“Wow! Such an awesome experience. My family and I were taking a cruise and decided to book with Viator instead of the cruise line. First because it was less expensive and second, it was a private tour. Our tour guide Bugra, who now we consider family, was above and beyond expiations. He gave us such an amazing complete custom tour of each site. You could really feel the passion and pride he has for home. Each place we visited he strategically planned based on what our needs were to give us the most ultimate experience. That takes talent. Thank you so much Bugra for giving myself and family such amazing…”

“A fantastic tour with a wonderful guide who was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and kind. Our tour bus was comfortable with a great driver. I thoroughly recommend this tour and ask for Dorya, our wonderful guide.”

“The tour was exceptional and is a must see at least once in your lifetime to see the awe the of the monks built these monasteries on top of the mountain cliffs. Make sure you bring 5 euros cash per person for each monastery you visit and they do provide garments so you can cover yourself appropriately for free. At the most to pay to go into the monasteries two is the max after that they are al about the same. I would suggest paying for the optional lunch is was excellent and they do provide a rest prior for a snack and at the end for dinner which is…”

“We had a fantastic trip! Our driver was excellent and ready to meet us on time. Our guide Eren was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and he tailored the experience to suit the needs of our group. He was very caring, making sure we were comfortable and aware of any uneven terrain during the walk. We highly recommend this experience. Thank you!”

“Amazing just an amazing experience. Our guide mr. Umut was amazing as a guide, he was informative, calm, funny, patient and his communication was always on point. We talked a lot and got a good relationship. I would recommend this experience to anyone who likes history to experience this amazing place. Bring water, sunglasses and a hat.”

“Olzem was an amazing guide. We had her all to ourselves and really feel like we got the best of Ephesus tour! We had a great Air conditioned bus all to ourselves. We saw all the sites and learned and saw so much more than we were expecting. We were offered the opportunity to see how Turkish rugs are made. We did go see them and it was fascinating to learn the history. It was low pressure from a sales perspective. This was optional so if you aren’t interested in purchasing rugs, maybe skip it.”

“An Unforgettable Journey to Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary with Our Wonderful Young Guide I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable excursion to the House of the Virgin Mary and Ephesus with my husband, and I cannot recommend this experience enough! Despite being just the two of us along with our lovely young guide and the driver, the tour felt incredibly personal and enriching. It's worth noting that entrance fees are paid separately, but every bit is worth the incredible experience! The organization of the tour was seamless, with our guide and the driver managing the entire excursion from start to finish. They made…”

“100% recommended! Transportation was excellent, with a luxury minibus. Our guide, Metin, was an experienced and fun guide who explained all the sights clearly and comprehensively. After the tour, you'll receive a fine lunch (drinks not included), followed by a tour of a ceramics, carpet, and leather goods factory. Despite the relaxed atmosphere and explanation of the manufacturing process, this felt like a mandatory sales demonstration, and for me, it wasn't necessary. The price-quality ratio of this tour is excellent for what you ultimately get.”

“We really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide made sure that we had a great experience at each stop. He had a lot of information about Ephesus and made sure that we had a great time there. He also made sure that we were comfortable at lunch and had a table in the shade which we appreciated since it was a warm day.”

“This private tour was wonderful from start to finish. Tour guide waiting out front upon our exit from our cruise ship. Comfortable luxury van supplied with complimentary water, soda and beer. Our guide was articulate and thoroughly knowledgeable regarding the history of Turkey, Mary's House and Ephesus. We could visualize the way people lived as we explored the amazing ruins and restoration of this ancient city. The highlight for me was the Terrace Houses which continues to be under restoration and was an extraordinary display of ancient engineering, cultural sophistication and art. Lunch was delightful. Served in a beautiful exterior garden with excellent traditional Turkish cuisine. We did...”

“The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. She was pleasant and took good care of us. Would highly recommend.”

“Great tour with just the right amount of time. Only six in our group and the tour guide I think her make was Inaur was very knowledgeable about all the sites. Totally recommend this tour, we were able to see a lot plus still have plenty of time in port to shop, eat, and more shopping!!”

“This tour was excellent and well worth the time and money. Our tour guide, Emre, was knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. It was very busy the day we went and it was quite convenient that Emre was able to get all our entrance passes in the tour guide lines. He also brought us to a wonderful out doors resaurant for lunch.”

“We enjoyed the excursion in Ephesus also thanks to the guidance, knowledge and explanations of our Mr Selcuk.”

“The tour company, and our guide, Alex get our highest marks. Probably the highlight of our entire cruise. So professional, yet very personal guide, who was very knowledgeable about Ephesus.”
