Traveler reviews
Knowledgable & Freindly
Our Guide Atalan was extremely knowlegable and friendly.He Has a wealth of information and was generally interested and self tough about many of the sights. We had a lovely lunch and what I believe was a restaurant picked out buy the tour company and not the guide. I would have given this 5 stars but after lunch we were handed off to a guy and had a rug demo and a sales push to buy a rugs.
A Few Hours in Ephesus? This Tour is Worth It!
Baris was an amazing guide—he was so knowledgeable and made our trip both intellectual and fun. Our visit to Turkey would not have been the same without him! Would highly recommend the private tour of Ephesus with a delicious lunch.
Ceyda is a star!
The arrangements with Ephesus Port Tours were easy and worked well. The car transport and the driver they provided were excellent but the best part was our guide Ceyda who was first class. She took care of us throughout the 7 hour trip. She answered all our questions and described the sights clearly and in an interesting/fun way. I would highly recommend this activity.
Amazing experience
The tour guide Leila was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient! She waited for us patiently. Leila curtailed the tour to our request.
Perfect way to see Turkey!!
Our Ephesus tour was PHENOMENAL!! Banu, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. She led us all over Turkey in a new Mercedes air-conditioned van explaining culture and history to us along the way. We did the Ephesus walking tour, toured the House of the Virgin Mary, enjoyed an authentic Turkish luncheon in a beautiful setting, toured a working Turkish knotted rug factory where we saw rugs being handmade, stopped at a family-owned pottery enterprise where we got a turn at the pottery wheel and bought some true Turkish hand made pottery, and we made many, many stops for beautiful photos throughout our day. Banu and the driver were so very kind to share their culture with us. The private all day tour was absolutely the BEST way to see Turkey!! We will cherish the sights, photographs, and memories forever!!
