Fatima was a wonderful tour guide. She met us immediately at the port exit and started our tour. She shared a lot of information and assured we had enough time to tour the sites to our satisfaction. She allowed us to cistomize our tour to ensure we saw everything on our list - Mary’s House, St John cathedral, Ephesus sites and the terrace houses. We arrived on a Viking Cruise and we returned directly to the port in plenty of time before our departure time.

Went with Fatima from the Viking Star. She did a wonderful job. She took us to all of the stops in Ephesus that we wanted to see. Our driver was great too. We were on time and had excellent explanations of the sites with very good English.

Excellent tour. Our guide, Fatima, was so knowledgeable and customized the tour for us. We enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant, visited a school where they make rugs and even saw a fashion show of local leather coats. Ephesus was amazing. Because we were interested, Fatima arranged for us to go see The house of Mary. I especially enjoyed the small group setting and we were back to the ship on time.

We booked through Viator as part of our cruise with the Celebrity Infinity. Meeting the tour guide was easy, even in a hectic area. Fatima was an INCREDIBLE tour guide, and Halil (I believe that was his name) was a very safe and considerate driver. This experience was wonderful and easy to customize, adding in a stop or two that was suggested (to note, a visit to Mary’s House is not included, but it is easy to add and very inexpensive. If you decide to go, bring USD/Euros in cash to repay your tour guide for parking, but you can use cards to buy tickets. A WONDERFUL lunch was added too. This tour was a great way to spend our day in Kusadasi, and visiting Ephesus. Even with the added stops, we were back to the ship dock PLENTY early, with time to still explore the markets and foods near the port. I would 100% book this experience again - ESPECIALLY if I knew Fatima was leading us!!

Josh did a wonderful job of showing us the sights, explaining the history, and adjusting a bit for our interests and limitations. SRJ804

Josh tailored our tour to accommodate my limited walking. He shared a lot of history and I got a new perspective of the worship of the Gods. SRJ804

Ozzy, was great very noticeable. He made the day fun! And the lunch was wonderful. The ruins were wonderful to see. Thank for the great time and thanks to the driver.

Ismail was wonderful, very cordial and informative on the tour…we appreciated all of his knowledge throughout the sites. He also offered to take us any other places that we would be interested in visiting, we highly recommend Ismail.

Bugra was a wonderful guide. Enjoyed the food and the carpets are gorgeous. Driver was courteous and drove safely. The day was beautiful.

Very comprehensive guided tour by Kadir. An early start on a rainy day so we had the Ephesus ruins to ourselves, perfect for photographs. Thank you for a relaxing trip.

Ismael was a great trip guide. He took us all around the Ephesus tour and was very generous about making sure we were well taken care of and learned a lot. He is very knowledgeable and great to talk to.

This was an awesome experience, and we had a great time at the ruins of Ephesus, the Turkish Art Cooperative, the Leather Factory, the Temple of Artemis, and more. Our guide, Ismail, was so kind and informative, and was sure to give us the best experience possible.

Ismail was wonderful he spoke well and is very knowledgeable. He was able to show us unique things around the Ephesus area that we would not be able to see with other tour guides

The Ephasus tour was great and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He took us to a carpet company and later we had an amazing lunch. Would highly recommend if you are traveling as a group.

Fantastic service, very informative about Turkey & friendly with our group from the US, took us around for half a day through the ruins, a carpet factory, and a great restaurant
