Traveller reviews
Alperen (Alpi) was fantastic! His energy and passion for history made the tour both fun and informative. The schedule was well-balanced — we saw everything without feeling rushed. The driver was great, the food was tasty, and his restaurant tips in Izmir were spot on. Highly recommended!
This trip to Ephesus was an excellent experience. The guide, Mr. Emran was very nice, a knowledgeable person. As per the plan, they picked up us from the Izmir airport and also dropped there well within the timelines.
Erman led the group around the city of Ephesus and it was a great experience. He was knowledgeable about the history and fluent in both English and Spanish, which is very surprising. The site was wonderful and the group has plenty of time to take pictures and take in the view. The tour is also quite flexible on where you want to stay and for how long. Overall, it was a great experience and really recommend for people who don't have transportation to commute from Izmir city to the site.
Do not go! You pay too much for bad historical site. Audio tour was broken, no money back. Pregnant wife was refused toilet. Staff is very unfriendly. Dangerous steps with no warming signs, saw many people fall and hurt themself.
Ephesus is a great place if you like to feel how the Roman lived their lives. The terrace house should be included in the ticket but you have to pay another 25 Euros on top of 40. The multimedia shows is so so for me. The tour is ok, I wish they give us more free time instead she put us in the multimedia show.
Erman is a wonderful guide. He is fluent in english and other languages. His historical knowledge of Izmir is impeccable. He is patient and lively. It was a wonderful trip.
On this tour, we stopped at a ceramics workshop/store, Ephesus, and for lunch. Esra, our guide, was friendly and patient with answering our many questions about the history of Ephesus. One suggestion I have is to give guests more time to wander freely around Ephesus. I felt a little rushed since we didn’t have any time to go off on our own after the historical explanations were finished.
Selim was an excellent guide. He was patient, adjusted to our pace, explained everything so beautifully. The car and the driver were excellent too.
