Overall, the tour was Ok. The additional stops at the ceramics workshop and the House of the Virgin Mary were not mentioned in the original itinerary, nor were we given the option to choose them. Our guide, Nur, was fine and gave us the freedom to explore on our own.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Ephesus. Our guide was very professional and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. They were also very patient with everyone on the tour. Lunch was a generous buffet with plenty of options to suit all tastes. If you need any information, Osman responds promptly via WhatsApp. It's also convenient that you can reserve online and pay once you're in Marmaris.

Fantastic tour with plenty of interesting sights to explore. Nur Çoban was an excellent host, providing clear and insightful explanations about the historical background. Overall, a really impressive and well-organized experience. I have given a 4 star because the food was not great and the A/C was not not cooling properly in the coach.

Beste, our guide for the day, was fantastic—extremely well-informed, personable, and easy to talk to. She had thorough knowledge not just of Ephesus but of the entire route, and she responded to every question confidently and clearly. It was an enjoyable and enriching outing, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone with an interest in history or archaeological sites. We also visited the House of the Virgin Mary, which was a truly moving and spiritual part of the experience. One suggestion: clarify with your booking provider exactly what is covered in the tour, as some entrance tickets may not be included. We also chose to leave the younger children back at the hotel under supervision, as the journey is quite long—roughly three hours each way—and the day itself can be quite full-on.

The Ephesus tour was fantastic, and everything ran smoothly. A big thanks to Eric for organizing the trip for us. The team really went the extra mile to ensure we had an amazing experience. However, on our way back, there was a fire near Marmaris that blocked the main road, forcing us to take a detour that added about four extra hours to our journey. The return trip ended up being around six hours or more, which left us very tired. We only had a brief 15-minute stop at a gas station for a bathroom break and to grab some snacks. Aside from this unexpected delay, the Ephesus tour itself was outstanding.
