Kayra is undoubtedly one of the best guides I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her sense of humor and deep knowledge made the tour truly unforgettable. She was well organized, proactive, and easy to communicate with. She ensured we had a comfortable and enriching experience while learning about the region's history. Kayra protected us from the intense heat as much as possible and was always happy to provide additional information about Ephesus. Her genuine concern for our well being was evident throughout the tour. I would definitely choose her again for future trips. She is an exceptional professional, far beyond any other guide I've encountered on my trip. Skilled guides like Kayra truly deserve recognition, and I'm grateful for everything she does. I wish her continued success, as she certainly deserves it.

We had a wonderful trip. Our guide was excellent. He arrived 30 minutes early and was well prepared and waiting for us. He asked us what we most wanted to see, shared his thoughts on the most popular sites, and then drove us to Ephesus. When we arrived, he offered us tea, made us sit down, and explained the history of Ephesus and its excavations. He then drove us around the site, stopping along the way to point out interesting details and answer our questions. He also made sure we had plenty of time to take photos and explore on our own. He even took some wonderful photos of us against the beautiful backdrop. One of the highlights was his suggestion that we visit the large, ancient Church of the Virgin Mary, just off the main road. It was incredibly peaceful, with no other tourists around. Later, as we left Ephesus, he showed us other highlights, such as the stadium. At the Temple of Artemis, he gave us a detailed history and showed us some pictures to help us visualize what it once looked like. I really enjoyed chatting with him throughout the day.

We had a wonderful experience with Meral. We arrived early from our cruise ship, and Meral was already there waiting for us, allowing us to begin the tour ahead of schedule. Not only was she friendly, she was also extremely knowledgeable about Turkey. Her expertise in the area and understanding of other tour groups' schedules allowed her to adjust our itinerary on the fly to help us avoid the crowds. Meral was incredibly helpful during our Ephesus tour. The transfer fee was quite reasonable. We had originally planned to take a local bus, but we are so glad we opted for this transfer and added museum tickets. It was absolutely worth it, and we enjoyed being away from the crowds. A huge thank you to Meral for creating such an unforgettable experience.

Oğuz was the best guide we've had in years. His depth of knowledge was impressive, and he had a real talent for distilling complex information into simple, memorable truths. Since we spoke English, we had no trouble understanding him. He was also charismatic, making the tour not only informative but also enjoyable to listen to. Since it was just the two of us, we were taken to a local restaurant that served truly delicious traditional food. If I ever return, I would definitely ask Oğuz to take us to Ephesus again.

Helpful? Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Ephesus and were very pleased with our tour guide and the transportation provided. Overall, it was a great experience. However, there was a significant sales pitch during the tour. What we thought was a visit to a local restaurant led to a lunch stop geared towards tourists and then a stop at a carpet shop. The shop appeared to be a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating women about carpet weaving, but it was more like a shop where women weave carpets and men sell them. Furthermore, the prices at this shop were significantly higher than other local markets we found for similar items. While I highly recommend the tour because it offers excellent value, I recommend avoiding the carpet and ceramics shop when planning your itinerary.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was hasty throughout the tour, taking us to commercial spots where he obviously received commission. Even though we told him these places weren't part of our preferred plan, he insisted on taking us there.

Helpful? Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed our first private tour, and it was a fantastic way to explore Ephesus. However, we felt the description could have been clearer, as we weren't entirely sure about what was included, and we were disappointed that the Terraced Houses were not part of the tour. On a positive note, the experience at the end of the Ephesus visit was excellent, and we were really happy that it was included. It would have been great to have a bit more flexibility to personalize the trip. Both the guide and driver were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

Both the guide and the driver were very friendly. However, it would have been better if we hadn't been taken to a carpet shop on the way back from our sightseeing tour.
