Azalea and Ragup ( hope Im spelling correctly) çok teşekkür ederim! We had a wonderful time seeing the sites in Kusadasi and Ephesus. Wish we got a photo with you before leaving. Thankyou for showing us so much of the Turkish culture and heritage we will remember our wonderful day whenever we look at our marvelous rug.

Our tour guide was Fatih and he was great. He curated a great day full of information and provided us a great appreciation of Turkey. Great stops on our tour and stayed with us the entire day. Highly recommended

Don’t even know where to begin. We were definitely not expecting to fall in love with Ephesus as we did. All thanks to our guide, a smart and beautiful woman of name Begum Hemmingway. She made us laugh and taught us the facts and stories behind absolutely everything. She also allowed us some time for adventure and discovery. The port is beautiful if you are with the right guide. Definitely bring a trench coat and cap if you’re visiting in October, barely any water but windy. Also, don’t miss the school where they teach girls and women to weave. They have great lunch for 15-20 euros. We bought several souvenirs at the small market at the end of the ancient town, 2 pashminas, a statue of Nike (winged victory of Samothrace), a Turkish tea set and a shot glass for 80 euros. The ruins of the houses of the 7 families at the ancient town is a must, DO NOT SKIP! Conclusión, contact Begum and she’ll make sure you have an amazing time in Turkey! All my love to her and Ephesus! Jacqueline BW

An incredible tour by the best guide, Mustafa! His knowledge of history, culture anthropology and botany was second to none! His personal connections with locals and ability to move us through crowds was awesome! Best day touring ever!

We loved our guide Irem from Ephesus port Tours. We had the absolute best guide for Ephesus, so passionate about the history of this magnificent site. She customised the tour to our likes/wishes.

Ahmet was a great tour guide. He took us to all the sites that we wanted to see in Ephesus. His knowledge was very extensive; his English was very good; and he was very attentive to our needs. Would recommend him highly.

Furkan was a great tour guide in Ephesus! We saw all the great sights and some hidden shops along the way. He was very knowledgeable and easily answered all our questions. Highly recommend Furkan!

Begum Hemmingway was the most amazing tour guide we could have asked for. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Ephesus and Kusadasi. She took us to eat amazing local food, incredible turkish carpet making, and an extensive tour of the ancient city of Ephesus. This was the best tour we have ever had whether it was in the Caribbean or in the Mediterranean and it was all thanks to Begum. Do not hesitate to book her as a guide.

We booked a private tour with Onboard for the Ephesus Port Tour. It was outstanding!!! Our tour guide, Murat, was great. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the history and culture of Ephesus and the surrounding areas. I would very highly recommend booking this tour and absolutely mention Murat as your tour guide. You will be very happy that you did!!!
