This excursion was quite moving. Seeing Virgin Mary’s house and the ruins in Ephesus was amazing. Wear comfortable shoes and use walking sticks to prevent falling. The ground is very uneven. But it was well worth the trip. I’d do it again if given a chance.

We loved our trip to Ephesus with Hakan. We were picked from Izmir by the driver and Hakan joined us. It was a great day and a wonderful storytelling by Hakan.

Hakan was our tour guide and he was amazing. He was super sweet and extremely knowledgeable, we got an in depth explanation about each place we went and we got to experience both history and culture. In one day we visited the Temple of Artemis, the Ephesus ruins, the House of Mary, carpet and pottery factories, got local lunch, and went inside an ancient Turkish bath. The timing was perfect and he was very flexible with the schedule. Hakan was able to answer all of our questions as well. He also brought pet food and let us feed cats. This was a lovely experience and it would not have been the same had we not had his guidance. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting with family, he is very nice!

We had a tour today with Hagan. He was great. He was one of the best tour guide ever we have been to Ephesus, house of Mary, Temple of Artemis, carpet factory, local lunch, and pottery workshop. all of them just in a single day. It was a great day.

Hakan was our guide and he was fantastic, personable, easy going, and funny. The trip was thorough, tailored, and well paced. We enjoyed the archaeological sites and the pottery and carpet factory side trips. Lunch was perfect, delicious and affordable! Highly recommend this tour!

Ayes was amazing, so glad we did this tour and the information she imparted was just what we were after. Relaxed and friendly, and professional, we had plenty of time and back to this ship no problem. Highly recommend.
