were picked up on time by Memo our guide for the day. A more engaging and helpful guide you could not wish for. The care he took of us through out our trip was amazing, his professionalism and historical knowledge of Ephesus was invaluable in making the day memorable. I would highly recommend Memo as a guide.

After reading the tour reviews, we chose this tour and could not be more pleased. Our guide Mehmet exceeded our expectations. His knowledge was outstanding and he took the time to explain everything and provide expert insight into the sites we visited. Nothing was too much trouble. For lunch we went to a local family run eatery with fantastic fresh food for an unbelievable price. Our tour just has my husband and I so we couldn’t have asked for more personalised service. I did not know what to expect but this was beyond fantastic and worth every euro. I cannot recommend Mehmet highly enough! If I could give ten stars I would!!

Excellent tour guide 'Gufte' she spoke English really well and we never felt rushed. We took a tour round Ephesus and then onto a Turkush Delight factory where you could sample everything, and we did lol.
We also got a reduction when we made a purchase.
We then went to a carpet warehouse and watched the ladies weaving carpets some take a whole 12 months to make but they where absolutely stunning.
We felt a little pushed into buying one but we had to politely decline as they where far too expensive, but we'll worth the visit.

The tour of Santorini by George was over the top great - George knew every special place to visit and how to get the most out of our time spent together.

This was one of my favorite tours of our trip. We’ve been on a Mediterranean cruise and have visited some amazing places. The history of this place is so interesting and our guide, Nesli (I’m sure I’m spelling this wrong but pronounced like Nestle) did a great job bringing it to life. She was so warm and friendly and we really felt like we were being shown around by a friend. Highly recommend taking this tour with her!
