Small group tour (three couples) of Ephesus included the Terrace Houses. Our guide (Gürkan) was excellent! Very knowledgeable, very personable, very flexible. Presented a nice mix of ancient & medieval culture and history along with current events. Communication with company and organization for tour was of the highest standard.

This tour was wonderful. We were picked up at the port and we drove to the Virgin Mary’s house. Then we toured Ephesus, which was amazing. Unfortunately we only had 4 hours but what we saw was mind boggling. Our guide Gokce was so informative. Just wish we had more time. I highly recommend this tour and company.

We had a wonderful experience with Cem touring Ephesus, Terrace houses, Basilica of St. John and Artemis temple. We arrived off the ship early and both Cem and driver were waiting. We were impressed by Cems knowledge and presentation. He answered numerous questions and provided information we requested about Paul and John from a biblical perspective. He was interesting, sharing stories about the Ancient sites as well as modern day life and traditions in Turkey. The tour was just the right length of time . We never felt rushed or pressured at any point. As a fellow tourist I would highly recommend Cem as a guide! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Rhonda J

We booked a guide for Ephesus. Our guide, Fusun Ozsurucu and her driver, were a delight. They were friendly, accommodating, and most importantly very very knowledgeable regarding the history and culture of this region. Please make an attempt to visit ancient Ephesus if you are in this area. It is an amazing place. We spent several hours exploring Ephesus and then also went to the House of Mary which is an important pilgrimage site. The drive up to the house is spectacular. We also visited the remains of the Temple of Artemis and a facility to see how carpets are produced and enjoyed a lovely lunch. I highly recommend this guide. I can't say enough good things about our experience 10 out of 10 !

Wonderful tour by Jenc. Tour bus was very comfortable - new Mercedes van. Jenc was very understanding of our need to be back at the cruise port on time since we only had a 5 hour stop. The sites we saw were absolutely amazing. Jenc’s knowledge was in depth and thoughtful. He let us explore on our own and was available for any questions we had.

Selda was our tour guide and was wonderful. We enjoyed Epesus and House of Virgin Mary. We stopped at a local famiy pottery shop and enjoyed their beautiful work. Highly recommend Selda if you are in Kusadasi.

Our tour was fabulous! From start to finish our guide Fusun was awesome! She was so informative, friendly, approachable, extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Fusun was also very courteous and considerate with our family members with mobility considerations as well as comfort breaks. Highly recommend this tour and please request Fusin.
