- AGAlan· October 5th, 2025Umut and his team put together an amazing intinerary that enabled us to enjoy and appreciate Turkey's truly amazing natural beauty and extremely rich history/culture. Before and during our tour, Zerrin, who works in the office kept us well informed and responded promptly to any questions we had. The pickups and transfers went off smoothly. Our guides, especially Benjamin in Istanbul) and Utku in Pamukkale/Ephesus, were oustanding. They were friendly, extremely knowledgeable and presented what Turkey had to offer.with great enthusiasm. Most importantly they were caring and paced the day well, so we never felt tired. The meals were all delicious. The day cruise was most pleasent.We paid to upgrade our hotel. I would strongly recommend this. It was excellent value for money. The hotels in Kusdasi and Urgup in particular were simply great. Overall we had a fabulous, most memorable holiday. Enjoyed everything! Well done team!.10/10Show moreTrip date: August 2025

- SASanjhar· August 11th, 2025We just completed our 9-day tour of Turkey, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled — from the airport pickups to the hotels, tour guides, tour operators, and meals — everything exceeded our expectations. The entire trip was seamlessly coordinated, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. My family of five was greeted at each airport, transferred to beautiful hotels, and given clear instructions for the next day’s activities. Every evening, the tour operator would share the schedule for the following day, including meeting times and detailed plans, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Our tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Turkey’s history and culture. Their insights made each city and site come alive. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering visiting Turkey. The country is breathtakingly beautiful, and we enjoyed every single city we visited. This journey gave us memories we will cherish forever.Show more

Trip date: July 2025 - Ray· March 28th, 2025The itinerary and planning was well thought out. Umut was excellent at logistics and organized all transfers and flights over whatsapp as mentioned in the trip voucher. The tour guides and drivers were mostly excellent. Benjamin in Istanbul and Utku in Kasadasi were professional and knowledgable. Fatima in Cappadocia was knowledgable but needs more seasoning in professionalism (had a little too much candor in certain subject areas outside of the tour). The sights, sounds, smells were all fantasic. When the ceiling of our hotel rooms (and another Canadian couple) started leaking at 2am in the morning, we were moved to the upgraded suites for the rest of our stay with a late check out which was fair. The hotel hand wrote an apology letter which was nice. Umut also got our family a free dinner for our troubles. We didn't know what to expect when booking through Tourradar for the first time but Guide to Ephesus exceeded my expectations. Umut helped booked an extra pretour day in Istandbul, our balloons, and recommended a hamam which turned out perfect as well.Show moreGuide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Raymond Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to travel with us!

- MMMike· January 21st, 2025This was possibly the worst travel tour I have ever taken. From the very start it was disorganized. It started with the operator telling me to “phone the transfer company myself” when I tried to Confirm the address of our pickup. And ended on the last night with waiting 40 minutes standing in a cold parking lot waiting for our transfer from Airport to the hotel. Only to be driven to the wrong hotel. Each day We had to ask for pickup times and flight information. No one seemed to be looking after the tour.Show moreGuide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Mike, thank you for your review.

- SDSteven· November 2nd, 2024This was a reasonably priced tour. As such it fully met and often exceeded our expectations. The hotels were all of a pretty good quality. The guides knew their stuff and were all qualified for the job. Barca, who took us to Ephasus and Pamukkale was particularly good. There was the usual “opportunities” to buy various carpets and ceramics, but I think you will get that on any tour, and the products on offer were all very good quality. Of note, the tour price does not include entrance to the sites and museums, and that does add up over time. The tour also includes meals, but not drinks. So, buyer beware, check the price of drinks before you order. One glass of wine cost me 450 Lira. On the whole though we really enjoyed the tour and the staff both on the front line and in the back office were great. It was good value for money. I would definitely recommend Guides of Ephasus for this tour.Show moreGuide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Steven Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to travel with us!

Traveler•Written May 2025Could we please request that we fly only with Turkish Airlines and Sunexpress Airlines?
- Guide of EphesusOperator•Written May 2025
we cannot guarantee this, we will try but airlines are up to the tour and flight schedules. for example from izmir to cappadocia turkish airlines are not flying and sun epxress is not everyday. so we have to use pegasus also from cappadocia to istanbul most suitable airline is AJET and also it depends on the number of group. so as informed airline companies cannot be guaanteed most suitable flights will be choosen.
