Customer Reviews
Wonderful private-feeling Ephesus tour with Tas! We had an excellent tour of Ephesus with our guide, Tas. Since it’s the end of the season, my husband and I ended up being the only two guests in the small group, which made the experience like a private tour. Tas was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ephesus and shared fascinating details at every stop. We appreciated how he started our tour at the Virgin Mary’s House to avoid the larger crowds — a thoughtful touch that made the morning so peaceful. Tas gave us plenty of time to take photos and even took several great pictures of us at various locations, which we’ll treasure as memories of our day. Lunch at the co-op was lovely, and we really enjoyed learning about how Turkish rugs are made — so interesting and informative! Tas answered all our questions with ease and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend Tas to anyone visiting Ephesus — he truly made our day unforgettable
Our guide Nesli was amazing as she showed us all around the Ephesus sight pacing the walk and navigating the crowds, pointing out the best vantage point for photos etc. ending with the museum which was nice ending and summary. Lunch was fantastic and the rug demonstration very informative- transportation in a very comfortable Mercedes SUV. Excellent
Tas was a very informative and friendly. He made sure we arrived at the House of Mary before the crowds arrived and then took us to the ruins of Ephesus where we were impressed with the size and history of Ephesus. Would highly recommend this tour.
