  • 4Amazing tour

    Amazing ruins. Our Guide “ Rose” was a delight and so knowledgeable, which made our experience so memorable. Although we enjoyed the stop at the Turkish Rug school seeing & learning how these amazing rugs are handmade - we felt the pressure to purchase was too intense. This is the only negative thing about our day.

  • 5Are You an Ancient History Buff? Highly Recommend!

    Rose has been wonderful from start to finish! Very kind and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Ephesus and the various temples. She also surprised my sister and her husband with a cake to celebrate their anniversary. If I returned to Ephesus, I will definitely book her again! The whole experience was also very informative, while making sure we were cared for :) Lots of cats!

    Phenomenal tour! Got to see all the best of Ephesus and Rose was super educational and so friendly!! One of the best tour guides in the world we have had. She had the perfect combination of wonderful personality, educational information about the area and culture without it being too much talking, planned the duration/logistics nicely, and even taught us some Turkey!
