Traveller reviews
Very interesting Mehmet gave us a lot information on the places we visited but also in general on the country
We had a good time, can easily recommend. Small bus, only 11 people.
Perfect sized tour of the ancient city of Ephesus, well worth the flight from Istanbul to Izmir and onto Ephesus. A visit to the House where the Virgin Mary lived out her last days, and then a great tour of Ephesus, a thriving city back in ancient times. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Ancient wonders is no longer there but what remains gives you a scale of the glory in ancient times. Our guide was great and knowledgeable, allowing stops to make sure no one was too exhausted given the heat. Overall excellent tour!
We went with a small group day trip from Izmir to Ephesus and house of Virgin Mary. The whole trip was very well organised starting from pick up from our hotel right on time. Nijam , our guide was friendly, knowledgable and made our whole trip very enjoyable. We got enough time to visit every place and he described nicely about the history. The lunch was included and was very good.It was good value for money. I will surely recommend this trip to see the world heritage site at Ephesus.
Excellent ruin site. Our guide was engaging and fun and the pace was good gving us enough time on our own after filling us with knowledge plus good weather and no crowds.
Very well organised tour! Hit all the important sites of Ephesus. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a very nice person
We had a last second idea to visit Ephesus and contacted the company a day before and they were more than happy to oblige. They were very responsive and paired us with Gul as our guide and she was phenomenal. She took care and attention to each detail and answered every question we had. She was a great ambassador to the country of Turkey and the Ephesus tour. I would highly recommend touring with her and with this company.
Highly recommend this tour. The sites were amazing. Especially when learning about the history and religious significance. I have been on plenty of tours around the world and Nizam is absolutely one of the best guides! He was engaging, funny, informative and made the group feel like one! Definitely ask for Nizam - a remarkable human.
