My wife and I booked this night tour of Ephesus, and it was arguably one of the highlights of our trip to Turkey. Exploring the ruins under the golden glow of the evening lights was absolutely magical. We felt like we had the entire ancient city to ourselves. Our guide, Emir, was wonderful. He knew so much about Ephesus and shared stories that brought its history to life. The Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre were magnificent at night, and the cool weather made wandering around even more enjoyable than during the day. The only slight downside was the short stop at a carpet shop.It felt like a bit of a sales pitch, but that didn't detract from how wonderful the rest of the tour was. I highly recommend this experience to couples looking for a romantic and unique experience.

As a solo traveler, I wasn't sure what to expect from a night tour, but this turned out to be one of the best decisions I made in Türkiye. Seeing Ephesus at night is a completely different experience. It's peaceful, atmospheric, and almost surreal. The lighting made the ruins, especially the Temple of Artemis, even more impressive. Our guide, Aysin, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history compelling without overwhelming us with dates and information. The small group size was perfect, and the air conditioned transportation from Izmir made the journey comfortable. If you're looking for a different way to see Ephesus, away from the crowds and heat of the day, this tour is definitely worth it. For history enthusiasts, this is a must see experience.

We took this Ephesus night tour with our family of four, and it was perfect for our two teenagers, who are often fussy about historical sites. Seeing the illuminated ruins at night kept them engaged. The Library of Celsus was like something out of a movie set. Our guide, Deniz, had a talent for making ancient history relatable, sharing entertaining legends amidst the facts. The air conditioned minibus was a lifesaver after visiting the sites.
