Tugrul Sezgin was a wonderful guide. He brought Ephesus to life. The ruins were stunning, as was Mary's house and the Basilica of St. John. He was incredibly sensitive to our needs as older tourists. He showed us great shopping spots and shared a lovely lunch with us. He was delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed his guidance and his love of Turkey. We were very grateful for his help.

This is a great company, and owner/guide Volkan is the best tour guide I have ever seen. While giving information about places we visited, he made us feel like we were there for thousands of years ago! Great experience, highly recommended it! K.A. Washington DC / US

Volkan’s passion for history was amazing—he clearly loved sharing insights on Turkish and overall Mediterranean history with us. He gave us great recommendations of places to go and things to see and gave us some great restaurant recommendations! A friendly, helpful, insightful guide you’ll enjoy traveling with. Highly recommend.

Vulcan was our fantastic tour guide. We had an entire day of private touring with him and had the best experience. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We had plenty of time to see all the major attractions along with a great lunch stop. He even took great photos for us at major stops. The best tour we have taken. Would highly recommend this tour.

Our tour of Ephesus and Sirince was perfectly planned and thoughtfully organized. We avoided all of the lines while seeing everything that we wanted to see. We were very thankful to have done the tour with our guide as she was very knowledgeable about the history but also the area, so she made sure we avoided most of the heat, crowds, and other time wasters. Definitely the best tour we had in Turkey.

We were so pleasantly surprised and pleased with the entire Viator Guided Tour experience with Tuba! A lovely like new Mercedes van and driver and the most enthusiastic knowledgeable guide we could have enjoyed! Her command of English and other languages inc Japanese proves her professional commitment to sharing the significant importance of Euphesus and the area…and she is most fun! Thank you Tuba for bringing the history to life!

This was my first time in Turkey and was nerves about not booking though the cruise ship and booking my own tour. I am so glad I picked Hello Ephesus! It started with their knowledgeable staff who answered all my emails quickly. When the cruise changed port day, they were quick to reply that it was not a problem to switch days. But the best part was our amazing tour guide, Tugrul Sezgin! He is very knowledgeable about Ephesus, the area and Turkey itself. He made it the best tour I have ever been on. Because of him, we will defiantly visit Turkey again.

This tour included the terrace houses, something that is great to see and that most ship tours did not include. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The included lunch was nothing special and we could have skipped the carpet factory. Otherwise, it was great

Ich hatte die Tour in deutsch gebucht, doch leider bekam ich am Abend eine Nachricht vom Veranstalter, über eine Stornierung, da gerade kein deutscher Guide zur Verfügung stünde. Panisch, dass ich die Tour nun gar nicht mehr antreten kann, schrieb ich, dass ich gern auch in englisch teilnehmen würde. Tatsächlich war der Veranstalter extrem kommunikativ und am Ende bekam ich die Betätigung für die Gruppentour, auf englisch, am nächsten Morgen. Wir hatten riesiges Glück Chad, den halb türkischen halb australischen Guide, treffen zu dürfen!! Wir haben eine unfassbar spannende PRIVATführung erhalten, Chad ist ein sehr entspannter, toller Mensch und hat super interssant erklärt und wir haben beim inkludierten Essen tolle intensive Gespräche geführt! Am Ende haben wir gut 7 statt 4 Stunden zusammen verbracht und einen wirklich unvergesslichen Tag erlebt!! Wir können Chat jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen!!
