    Learned history of Ephesus from interesting knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed excursion was worth it.

  2. Susan J

    Excellent in all aspects. the guide, Al, was incredible – his knowledge was first class and his approach very professional. The itinerary was perfectly planned – St John’s Basilica, Ephesus and Mary’s house – enough time in each without overstretching it. Lunch was provided and was a delicious classic Turkish meal. We were dreading the carpet factory but it was different to the rest we’ve been to – no pressure, full of interesting information and time to browse. Would definitely use again.

    This tour was better than we could have ever expected. It ended up being a private tour with the guide and the two of us in a new Mercedes minibus. Our guide actually studied archaeology in college and worked for several years as an archaeologist at the Ephesus site. In addition to being a really nice guy he was obviously very knowledgeable about the site. We had a nice free lunch at an open air restaurant and then visited a carpet weaving site. It was very intereswting and they gave us no pressure to buy anything. This was the absolute best tour!

    Excellent guide . Well versed in the area history . Glad we wore good walking shoes. Went to a rug factory , and had a good meal included. learned a lot about rug making . Not pushed into buying .We really enjoyed the tour , lot of exercise that the guide at a slower pace to allow for the age of some of the people in the tour.

    Pros:
    – Personable, knowledgeable guide.
    – Excellent lunch at carpet school.
    – lunch and admission tix included in price.
    Cons:
    – Wasn’t a big fan of being pitched Turkish carpets on a tour I paid for.
    Tour was more like 5-1/2 hours rather than 8, but it covered everything in the description.

    The tour was very interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable but being forced to go to a rug factory and not being able to escape a hard sell was annoying at best and should not be included on this tour. Also could have lived without the leather store too. Tour details did not include these stops.

    This was by far the best tour we took during our 24 day cruise on the Mediterranean. Mustafi met us at the port and we literally had a private tour of the sites. Thank you aviator … And mustard for the most memorable day of our trip! BIll and Wendy

    Ephesus was a surprisingly wonderful archeological site. Ismail, our guide, is an archeologist made it even better!!! We were also fortunate to have a private tour. So much more personal. Virgin Mary’s house was a spiritual experience. We had a delicious lunch at Turkmen carpets and a demo.

    We enjoyed the tour. Ephesus is amazing. I recommend taking a small umbrella for shade if the weather is hot and sunny. Dress in light clothing. We visited places where rugs and are made and sold. I enjoyed it but some tour members were not interested in buying and did not like this part of the tour

    Lovely experience- great driver and guide. The political situation in Turkey is so sad- they would not discuss this situation but were so thankful that we visited. Other passengers were late due to a connection issue- but started our tour- then joined group- redid the first part of the tour for the second group and got us other transportation back to the port. GREAT SERVICE- I want to go back to TURKEY

    The woman who was our guide was excellent…unfortunately we have lost her name. She made the entire tour an incredible success. She was with Neon Tours and just made it a wonderful experience. We are trying to find her name so that we can also add to Trip Advisor etc.

  16. Eric_S

    We were assigned to Neon tours. Our tour was excellent as was our guide. The included lunch was superb and an excellent representation of the country’s food. This tour was a pleasant surprise because we almost skipped leaving the ship n Turkey. We are so glad we did not. A do not miss!!

  17. Gail_J

    Cigdem is an excellent tour guide. She was easy to find getting off the ship and arrived early. Cigdem was very good at explaining a lot of information and was very warm and nice to everyone. I really had a good time on this tour. Her English was clear and easy to understand. The lunch was amazing as well.
    Thank you Cigdem for a wonderful day!

    Awesome tour. I have actually done it twice–on two different trips–and loved it both times. Highly recommend this!

  19. Francis G

    Fantastic tour! Very informative and thorough. Highly recommended.

  20. Roger M

    We had a very competent tour guide which helped explain the history of the area. We saw amazing ruins and realized how advanced the ancient people and city was. We found Western Turkey to be a beautiful country with lovely people. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and experience Turkish coffee and the history of their rug making.
