    We could not have enjoyed this tour more!! The care and consideration put in every step along the way was evident! My extended family, 13 of us from North Carolina, US (ages from 10-75) visited Ephesus/Kusadasi as a stop on our recent cruise. We reserved the private 8 hour tour. Prior to, any questions we had regarding the tour were quickly answered by Ismail. The day of, we were met right at the port by our guide Fatima. Let me tell you, she was INCREDIBLE!! She was so kind, knowledgeable, and friendly! We truly appreciated her openness in answering our many questions and in her willingness to share her culture with us. She kept even our younger members engaged during the tour of Ancient Ephesus (a feat in and of itself) and coordinated the best time when we could see the House of the Virgin Mary without heavy crowds. We had an amazing lunch with a huge, delicious spread in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. They even brought out additional items for a vegetarian family member when I forgot to coordinate this ahead of time. Fatima later took us to a 7th generation pottery shop and an authentic Turkish rug maker. These were out of the more touristy areas and you could tell the enhanced care and quality put into the items. Each were very welcoming and provided a demonstration for us. My sister even got to try her hand at making pottery! This company focuses on keeping things local. The best local guides, the best local restaurants and shops. Fatima, I cannot thank you enough. This was a highlight for my entire family, and we feel like we’ve made a new friend! Maybe we can visit again sometime 🙂

    Today was simply wonderful. Our tour guide, Fatma Kuşcu, from here in Ephesus is certainly a gift to the touring industry but also to humanity in general. Smart, funny, polite, flexible and fun. We talked about family, life in Turkey, the world, our/her views and travel. Fantastic English speaker as well. We saw and experienced the Ephesus Ruins, House of the Virgin Mary, St. John’s Basilica and tomb, the Temple of Artemis and more great local food. We were also privileged to meet Cengiz Icten, a nearly 50 year archeologist and historian in the Ephesus ruins.

    Fatima was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. . We enjoyed all parts of the day, especially a delicious local lunch.

    We really loved this tour and stepping back into history. Our guide Fatima was an excellent guide and incredibly accommodating. She took us to a local family restaurant for a delicious lunch where they made a very last minute change to the menu to accommodate some dietary restrictions.

    Great local guide who was waiting for us earlier than arranged,which was really helpful as we were then ahead of the huge tour groups from our ship.
    Very knowledgeable with a good pace around all the sites.
    Our guide, Hassan, gave us different lunch options, with us choosing a smaller venue meant we had a substantial lunch away from the crowds.
    Our small group also only consisted of our party of two which was a bonus.

    The best part of the tour was climbing to the top of the amphitheater. However there was not any part of the tour that was not amazing.

    What a fantastic tour we had in Ephesus. Thank you so much to our driver and guide(Fatima). They took good care of our special needs group and were a pleasure to be with.

    Fliz was the most beautiful amazing tour guide of all time. We had a group of 8 adults ranging from 21 to 54 and she had us all loving everything about Ephesus. We were from a cruise ship and she met us exactly on time with a great size mini bus which was very comfortable. Fliz spoke perfect English and her knowledge of our tour was outstanding. She had us all wanting to learn more. Everything about this tour was outstanding. Definitely book this tour and definitely ask for Fliz. I can’t wait to go to Turkey again.

    This was one of the easiest and reasonable priced tour I have ever booked. Our tour guide met us exactly where she said she would and was very informative from the off and gave us her best attention at all times. I can certainly recommend Fatima and Iglesias tour turkey for Best turkey tour.

    Our guide Ismail was excellent. Knowledgeable and patient. Driver and vehicle also top-notch. They don’t tell you a visit to the rug store is included. It meant we didn’t get to see Mary’s church. Wish I had inquired more specifically about timing.

  12. Cindee_W

    We appreciated all of our tour guide, Fatima’s knowledge and insight into the locations that we visited. Fatima and our driver adjusted our tour to avoid crowds while including everything we wanted to see.

  13. John_M

    Our guide Filiz was outstanding. She has a thorough knowledge of Turkish history and seemingly endless amount of information regarding Ephesus. She is an excellent communicator, has a good sense of humor and tailored the tour to best meet our needs. We absolutely recommend her.

  14. Michelle_L

    Fatma was fantastic! So knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. We weren’t sure how we’d like this port of call on our cruise ship but spending the day exploring with Fatma was a great way to spend the day! We highly recommend!

  15. Wendy_L

    Our tour guide was George I. He was very attentive to detail, took us to all the important places and took us to an amazing restaurant. He also brought us back to the cruise ship on time.
    Thank you!

    I booked this trip for 4 of us and it was perfect. This turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Nilgun, and our driver were friendly and professional. The limo van was clean and very comfortable. Nilgun was so knowledgeable about everything we asked her about from the flora to ancient history. She was just a delight and we could give her 10 stars. Our lunch was so much more than expected in a beautiful setting and an abundance of local dishes. The grilled chicken was outstanding. The rug factory tour was so interesting and much more than I expected. Don’t miss this! I highly recommend this tour and our guide, Nilgun.

  17. Glenn_H

    Fatima was friendly, flexible and informative. She did a great job. We saw Ephesus, Mary
    ‘s house and the ruins of the disciple Johns church.

  18. Sabrina_C

  19. Helen_C

    This your was a highlight of our cruise and Dee was an exceptional your guide. Not only was she knowledgeable and answered all of our questions but was able to make the trip enjoyable for all of us including 6 teens.

  20. RAUNAK_K

    This was an amazing experience, it was smooth from the beginning, got contacted after booking about meeting point and instructions. We were picked up by the port by Taylan. He was awesome! Very kind, patient and answered all of our questions, he took the time to show us and explain everything. We got to shop some. We got to see carpets being made, silk being extracted, and got a lovely lunch (we did have to pay separate for the lunch (10 euro) and all the tickets for the sites, fyi). Overall, highly recommend Taylan for this private tour!
