From hotel pickup, to the transfer to IST airport and flight bookings, collection at Izmir airport, tour of Ephesus, mother Mary‘s house, St John‘s Basilica and of course the included lunch couldn’t have been planned, presented and executed better.
Curio Travel kept me posted of bookings and online check-in and all necessary trip info. Perfect!!! Good job!!!
Our local guide for the day was Fatma Devrim Çobanoglu. She spoke english very well and she provided so much information. The history of the area‘s we visited is so old and fascinating. Devrim really contributed to us having an incredible experience. It was also very hot during the day and Devrim continuously checked that we were okay and comfortable.
The history lessons were superb and very valued and appreciated.
Will definitely recommend Curio Travel - via Viator and Bookings.com. I booked through Bookings.com and these other companies ensured we had the best sightseeing experience!!!
Thanks Devrim, we’ll never forget the trip with you

Sel was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and kind. Ephesus was an amazing experience. Do not skip the terrace houses, they were incredible.

Very well organised for a day trip from Istanbul. We were picked up on time in a large comfortable vehicle. Our tour guide Mr Yavuz was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was worth the money and time spent.

Very well organized tour from start to finish. We had a funny and very knowledgeable Turkish guide. I think having a Turkish guide brings a unique perspective compared to someone who only recites historical facts. He added a very personal dimension to the history and how it impacts Turkish people and the world today. GREAT TOUR!

Our family was visiting Istanbul and decided at the last minute to book a day trip to Ephesus. It was a great decision! The entire trip was easy - transfers to and from our hotel to the airport in Istanbul, pick up and return to the airport on the Ephesus side, and flights were quick. The private tour in Ephesus was fascinating! Our tour guide was fluent in English and shared the amazing history of the area. The Roman ruins were very accessible. And while we probably could have done a day trip on our own - having everything set up for us - with travel, transfers, lunch, and a history lesson built in made it completely worth it. I would highly recommend the experience!

Was a wonderful experience and the guide was so informative. I think if you make it in two days its better to be less tiring.

This was a really long day, starting with a 5:15 AM hotel pick up , but once we arrived, our tour guide did a wonderful job telling us about the area as we drove towards Ephesus. He gave us lots of information about Ephesus and made sure we had a complete tour. The guide was from the local area, so he lived amidst the fascinating history. Our visit to Mary’s house and the St. John Basilica were equally filled with wonderful information. I asked lots of questions, which he was happy to answer. We went to a wonderful restaurant, opting to skip the lunch/rug sales, since we visited a rug maker in Istanbul. Every bit of the day-long trip went off like clockwork, and was totally worth the cost and early morning.

This day trip was a dream come true! My sister and I were quite excited about getting to walk around ancient Ephesus. Our guide, Mr Emre, was perfect! If I could have hand picked my guide, Mr Emre is who I would have picked. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating, interesting, nice, and easy to talk with. He was able and eager to answer all of our questions and was always willing to take our pictures. He knew the best places to stand to be away from the crowds and see the breathtaking buildings and statues.
From the beginning we felt like we were well taken care of. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Istanbul to be taken to the airport. At the airport in Izmir, Mr Emre greeted us and had a sign with my name on it. At that moment, the tour began. We had Mr Emre and his driver all to ourselves! My sister and I had the most wonderful and memorable day, and it was all because of this tour company and Mr Emre. Thank you!

Everything went smoothly. The hotel pick up was right on time, we had plenty of time to get to our flight and the flight went smoothly. We were greeted by our guide, Gurkan, at the Izmir airport and he provided tons of great information about Ephesus and the surrounding area. The visits to Ephesus, Mary’s house, and the ruins of St John’s Basillica were beyond my expectation! It was wonderful to see and Gurkan was so knowledgeable. I enjoyed everything about it.
