We had an incredible tour of Ephesus. Our tour guide, Bugra was incredibly knowledgeable about the rich history and archaeology of Ephesus. His explanations were detailed yet engaging, blending historical facts with local legends and fascinating insights. He made sure everyone in our group felt included and comfortable, and he tailored the experience to match our interests and pace. His English is excellent, and he was always happy to answer questions and offer tips.

We were taking Mediterranean cruise with stop at Kusadasi, Turkey. Tour was well organized. We saw Ephesus Ancient City, Terrace Houses of Ephesus, Basilica of St. John and more and learned a lot about history, customs, traditions etc. I'd like to specifically mention our tour guide - Gonca Yucel. She's professional, well educated and is a pleasure to work with. She was very patient with us answering a lot of our questions and accommodating tour according to our needs (we have some mobility issues). Still we saw A LOT!!! Our Driver was also excellent so we felt that we were in good hands. Overall tour exceeded our expectations and we consider it as a money well spent. Please note that I'm not being paid for this and usually not doing a lot of reviews.

We had a tour with Fatima and it was absolutely amazing! We went to Ephesus and explored the whole of the old city and she recommended the VR experience for us at the end it was so much fun, we went to a beautiful farm to table restaurant and traditional weaving school and more and then got us back to our ship early!

We had a wonderful tour today with Fatima. Tour of Ephesus tour and Co-op restaurant where we had lunch were amazing. Loved the food at restaurant and Fatima was very knowledgeable and a lovely person. We were here in October 2025 on the Odyssey of the Seas. Back on ship in plenty of time.
