The tour was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. Ephesus was amazing and there is so much to see! Our guide, Filiz, was fantastic and had so much information to share. She really moulded the tour to suit us as a group so we could get what we wanted out of the day. The small group experience was perfect as you could weave in and out of the bigger ship tours and get the best photos without queuing. Afterwards, Filiz recommended us a family run restaurant for lunch that we thoroughly enjoyed and would probably have never found without her!

Our guide, Ahu, was delightful, her English excellent and her knowledge exemplary. We learnt a lot and would definitely like to visit Ephesus again. What a stunning place with so much history. The drive there and back was good too especially as we returned by a different route. It was interesting to see the agriculture and scenery outside Izmir. Thank you.

My daughter (11) and I had the pleasure of touring Ephesus this morning with Oguz. The whole experience was professional, relaxed and interesting. Oguz had a fantastic knowledge of Ephesus and navigated us around the summer crowds. His ability to convey information to myself and young daughter made sure we both enjoyed the historical side of Ephesus. I’d highly recommend
