Ephesus private tour for 8

Published on May, 2024

Van was new, huge and air-conditioned, our guide Goksel is amazing. We chose not to do lunch and Virgin Mary house. Instead we went to Ephesus and a china making factory. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wonderful day, do not hesitate to book this tour. Made me fall in love with Turkey and the people.

My guide Sam was the best! The communication from confirmation to meeting place and time were perfect. Sam was waiting for me and was just a wonderful guide. He was very educated on the history, patient with my questions, very considerate. I also felt his passion for his job which is most appreciated as a customer. I would definately book another tour with him and can't recommend him enough.

My guide Sam was wonderful, very worth booking this tour.

The communication for the meeting place was excellent. Sam was waiting for me. He was so knowledgeable and considerate. I truly appreciate his passion for history and position as a guide. I was so impressed with his knowledge, kindness and professionalism. I feel he took the extra step to make sure I was comfortable. He covered so many things in the time we had, it was just right.

Excellent tour, fantastic guide, thanks Sam!

Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Goksel (Sam) was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and took us through all the sights with detailed historical information that was very interesting and we learned quite a lot about the political history and how that impacted the region. Goksel was a fantastic guide, would definitely get him for other tours in the region. Made sure we were always comfortable and he also takes great photos!
