Top Aegean Coast Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises

* A traveler said: "Thus tour was perfect, from the comfortable vehicle to the very buoyant guide. We were met at the cruise port and our guide suggested we leave immediately for Ephesus to avoid the crowds. She gave us a great private tour of Ephesus, took us to the House of Mary and the Temple of Artemis. We were also asked to be taken to a leather outlet where we were treated to a fashion show. Very informative and no pressure to buy. Our guide was disappointed that we wanted to return early, but we were all a bit tired. She suggested several different options and was genuinely disappointed that we called it a day. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great tour from the cruise port."

Highly recommended."

* A traveler said: "I was traveling to Turkey for the first time and wanted to learn more about Izmir's local attractions like Ephesus, The house of the Virgin Mary, and the Temple of Artemis. It was a private tour and they pick me up from my hotel. Ozge was a great guide and fun to hang out with. She was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories for each site. It was very hot day so having AC in a van, plus umbrellas to protect you from the sun was very nice. The tour ended with a lunch and optional tour of how Turkey makes carpets. Even if you don't buy anything, it's fun to watch. I recommend this tour."

* A traveler said: "While our cruise ship was docked in Kusadasi, Turkey, we had a private tour of Ephesus, the home of the Virgin Mary and several other sites in the area. Our guide was Aysa, who was very knowledgeable about the area and was very friendly. It was so helpful to have Aysa walking right next to us thru the crowded Ephesus area and explaining the various sites. This was much easier than being in a large group and trying to keep track of the guide. We also visited the ruins of the Temple of Artemis and the church of St John, and visited a mosque. We had a typical Turkish lunch at an outdoor restaurant and visited the Ephesus Museum in Selcuk before going back to the ship. It was a great full-day excursion with a great guide. We highly recommend this especially with Aysa."
