Excellent tour to Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary

Booked this tour with smart turkey and all communication at the booking was good and prompt replies. Easy to book and customize your tour. Our guide was Metin who was so knowledgeable and informed us of all places we visited and the history behind it. Very accommodating and also helped with taking our pictures along the way. Would highly recommend this company. Also the van was super comfortable and luxurious.

Gokham is the best guide.

Gokhan was our tour guide for the entire 6+ hours and he was one of the most gracious, hospitable and knowledgeable guides we have had in over 30 years of international travel. He answered candidly our side questions about the government, economy and the residents’ level of happiness. His historical knowledge of the Ephesus ruins was comprehensive and fascinating. We ended up buying several hand woven wool carpets from a local, family business far from the tourist center. Gokham is the best!

Great private Ephesus and more tour!

My family of 5 (myself, husband and our children 21, 19 and 16) all had a wonderful private tour on our port day in Kusadasi. Our guide Serdar was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging for our entire day. Our driver (I forget his name) was a great driver, keeping us on time and navigating the roads smoothly. Serdar was proactive, checked the internet and noted there was only a few people at the House of the Virgin Mary so he took us there first. We had no wait at this beautiful, peaceful place. Then we went to Ephesus where Serdar toured with us, explaining everything, finding shade (it was nearly 100°!) where he could. After he took us to the rug factory for a delicious traditional Turkish lunch. I am vegan and they brought out special dishes just for me. After lunch, we watched the rug weaving demonstration and saw the final results. The store obviously would like us to purchase a rug but we weren't pressured at all. Finally we visited the Temple of Artemis before Serdar brought us back to the port in plenty of time before we needed to board the cruise again. We had time to shop and get ice cream which was a great end to our day. I definitely recommend this tour, especially with Serdar!

Great personalized experience

We had a great day with Ercument. It was so nice to get out of the port and see a little bit more of Turkey. Ephesus is an incredible place. Ercument was very accommodating and listened to what we wanted to do to make it fun for everyone.
