We had an amazing experience with our guide Ngai. A wonderful 1/2 day (4-5 hrs) tour in Selcuk. Our guide Ngai is amazing, everything went smoothly from pick up (at port) to finish (back to port). Ngai is so knowledgeable with the historical information of the Ephesus, which we enjoyed so much. The digital museum was free and totally worth to see it. Lunch was delicious, enough food for us +50 ladies. We are happy with both our driver and our guide.

We had a wonderful private tour with Nagi and Boss during our day in port. We visited Ephesus - including my favorite part, the Terrace Houses - and the new Experience Museum. We also enjoyed lunch and a demonstration of traditional carpet weaving, then continued on to the village of Sirince before returning to our ship. I had fractured my foot a few weeks before the trip, and Nagi was incredibly accommodating, setting a perfect rhythm of walking, resting, and sharing information. She was very knowledgeable and offered thoughtful answers to all our questions. I was initially indifferent about the lunch, but it ended up being memorable with simple, fresh ingredients prepared beautifully. In Sirince, we finished the day with traditional Turkish coffee cooked in hot sand. All in all, we would highly recommend this tour.

We had a lovely private tour with Tas! His 25 years of experience showed through his knowledge, professionalism and friendliness. We learnt so much about the history and culture, and he was able to answer all our questions. Highly recommend him!

Our tour with Viator was great!! We had a wonderful guide Achmed!! He was one of the best tour guides we experienced over our travels!! His knowledge and insight to Ephesus was terrific!! He took all of us to a great local restaurant for lunch that featured everything from Turkey!! This tour is highly recommended and a must while in Ephesus!! Spending the day at the ruins with him really helped us understand what it was like 2000 years ago!! Thank you for an outstanding day!! Phil and Cheryl ATLANTA Ga USA

We did the PRIVATE Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary Tour Skip The Line tour with Mel as our guide, and Boss as our driver. Mel was brilliant, she took the time to understand what our interests were, and what we wanted to see, then adjusted the itinerary to accommodate us. Mel was very good at explaining the history and background of the different sites we visited, both whilst we were traveling to the sites, and also at each of the sites. She really was a terrific guide, and I'd definitely request her for a different tour if the opportunity arose. Boss was a careful driver, navigating us to the different places efficiently and safely. All in all a great combination of guide and drive, and a really great experience professionally delivered. Thank you.....

I had an amazing trip to Ephesus with Eda as our tour guide, and it was truly unforgettable! Eda was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke perfect English, explaining everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. She made history come alive and answered all of my questions with great enthusiasm. The tour was very well-organized — from comfortable transportation to perfectly timed stops and plenty of time to explore and take photos. Eda made sure everyone felt included and enjoyed the experience. Her passion for what she does really shows! I learned so much and had a wonderful time discovering the ancient city. Everything ran smoothly, and I left with beautiful memories and lots of great pictures. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Turkey — if you get Eda as your guide, consider yourself lucky!

My husband and I did the private tour of Ephesus with Melike. It was by far and away the best tour we had on our 14 day cruise! Mel is very highly educated and earned her degree in being a guide. She is incredibly knowledgeable. She speaks English clearly and was easy to understand. Aside from all of that, she grew up in this area and as such her knowledge and love for it on a personal level shines through. Be sure to ask her about her childhood and she'll undoubtedly share her stories. She had the dream of being a guide since she was 9 years old and it is clear she is living and loving that dream! Fabulous tour...the sights, the history, the lunch, the guide, the driver and the comfortable van. Melike will find you the best photo ops, too! You can't miss!
