About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Anne U0 contributionsA site to see….A site worth seeing. Unfortunately there was little water flowing over the travertines at this time. The highlight was the theatre. The guide was very informative and helpful. Trip could be improved be eliminating the stop for the onyx and jewellery factory and given us the extra 1/2 hour at Pamukalle and Hieropolis.Written September 28, 2024

- karinab6640 contributionsLots of funI would definitely recommend this tour from Selcuk! The trip to Pamukkale wasn't too long so I was on-time for my evening transportation out of Selcuk after coming back from the tour. I would recommend making the optional payment to use Cleopatra's Pools, it's a nice experience and they have all the modern facilities like bathrooms and storage lockers.Written July 21, 2022
- lorilynnwill0 contributionsAwesome Tour Guide Josh!!!On Thursday, September 24th, we toured Ephesus, Mary's House and Temple of Artemis. We had a wonderful experience! Our tour guide Josh was very knowledgeable, patient and such a joy to tour these sites with. But, what stood out the most about Josh was his PASSION for his job and his culture! He knew so much about the sites and not only that, he added information which was so interesting such as places which were closed off (ancient caves) that he had been able to tour in college as part of his education in becoming a guide. We thoroughly toured all permitted areas with Josh. I had been on the Ephesus tour three years prior and we only saw half of what Josh showed us on his tour. We had a wonderful group and such a knowledgeable and funny, interesting guide. Thank you Josh!Written October 20, 2021

All the drivers and tour guides were very punctual, friendly and knowledgeable which made the entire experience even more exciting! Guray was an awesome friendly tour guide! I would highly recommend Alaturka travels for your Turkey trip!!!Written September 21, 2021

He was instrumental in arranging a last minute paragliding for me, and also made sure we had a great experience with all the activities. the buffet lunch had lots of options and everything was delicious. The restaurant was really large and had lots of open space. Ali our driver was excellent. Would highly recommend!Written September 4, 2021

His knowledge about Roman architecture and the culture of Turkey was immense. Our driver Ali was very professional and made sure we were safe at all times. We would definitely recommend the tour with this duo. Thank you ALATURKA!Written August 18, 2021

- Ashley K0 contributionsEphesus and Pamukkale tourI had a great time on the Ephesus and Pamukkale tour. It was so much fun and Güray was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour exciting. My favorite part was when we went to Ephesus all the cats recognized him and were asking him for food. It was so cute and I appreciate his good heart for feeding them. I would highly recommend Güray as a guide. I had a great time on this tour.Written June 9, 2021

My tour guide, Coskun, was attentive and accommodating making sure I was comfortable during my experience. He also was attentive to curate my experience based on my interest. Would definitely recommend paying more for the quality experience.Written April 3, 2021

Joseph was our guide and interpreter for 6 day trip excursions over a week long stay in Kusadasi. His knowledge of classical Greco-Roman culture, civilization, and architecture was deep and thorough. As well his ability to translate and transition between Turkish and English made his presence invaluable for our group with a limited knowledge of the language. He is very personable and a great listener. We wish we could’ve brought him along to the next stop on our trip, Istanbul!!! Highly recommend

Visited Ephesus with my wife in March 2020. We chose Alaturka & was given Marsy as our tour guide. We had a great time with her. She made the ruins come alive with her stories & captured our imagination esp in the library ... hahaha! Thank you so much Marsy! My wife was so happy that she wanted to come back with our children in the future. So that our children can appreciate modern amenities. We appreciate Turkey's rich heritage of ionites, romans, byzantiums, turks, etc ...so interesting that we paid attention! Also, thank you Marsy for giving us tips on photography spots. You are such a gem!
Good job Alaturka... worth every euro & more!

Faisal has a lot of knowledge about pagan gods and symbols, as well as historical facts about Ephesus and surrounding sites that made this an enjoyable and educational tour. A good alternative to a private tour at half the price. Of course, the usual shopping component was included (carpet school, leather jackets) but that is the norm, and was somewhat educational in this case.

The tour started well , we enjoyed the commentary and information Marsy gave. The driver and guide were both polite and helpful. We felt disappointed that we were not allowed enough time to support the local craftsman and merchants as we left Ephesus. We stopped for a buffet lunch which was fine . It was there we began to hear about “ the show “ ... what “show “ could this be ? Nothing on the tour itinerary indicated this . After a brief stop at the Artemis Temple, we were whisked away to a leather goods outlet, served tea and put into a room for a fashion show of leather jackets and coats ! Order cards and pencils provided for our convenience. We felt disappointed and a bit deceived that our time was high jacked to see leather goods . Not cool !

I did the full day Ephesus tour with my 6 year old daughter and we had a brilliant time. It was very easy to book the tour (googled) and we were picked up from our hotel. The communication from the company was very reassuring. As for the tour itself- fantastic! Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The minibus was cool and comfortable and our driver did a marvellous job and dropped up back at our hotel. I was initially hesitant about booking a tour online but highly recommend this company. It was well worth it. Thank you!

I recommended the tour guide, Marsy very much👍👍. Although the weather was so bad that it affected my feeling a little bit . But Marsy was very passionate and tried to gave us the best parts about the history as detailed as she could. It was worthwhile to join her group😉

Booked online for the Ephesus day tour and got a good deal. Kudos to our guide Guray who was knowledgeable and cared about the interests of the group. He even accommodated our requests to visit St John Basilica which wasn’t on the itinerary.👍🏻👍🏻 Though his English can be a bit hard to understand at times, the tour was still highly informative. The transport was a comfortable Mercedes van and buffet lunch had a nice spread. Well done Alaturka and Guray!
