“We had a great day with Fatima. She was very knowledgeable and shared her passion for the history of the area. The ruins of Ephesus are truly amazing. We enjoyed a farm to table lunch and experienced the locals weaving rugs and toured an olive oil and pottery collective. I told her ahead of time we were not interested in purchasing a rug and they respected our wishes. They showed us several rugs but did not put the hard sell on us.”

“The guide -Dudu operated the tour as average standard, but I did not like being taken to a leather jacket shop, watching the fashion show with their overpriced jackets and designed brand products （？？）🧐 on sale at high price 😱 completely wasted our time. I did not mind if we spent time in market, at least we have chance to shop for souvenirs.”

“We booked this private tour in Kusadasi to visit Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis, and the House of Mary, with lunch included — and it turned out to be my favourite tour to date! First of all, the price was incredible for a private experience. Ephesus is truly a must-see — the history and architecture are awe-inspiring. The museum, with its virtual reality experience, was also incredible and brought the ancient world to life in a way I’ll never forget. The communication and updates from Viator and our guide, Ogulcan (John), before and during the trip were amazing — they responded right away to any questions and made everything so…”
