My family and I were really impressed with this tour. Our tour guide was amazing and I'm so mad at myself that I cannot remember his name!! I think tour guides really make a tour and he was the best of the best. We learned so much from our tour guide and it made the tour spectacular.

Highly recommended (with one small caveat). Small group with an excellent guide. Plenty of time spent at Ephesus, which was one of the most amazing places I've ever been. The St. Mary's house was much less interesting.

The caveat...we were taken at the end of the day to a leather factory. While this one wasn't too bad, skip it. People don't go on these types of trips to shop!

Great guide in the person of Omer who was very accommodating as there were only 4 of us. He also knew his stuff. What's not to like about Ephesus?! Even enjoyed the carpet demonstration-with-lunch!

This is one of the highlights of my trip to Turkey! I am a devout Christian and seeing the well-preserved ancient city, made me beam with pride. To have walked the very same streets the Apostles Paul and John have stepped on is something that any Christian should not miss. The guide was very knowledgeable of the history of Ephesus and the story behind the house of Mary in the hills. The scenery from Izmir to Ephesus was breathtaking. We were treated to a Turkish meal at the end of the trip. It was awesome!

The Ephesus and St. Mary's House Day Trip from Izmir was a marvelous and memorable one. My friend and I were picked up at our hotel in Izmir right on time and were actually the only ones in a luxury van for the whole day. Our tour guide was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide. He's very well versed in English and is a very experienced person. His knowledge of history and archeology of the region is superb. He went into great details about the history of Ephesus and St. Mary's House. He is a very courteous, patient and a friendly warm person. We visited a museum in Ephesus, went by St. John's church, and visited a local ceramic factory where they make nice art of ceramic plates and vases. We had a traditional delicious Turkish-style lunch at a carpet outlet. We were given a good history about Turkish carpets and how they are made. Overall, it was a very enriching, educational and cultural tour that we highly recommend to all tourists visiting Turkey. The money that we paid was minimal compared to the value of the whole tour. Thumbs up, Viator!
