Our guide was exactly where she said she would be to meet us. Very knowledgeable. Able to answer all of our questions and add interesting dates and facts. We toured the Mary Mother house and Ephesus. She went out of her way to be sure I was ok ( injured my knee) and it was extremely hot.
Would highly recommend this tour. Unfortunately I didn’t get her name.

We visited numerous historic sites in one action-packed tour. Banu, our guide, was very informative, friendly, and considerate in making sure all of our expectations were fulfilled and questions answered. I would highly recommend going with this tour, especially with Banu.

My wife and I had an amazing time with Burak as he explained the history as well as some of the fun facts in Ephesus. He was a wealth of knowledge and kept the whole day interesting.

Everything from pickup, to entry of sights, to lunch, and drop off was easy and smooth.

We would definitely recommend him to anyone who wanted to go.

An amazing tour with a great guide! Kaya took us through the home of Mother Mary, the city of Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis, St. John’s Basilica, and the Ephesus museum. He was a fantastic historian and gave us great context for each of the sites. The tour provided water and umbrellas for the sun! Kaya also took us to a great lunch restaurant with home style Turkish meals. As a bonus he was an excellent photographer and sent us >80 of the photos that he took of my wife and I along the way. Would highly recommend!

My grandfather (84) and myself (23) got a private tour with Hanry. They picked us up from our hotel and Hanry spoke with us about the history of Izmir and Ephesus on the way there to set the stage for the rest of the tour. We saw Virgin Mary’s house first, followed by the Ephesus Ruins, and then the Temple of Artemis. What we really appreciated about Hanry’s tour was that it was totally about us and what we would like to see. He was very kind and also extremely enthusiastic about Turkish Culture. We had a great lunch with traditional Turkish food followed by touring a carpet weaving school (where I un-regrettably purchased the nicest and most expensive 😅 rug I’ve ever seen). Hanry also never let us get caught up in street vendors up-scaling prices and always let us know if something was unique to Turkey and/or is a good deal. The trip concluded with visiting the Church ruins and mosque (both of which were related to the Temple of Artemis in a fascinating way). We learned a ton and would recommend the tour to any of our friends if they were to find themselves in Izmir. Finally, Hanry helped us set up transportation to our next destination for the following morning. It was very nice to have someone help with this as we do not know the language or understand the transportation around here. Next stop Greece!

Great visit of Ephesus with Guide Zeneb who worked hard to satisfy our love of archeology. She is very knowledgeable and took time to take us through Ephesus' most remote places.

We enjoyed a fine day with guide Hakan and a driver. Pickup/dropoff in Izmir worked well. Guide gave us "free time" at all the sites so we could look around at our leisure. We especially enjoyed the lack of crowds during these virus days.

Everything from the moment we were picked up at the airport to the moment we were dropped to our hotel, was nothing short of great.

Volha our guide and The Captain (driver) were always dedicated to make our experience very pleasant.

She was very informed and took the time and dedication to guide us through every place we visited.

we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, and really enjoyed this tour.

Our tour guide - Mehmet and personal driver Chef was amazing. Not only was Mehmet very knowledgeable, he was also very patient with my family (esp my dad) who asked a million questions repeatedly about the history of the sites we were visiting!
