    The day tour was fantastic and well timed. The tour guide supplied us with enough but not too much information. We had a lovely group of 13 pax in the day. Ephesus ancient city was an incredible and memorable day trip.

  2. Noorul

    Mert is an excellent tour guide with significant knowledge of the ancient city of Ephesus, personality, and the ability to keep his group on track. Visit the ancient city of Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary has been on our to-do list for a while and our tour guide did not disappoint. We are very happy to have him in the group as our Ephesus daily tour guide, who will teach us and guide us through a magnificent historical and archaeological adventure. It was a great experience in Ephesus ruins.

    My wife and I booked this tour last week and it was truly an amazing experience to see the ancient ruins and different sites. Our tour guide Josh was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic during the tour. It is a long day from Istanbul and back, but we were so happy we did it.

  4. Xinyue

    Last month had the pleasure of taking a day trip from Istanbul to visit the Virgin Mary House, Ephesus Ancient City, and Artemis Temple, and it was truly an incredible experience. The journey to Ephesus was a little long, but the beautiful countryside views along the way made it well worth the trip. Once we arrived, we were immediately taken aback by the stunning ancient city of Ephesus, which was one of the largest and wealthiest cities of the ancient world. The ruins and historical landmarks were fascinating, and we learned so much about the history of this remarkable city. We also visited the House of the Virgin Mary, a Christian pilgrimage site believed to be the final resting place of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the house was truly moving, and we were amazed by the beauty of the site. Our final stop was the Artemis Temple, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although little of the temple remains today, we were still amazed by its historical significance and the stories of its grandeur. Throughout the day, our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to answer any questions we had. The tour was well-organized, and we had ample time to explore the sites and take in the stunning scenery. Overall, I would highly recommend the Ephesus day trip from Istanbul to anyone interested in exploring the rich history and cultural significance of Turkey. The tour was well worth the journey, and the sights and experiences were truly unforgettable.
