Banu from Ephesus Port Tours was the BEST tour guide I have ever had in Al my years of travel. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ephesus and Turkey as a whole, but she was extremely friendly and accomodating . She went to great lengths to find out our interests and then proceeded to organise a fabulous day, jam packed with interesting things to see and do once we had thoroughly explored Ephesus. If you are looking for a top notch guide who is knowledgeable,very well spoken and loads of fun, you can’t go past Banu. We had a fantastic day with her!

We had a fabulous guide, her name was Banu. She helped us see the highlights of Ephesus that we wanted, gave us great history and we had plenty of time to enjoy the sights. She really personalized our trip by taking us to lunch at an out-of-way place that had great Turkish food. We got to see how the Turks hand weave a rug and how they hand-make their pottery. It was an overall great experience. Thank you Ephesus Port Tours and especially Banu.

I was blown away by the tour. Ulas’s was not only friendly but his level of professional and knowledge of the area was unsurpassed. Absolutely the best tour I have ever taken.

Ulash was our private guide. He was early and waiting for us at the port. He took us on a guided tour of Ephesus. He is extremely knowledgeable. He then took us to a farm to table lunch. Everything was delicious. He showed us around to a few other amazing places. He is polite, courteous and overall an amazing guide. We highly recommend Ulash.

Erkan was a wonderful guide. She made the ruins at Ephesus come to life for us. When we expressed an interest in handmade items she took a us to a lovely family-owned stoneware place and we also saw rugs being made at another location. We finished by visiting Mary’s house. Highly recommend you ask for her!

Jasmine was an excellent presenter, well-informed, corrigible, and highly relatable and devoted to her role as tour guide. We couldn't recommend her more.

Excellent tour with Banu providing an informal, but highly educational day filled with wonder and awe. Since she’s a life-long local, she has a wealth of insider knowledge that she uses on behalf of her clients!s.
