We had the best tour guide that allowed us to stop at the best place and get some Turkish delights and some souvenirs. Best the very best thing was his knowledge of Ephesus and showing us even little things that we didn’t know.. it was amazing to see history unfold before our eyes.

We had an amazing tour with Ephesus Shuttle and our tour guide Mr. Gurkan.
They met us right outside of the port gates and we were quickly off to our tour. He explained so much about the history of the sites, you could tell he has such knowledge and passion for the history. We had a nice lunch stop and then back to the port. We had a nice big cool van for our family of 4. Will definitely use Ephesus Shuttle again next time we visit.

Pinar was an excellent guide. She allowed us choices of what we had an interest in. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of each location and gave us an appropriate amount of time to explore on our own.

From the time we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, we were taken care of very well by our tour guide. Babur or Bob as he wanted to be called was very knowledgable of the history of the places we visited in Ephesus. He spoke good English and was very patient in explaining the history behind those places we visited.

We can't recommend this company/tour highly enough. Met directly outside cruise terminal. Comfortable mini bus. Very friendly and professional accredited English speaking guide, who has degrees in biblical history.
Being a small group allows personalised interaction and tailored experience. We visited The House of Mary first before the large tour buses arrived, then went on to Ephesus where we were given detailed history and explanations. After that we went on to the giant single column ruin of The Temple of Artemis. We had some extra time and were offered the choice of a pottery demonstration or a leather workshop. There was no pressure or expectation to go to either, but we enjoyed the informative demonstration of the unique artisan pottery. We were accompanied the whole time and entrance fees were included.
