We decided to do this tour instead of the cruise line excursion and it was so worth it. We were prompt to meet with Mr Alex which was a good thing because we beat the big bus tours. Our ride was comfortable and spacious and Mr Alex was great in sharing his knowledge about the tour. We also got a tour of the carpet weaving school which was a nice bonus. It was such a memorable trip for us. I will recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Great tour with a small group of people. Alex was fantastic - very knowledgeable and patient with us. As well as the tour we stopped at a leather factory and we spent way too much money on 2 jackets.

Take us to carpet shop without informing us. He did not get our agreement or permission and just took us to carpet store.

Our main goals were to visit the Virgin Marys house and see the ruins of the Basilica of St. John. Ephesus though was unbelievable. Our tour guide, Gonca, was so knowledgeable. She gave us as much time as we wanted in each place.
