Nice Ephesus tour

Wonderful tour, I enjoyed it. Alperen was the perfect guide; he gave us a lot of historical and fun stuff about the building and inhabitants. He is also eloquent and such an entertainer. Thanks a lot. Of sightseeing, I personally think it is a must-do thing when visiting this part of Turkey.

Don't Be Dumb, Do This Tour

"Coach tour" -- a potentially terrifying phrase that conjures images of a busted A/C, corny tour guide jokes, and seats with more than one chewing gum stain for some reason. But -- not this coach tour. This coach tour was spectacular. The sights were truly awe-inspiring. The history was fascinating. The sprinter van was nice. But what really made this tour special was our guide, Alpy. He's knowledgeable, personable, funny, and a bunch of other adjectives that are all positive. Truly couldn't recommend this tour more! If you're here, just sign up already. You won't regret it.

Alpy and his expertise

Extremely satisfying. Alpren (Alpy) our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and ever so smiling. Managed the trip efficiently as few people on our trip wanted to do House of Virgin Mary at the last minute. We were able to complete on time and enjoyed the overall experience. Will recommend

Ephesus tour.

Alpe is a superb guide. His knowledge and expertise in narrating historical and current facts was remarkable. His high energy made this a fun tour. He also went out of his way to take us to places which my family and friends wanted to go that I was supposed to book. I would highly recommend Alperen.

An amazing tour of Ephesus (and other places)with the best guide!

I've been on many tours in many countries and I can safely say this was the best I've been on in no small part due to our tour guide Alperen. His knowledge was incredible and what's more his enthusiasm and love for the history and culture of this part of Türkiye was infectious! Ephesus is amazing and Alpy really brought it to life as our guide. He was also great for answering all our questions! It was an absolutely fabulous day with lots of history, humour, great story telling and a fine meal for lunch. I really couldn't recommend this tour highly enough and if you are on the fence about booking it, please read this and just do it! Special mention also to our wonderful driver Aykut who kept us safe and got us everywhere we needed to go in good time.
