We booked 2 separate tours through No Frills - Ephesus one day, followed by Priene, Miletus and Didyma the next day. Mehmet at No Frills was great in helping us plan the tours.

Our guide for both days was Ibrahim. Super friendly, super knowledgeable and happy to answer the monster list of questions we've been collecting during our travels through Turkey.

Can't recommend choosing No Frills for your visit to these incredible sites highly enough.

Our guide with No Frills was Ugur. He was professional, upbeat, knowledgeable, and passionate about Turkey’s history, in particular this time span when Ephesus was inhabited by Greeks and Romans. Definitely choose the add on to see the Terraced living area. This tour stands out as a must see for anyone interested in history and human culture. No Frills is a great value and we recommend it highly.

We wanted to do a tour of Ephesus mainly to keep our kids engaged and Ugur our guide was really great. No Frills were quick to reply to us, they didn’t take us via any shops and we could pay by card — no hidden surprises. I would recommend starting at 8am as it gets very busy and hot, and pay the extra to see the terraced houses.

Exciting, they put you on a beautiful time machine and catapult you into the past through the streets of the old city.
You learn, you get curious, you compare, you laugh and you never want to end.
I had already been to Mhemet in 2014 and it was a joy to meet him again.
I may have spent no more than an hour of my life with him (both times he organized the day for me with two of his boys) but the feeling is that of having known him forever.

Thanks FRIEND, come and visit me

This is a long overdue review! My husband and I and our two friends booked a personalized No Frills Ephesus Tour with Yesra as our guide July 2022, and it was the highlight of a memorable 5 week vacation. Yesra greeted us warmly as if we were family on arrival. She engaged us with a wealth of information about Ephesus and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend including a tour of the Terraced Houses in your Ephesus tour - it was incredible. Yesra also answered our many questions about life in Turkey, and gave us the best local lunch experience we could have imagined! The local cuisine and the outdoor restaurant atmosphere were incredible. This was the best add-on item on our tour! All in all, we felt very well taken care of. I would highly recommend this tour company, with Yesra as your guide!

What a day! We spent a lovely afternoon at Ephesus ancient city with our brilliant guide Yesra. She patiently explained us everything about the Ephesos remains and how ancient dwellers ran their life. She is a wonderful guide full of enthusiasm for her work and we strongly recommend her as a guide. With her detailed descriptions, embellished with real anecdotes of Ephosos ancient daily life, she helped us to imagine what really looked like the ancient city.
Thank you Yesra for being with us, it was such a pleasure to having you as a guide!

My wife and I booked a guided tour of Ephesus with "No Frills Ephesus Tour" and we were assigned the guide, Yesra. The company communicated with us via. WhatsApp ahead of time and sent us the exact meeting location, a photo of Yesra, and sent us a remind of list to make sure we had sunscreen, a hat, and water. Upon pulling into the parking lot, our guide Yesra was waiting to greet us. Yesra was an excellent guide - she gave us such a personal and thorough tour of Ephesus that I can't imagine doing this any other way. Totally worth the price! Yesra's knowledge of Ephesis was so complete and in depth that I was left speechless during most of this tour. I am a fan of audio guides and my wife and I actually rented a fairly good audio guide to tour Aspendos on our own, but I can tell you that no audio guide could come even close to the depth of details that Yesra explained. I was able to relax and enjoy Ephesus and simply be in complete awe and amazement at the complexity and vastness of Ephesus. Be sure to also buy the "combo" ticket so Yesra can guide you through the Ephesus Terrace Houses. Thank you Yesra!!

We have used several times before on visits to archeological sights and it adds so much to the visit to have their expert insight. No Frills Tours was no exception - our guide, Funda, was great - knowledgeable, engaging, and great at making sure we saw the highlights.

No Frills was flexible at setting us up on a day and at at time that suited, and in tailoring the agenda to suit us - we had our own car so didn't need a driver.

We started in the south car park of Ephesus, walked downhill through Ephesus then took a short taxi back to our car. From there Funda rode with us to the Basilica of St John, then took us through the Ephesus Museum and gave us some lunch recommendations (which we gratefully took her up on!)

Highly recommended!

No Thrills Ephesus Tours delivered exactly what we wanted (at short notice!). We didn't want a tour with a hotel collection, or lunch stops, or carpet factory visits. We just wanted a guide who could meet our group of four at the site and take us through Ephesus and give us a very informed tour.....and that's exactly what we got.

Our guide, Metin, shared a wealth of knowledge with us and answered all the questions we had.

His level of fluency in English is excellent, and our group would highly recommend him if you are after a straightforward guided tour at Ephesus.

My sister and I booked the half day tour of Ephesus with Yesra as our guide and we could not have been happier!! She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We loved all the insight she shared about the ruins and the history of the site. Her passion for Turkey's history was contagious and we didn't want the tour to end. I highly recommend this tour! Especially with Yesra as your guide!
