See Ephesus easily and comfortably!
michael_p
, May 2022
Our guide Onder did a great job! He met us on time, got us in a comfortable van and provided an interesting narrative of the history of the area using a map. Our driver did a great job too-very friendly and helpful. Once on site and after we purchased tickets, Onder again gave compelling information on the sights we were seeing at Ephesus, which is worth the effort to see. I had no idea about how well preserved this archeological treasure is! The way to see Ephesus is with a small group-the small van could maneuver to the entrance easily, requiring less walking just to get to the entrance. After we walked through the grounds and exit, there was the van again amongst a sea of buses-and out we drove!
Once back in Kusadasi, I asked Onder to recommend a restaurant close to the cruise port. He not only recommended one, he walked us there, spoke to the staff about what time we needed leave, helped us order and departed!
We had a great lunch sampling local fare with an amazing view and walked out on time to reboard our ship. I highly recommend Onder and this tour-well done Onder!

Awesome tour, great guide, highly recommended

Had a great time on the tour. Booked a small group tour but it turned out to be our group of four with a driver and separate tour guide. Our tour guide, Ismail, is it going for his PhD in tourism and was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Ephesus was a very interesting archaeological site (admission was not included but was very reasonable at the equivalent of about 10 euros each). Everything in Turkey was inexpensive, including this tour which we thought was a bargain compared to tours in other places. Had a very nice kebab lunch for not a lot. Carpet making demonstration was very interesting but of course ended with them trying to sell you carpets. They were not too pushy about it. Highly recommend this tour.

Learned a lot about Turkey history...

Learned a lot about Turkey history AND culture. We were an hour late and our tour guide waited for us! Besides Ephesis we were taken to the usual tourist stops carpet shop, pottery factory, leather coat showroom but we received warm hospitality and no strong pressure to buy. Our guide and driver took care to watch out for us. The tour guide was super knowledgeable.

We enjoyed this tour more than any others. Our guide was so professional and was very informative. He was very considerate of our well-being as well. It was brutally hot, but he did his best to keep us comfortable. The rug tour was great as well in fact we did purchase one. However, the ensuing stops at the ceramic shop and the jewelry shops were a bit too much oversell for us.

Avoid!! The destination are amazing - worth a proper tour. This tour was not what viator shows. It was less than 2 hours including drive to the ruins. Guidr rushed us complained about weather then took us to a private and cultural experience which was a HARD SALES rug maker! Never saw temple! BAD!
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Neilz,
First of all, thank you for sharing your comment! the tour visits Ephesus Ruins and Temple of Artemis, you have visited the Temple, as you know its an ancient ruin and maybe that sway you couldn't realize that, sorry for that! Other guests on the same tour with you had written great reviews about the same tour! We hope to make it better next time, thank you for your understanding!
Best Regards

Our guide Ali was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the booked tour
I had booked the 2nd bus option at 10am but our guide had not been given this information from Viator so he thought we were late. This was not a problem with the tour company and they went over and beyond to accommodate us and made us feel very welcome.
very enjoyable. had it not been the mis--communication I would have awarded 5 stars for sure

Craig D
, Sep 2015
Our guide picked us up at the Cruise Port and the transportation from Kusadasi to Ephesus was very comfortable especially since it was a hot day. There were six in our group and another couple from New Zealand.
Our guide was Adam and he was extremely knowledgeable of the area and the ruins in Ephesus. You could tell he has a strong passion for the history of this area and that he studies it constantly. He warned us to bring plenty of water, use sun screen and wear hats and we were grateful that we heeded his advice. Adam looked for shade to stop and tell us about the importance of the various ruins we saw.
The ancient library, amphitheater, markets, and homes were all very facinating. We made one more stop at an ancient temple but there was not much left to see and then he took us to a leather factory where we were treated to a fashion show. After the runway show, we entered the factory showroom where they tried to sell us leather jackets, but hey, when it is 87F out you're not interested. I think it was a cultural thing where the tour guides need to take you to a leather factory, rug factory or ceramic factory. Interesting experience but we could have skipped it.
As I said, Adam was a great tour guide and very personable. I would definitely ask for him.

Great Tour and Great tour guide. Best tour of Ruins EphasusI have experienced. Guide also accommodated group desires for side trip to Virgin Mary's House shrine, at small cost. Only disappointment was Temple of Artemis.- the Temple itself was actually removed to a London Museum. The site has a few stones left behind, with many souvenir vendors trying hard to make a living.

Very good. the guide was very informative. The olny issue was that we were on disembarking we were met by a guide who asked if we were with Viator and prompltly took us the the mini van. After 15 minutes of our journey, she then realised that we should be with another company and took us back to port where we eventually met the right guide. This should not have happened! Our rating based upon the initial mix up and not the qaulity of our eventual guide

Very small group as just myself and family so got 1-1 guide. Peter brilliant, kept information at right level to keep us all informed and interested. Ephesus was wonderful, but very very hot - make sure you take lots of water. Not sure about the visits after the trip, enjoyed the pottery but felt a little overwhelmed at the carpet manufacturere / sales! Decided not to do the lather shop as well. However this only small quibble as overlal was excellent value and good fun.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
