- 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 more
Guide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Raymond Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to travel with us! We're truly grateful you took the time to share your experience. It means the world to us to know that the journey we curated left a meaningful impression on... Show moreTrip date: February 2025 - 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!
