Henry was amazing!!! We enjoyed this excursion immensely! He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We felt like we were spending the day with a dear friend.

Tyvan and our driver (I’m sorry I don’t remember his name). Were marvelous. The driver talked the guard into letting him drive down the hill to drop us off. The historical information was interesting and appropriate for the tour. Their kindness, recommendations, and professionalism were 5 star quality. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The tour description matched the tour!

Our Ephesus Private Tour far exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Ceyda was beyond amazing. She explained so much to us throughout the entire tour and often asked if we had any questions. She also suggested an amazing local place to eat and shop. Ceyda, thank you for being so wonderful. Because of you, our tour was beyond enjoyable. We sincerely appreciate you.

I booked this tour on behalf of my clients. The guide, Hakan was nothing short of spectacular. He was wonderful! Very inclusive of the kids and granted every request. He also kept me informed about my clients throughout the day. I was happy and my clients praised him and said it was the highlight of their trip. THANK YOU Hakan ! 10/10 and can't wait to work with him again.

We had the best tour of Ephesus and Kusadasi with our private tour led by Yesra. She promptly picked us up from the cruise port, and filled our day with outstanding knowledge, patience and a great attitude. We enjoyed that she let us spend more time at our personal interest sites, and allowed us to minimize the things we were less interested in. Wonderful day with Amazing Yesta!!

We had Henry as our tour guide and he was the most amazing guide we have ever had. A++ guide, would definitely recommend!!

Memo was a fantastic tour guide! We saw the ancient ruins of Ephesus, walked the path of the Apostle Paul, saw the tower of Artemis, was taught how handmade rugs are made as well as beautiful ceramics. Memo took us to a great local spot for a wonderful and affordable lunch!! I would highly recommend this tour and our tour guide Memo!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. He suggested a lunch restaurant and ate with us which was very nice and the food was great. He took us to a place that makes rugs and another that makes ceramic bowls and plates. Lots of incredible picture opportunities. Highly recommend!

Memo (Mehmet) was absolutely fantastic as a tour guide and very informative. He gave us plenty of good recommendations as well. Amazing experience overall!

We were in the Port of Kusadasi, Turkey for the day on a cruise ship, and we had booked a shore excursion thru Viator Tours for a tour of the Ephesus region. Due to a last minute change of our cruise itinerary, we were mistakenly given the wrong time to meet our tour guide in port, meaning our guide, Melisa Sinek, had to wait 45 minutes for us to disembark the ship. Melisa was very kind and understanding of this mixup and we hit the ground running. Because of our delay, we changed the original itinerary and Melisa handle it with absolutely no problem and made the necessary changes on the fly. Melisa is very kind and personable, and being born and raised in this region, she was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the local flavor. Even though Turkish is her native language, she spoke very good English. The tour went off without a hitch and I would highly recommend Melisa if you find yourself in the area and want an exceptional tour guide. Melisa is a fantastic representative of her company, so don’t miss the opportunity to book her services !!

Visiting Turkey on board a cruise ship with only the day to spare, We booked a private tour guide through Viator and were so blessed to have Melisa Senik as our guide for the day. Just prior to sailing, our ship swapped days for us to visit this port but the company was on top of it and quickly switched our tour. I however, forgot to update my personal itinerary so we ended up being about 45 mins late getting off the boat but Melisa was still waiting on us! She was the absolute sweetest and spoke great English. We walked through the port and met our driver. My husband and I are not really into seeing every ancient ruin but Melisa understood the assignment. She gave us many options to make the schedule whatever we wanted it to be and we felt comfortable telling her our wishes while also taking her advice. We ultimately chose to visit Ephesus and Melisa walked us through the highlights. It was so nice having a private guide to take us through, passing all of the big tour groups. I really enjoyed the museum experience. We were at Ephesus for about an hour and a half. After that Melisa took us to a carpet looming center which was very interesting. We did not feel pressured to buy anything which was nice. We then had a traditional Turkish lunch at the same location and Melisa joined us. We so enjoyed getting to know her and learning about the Turkish culture. All throughout the day she knew people at each location and was so kind. Once we finished lunch, my husband and I were ready to head back to the ship. It was a great experience and meeting Melisa was probably my favorite part! I highly recommend this excursion and if you can get Melisa, you won’t be disappointed.

Yesim was fantastic. We were more pleased than we could have imagined. I was not sure how it would be but it was so amazing. Yesim showed us the history, are, culture, he great food, and the beautiful warm and welcoming people of this land.

Yesim our tour guide was absolutely one of the best tour guides we have had the pleasure of experiencing. From the pick up at the port, the private transport all day, the invaluable history shared with us about Turkey/ Ephesus while we walked the ruins and historical sites. Our tour included a beautiful pottery shop where we watched such amazing pieces being made, lunch in a beautiful garden enjoying local Turkey cuisine and rounding out with a tour and education on Turkish rug making. WOW what a perfect day !! Thank you Yesim, you outdid yourself!! Rachel and Dan Sloan 10/10/24

Yesim was the very best tour guide. We e traveled all over the world and have never experienced as wonderful an experience. Yesim took us to unique places with pottery and carpet making. She conducted incredible tours of the ruins. She deserves 10 stars out of 5

Our tour guide, Sersar Atalan, did an excellent job on our tour. He was very informative. He really knows his history for the areas we visited. Would definitely use him again.
