My husband and I recently hired Ephesus Port Tours for a personal tour of Ephesus and the surrounding region. Our tour guide, Hakan, was amazing and showed us an absolutely fabulous day. We saw all of the sites listed in the tour description, but he also took us to the countryside where we experienced a fascinating tour of a rural rug factory and learned how Turkish carpets are made. (It was a no-pressure to buy tour and super interesting and enjoyable.) Next to the factory we enjoyed the most amazing and HUGE spread of Turkish food at the factory restaurant for only $10 per person. Hakan was very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to answer our many questions about the ancient city of Ephesus, the biblical connections, etc. This was one of 5 stops we made during a Mediterranean cruise and was, for me, a big highlight of the trip in large part thanks to Hakan and Ephesus Port Tours. I strongly recommend them!

Our guide Banu and Selo our driver were excellent! We customized a private tour for 13 people (teens to grandparents) visiting Ephesus, Terrace Houses, House of Virgin Mary, St. john Basilica, and lunch at a great spot our tour guide took us. We were able to hit all the locations and not feel rushed. I originally emailed them directly to request the type of tour I wanted. Elif was very good to work with and answered emails in a timely manner. While some of my group wanted to see how rugs were made, this is a stop I would have skipped. It made for making it back to the port a little stressful. That said, the day was perfect and everyone in our group enjoyed it very much!

Our tour guide Dilek was amazing! She was very flexible with us and answered all of our questions. She and the driver arrive at our Airbnb in Izmir on time. The van was very clean and new with hand sanitizer available. Dilek was very knowledgeable on all the history of the sites. She made very good food recommendations for us to try. Overall I was very satisfied with Ephesus Port Tours. I highly recommend booking directly with them via their website, better prices and QUICK reply. They are flexible and work with you.
