Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary were interesting, but the rest of the tour consisted of a drive by of the Temple of Artemis, now a single column in a field, lunch, and then about 2.5 hours devoted to visiting a rug and ceramic shop that applied the cruise ship sales technique. We did get a chance to spend about an hour in a local port city to kill time as well. The tour could have visited museums or taken us to other sites, but wasted time on rugs and pottery. The guide was visibly annoyed when my wife asked her why we were visiting the rug factory (commission ?). Overall, a bit light on antiquity but an interesting trip.

We highly recommend this excursion. Fatima, our guide, was amazing. She adjusted the tour to meet our interests, was very knowledgeable, and very friendly and helpful. Saw some amazing sights, ate great food, and learned a lot. Timing was military-like in precision, so we never worried about making our flight.

Exceptional tour! The tour company took care of everything from booking airport transfers to flights and everything to do with the tour. It was hassle-free and perfect for my son and I. Fatima is an excellent guide- she’s informative, helpful, accommodating and has a great cheerful personality. The sites we went to were spectacular, the traditional food was great and we got to do some shopping as well. Thank you for a memorable day!

This trip met all of our expectations for the day. On time pickup at our hotel in Sultanahmet, prompt pickup in Izmir, English speaking guide, and we saw everything we could want! Fatima was fantastic, truly knew the area well and also helped avoid the large groups by moving the day’s activities around a bit based on what she knew. Well worth the time and money to have this private tour versus doing it solo or as part of a large group.

It was a great trip to Ephesus conducted by tour operator Iglesias Turkey Tours. Tour guide Fatima was friendly snd personable. She is also extremely knowledgeable both in historical and biblical aspects of Ephesus. You can ask any question and she will try her best to explain to you. If she doesn’t know, she will also let you know. My wife and I were picked up at our hotel in Karakoy, Turkey at 4:20 am. The driver sent by the tour company was on time and on the dot. He was professional , greeted us and immediately drove us to the airport to catch the flight to city of Izmir. It was a domestic flight and the plane took off on schedule. On arrival at Izmir, we were greeted by the company’’s driver at the airport and driven to Ephesus where we were greeted by tour guide Fatima. Everything was so well organized and planned ahead like you would see in the movie Mission Impossible. I kid you not. The other thing I failed to mention and I think is very important especially traveling in a foreign country where English is not widely spoken or understood, is clear communication. By this I meant, you want to know what is going on and what to expect. Well, with your operator Iglesias Turkey Tours, Ismail Kuscus and Fatima were always very accessible and they stayed in close contact, through emails or WhatsApp or whatever social media platform you happened to be using. You can ask them any questions about the trip ahead or questions about the itinerary, they will respond quickly. The only regret I had about the Ephesus trip was the very hot and humid weather. I am from California and I know what hot weather is like. Of course, it’s not the tour operators fault. It’s beyond their control. If I were to do it again, I would choose a much cooler or milder weather. Check the weather forecast way ahead of time before you buy your airplane ticket. Just my suggestion.

I greatly enjoyed my trip to Ephesus. I was well taken care of and I had a good time. My guide Fatima did an excellent job. She was informative and spoke excellent English. I wish I had more time to walk around Ephesus instead of visiting Mary’s house. I also wish I could have visited the Ephesus Museum and had a closer look at the Church of Saint John. But lunch was delicious. I hope to return one day.

Since I have visited many Roman ruins in Israel, those of Ephesus did not “wow” me as they did for my friend, but I’m still glad we made this side trip. It would have been helpful to have a driver who could explain the local geography, features and culture of the area as we travelled from the airport. At one point our driver had to brake suddenly to avoid an accident and my friend was flung from her seat. The driver didn’t notice or apologize. For me the highlight was the traditional Turkish cuisine at a local restaurant and learning about our guide’s life in rural Turkiye. Our guide was lovely but did not stay with us to the end of the tour of Ephesus.While it was interesting to learn about carpet making, I felt uncomfortable with the pressure to purchase rugs. Overall the experience was good but could be improved.

The tour operator arranged everything in great detail. Everything was on time and flowed smoothly. Once we got close to Ephesus our guide Fatima joined us. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the area. She also was able to give us insight on Turkish culture and traditions. We were able to decide how much time we wanted to spend at each location. The lunch place that was included on the tour with traditional Turkish dishes was really good. Definitely would recommend this tour.
