Great long day but worth every minute. Guide Mehmet was excellent, relaxed and just flat-out knowledgeable. We started at 4:30 am and back at our ARBNB by 10:00(would have been home earlier but we waited on our transportation from the airport). Regardless of the long day, we were able to fit in quite a bit of sites. Also went to a Turkish carpet making (no pressure to buy), a leather/fashion show and gourmet shop for goods. We paid our entrance fees, but I knew that going into the tour. Also, got some great pictures from our guide. Just book it!

What an amazing day. My husband and I were picked up promptly at 4:30 am, was met by Mehmet our guide w/driver after our 1 hour flight to Izmir. Spent the majority of our day at Ephesus. Ended the tour with a carpet making demonstration (no pressure to buy) a leather shop
(treated to a private fashion show) and then a gourmet spot for saffron, special oils and Turkish delights. Lunch was excellent. Spent some quality time with our guide, extremely passionate about his work as a licensed guide in the area. Had no idea a guide has to attend a 4 year University program in Turkey w/mentorship in order to guide these tours. These guides are like walking Wikipedia’s. Great story telling, relaxed pace but packed with lots of memories and history. Some of the entrance fees were not included, but I knew that when I booked the tour. Great communication with the tour company on WhatsApp. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Our trip was great but your website is not user friendly. When the chat line couldn't expedite the booking in Australia, I had to call your Sydney office. To book a Turkish Bath in Bodrum I gave up when I couldn't pay & went elsewhere. There is a problem when u use 'other' in the pickup location, then the booking won't progress to payment.

I booked this tour for my 70 year old mum and I. We were the only two tht booked that day so we had a private tour. Our driver and guide were excellent. The guide was very informative and the driver treated us to a tea by the petrol station made over a fire. What a beautiful day. Would have gone on another tour if it was guaranteed to be with both of them.

We planned this trip as a couple and we had Phyllis as a tour guide and she was absolutely wonderful! She was so knowledgeable about the areas we went to, she answered every question we asked her and she took us to extra places around the area as we had extra time, she took us to a leather and fur showroom where we got to take part in a cat walk, we went to see pottery being made and we also got to see how traditional Turkish carpets were made! We would do this again in a heart beat, but you need more than 1 day to do this!

Rose did an amazing job as our tour guide! We had a long drive from our hotel but she made it interesting and when we were on-site she was great at maneuvering the crowds and sharing pertinent information. The rug cooperative stop and lunch was delicious and the optional leather warehouse stop were great.

Long drive but our guide was excellent and was concerned for us and helped on the hottest day this year 43C

The House of the Virgin Mary is awe inspiring. Ephesus is incredible. However there is no shade. You need to bring a hat as that stop takes 90 minutes. Our tour guide was terrific and knew a ton of history.

Our guide, Mehmet, was incredibly knowledgeable. If you want to learn about the ancient site of Ephesus, you must go with a guide. And make sure you visit the rug coop. The array of beautiful carpets was mesmerizing.
