Josh absolutely made this tour for our group! Knowledgeable and friendly, we felt like we got the best experience possible for what was already an incredible deal. Doing such a big trip in a day was daunting but we were taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to visit Ephesus and the surrounding area.

Absolutely have to recommend this! We had a fabulous time on this tour with Fatima, our friendly and knowledgeable guide. I'm happy with how many locations we were able to squeeze in to make this day packed of interesting and education sites as well as some engaging conversations with Fatima herself. And a tasty lunch, to boot. A driver picked us up from the hotel and was extremely prompt (2 minutes early) and the vehicle was very comfortable and clean. No issues at all and gave us immediate confidence that the entire tour was well planned so we could start relaxing already on our way to the airport. We had the private tour with just the two of us and so we had a van to ourselves and our guide for the day, which was also clean and comfortable. The driver was very friendly and courteous and he and Fatima always kept us happy and on schedule. Overall I'm very pleased we selected this tour and that we were able to have such a wonderful experience in the convenience of a single day trip. I have recommended this tour already to friends who have been thinking about visiting Istanbul. So if you're thinking of doing a trip to Ephesus, too, this is definitely a safe option for ensuring you have an great experience.

I took the Ephesus tour with Gul M. and loved it. She is very passionate and knowledgeable. She explained everything in detailed and chose everything carefully. She even accommodated and made changes to our tour as we wanted to do something additional. She is great and will recommend her highly.

We loved seeing the ancient ruins and our favorite place was St John’s basilica and burial place. The museum was interesting and our side events of seeing rug making and pottery making was exceptional. Our guide, Gul was very knowledgeable and took such good care of us!
