Ephesus is an amazing place to visit. The ruins are in such an amazing state of preservation and to be able to walk where those of the biblical times have was just indescribable. We hired a private tour guide (Denizhan P. through Tours by Locals) for the day. He greeted us at the airport and the journey began. It is... More

Denizhan provided our family and friends with a tour that educated and was fun for all. It would have been pointless to walk the streets of Ephesus without a tour guide since there are so many intricate stories. While it isn't possible to cover every detail of Ephesus in a day tour, Denizhan P. did a fantastic job of pointing... More

Many thanks to you for making our one day in Turkey a truly wonderful experience. Our every need was met with a smile and our expert guide Dennis was so well informed and personable. He has endless knowledge and great a sense of humor. The Mercedes Benz van was an excellent vehicle and very cool and comfortable. Five Stars More

This was one of the best tours I have every had. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. We not only learned about the sites he took us to see but we learned the culture. He answered all our questions and then some. I was a little concerned about being in Turkey but after the first minutes with this tour... More

We were on a cruise ship and arranged for Mesut Yilmaz (http://ephesusguides.com/) to meet us at the port in Kusadasi for a tour to Ephesus. He arranged for a very comfortable van to carry us both and our 2 friends. Guides in Turkey need to be licensed I understand and Mesut was very professional. He got us to the House... More

Denizen met our ship as arranged and had a lovely van waiting. He guided us through Ephesus and answered all our questions in an interesting way. We also had a tour of Sirince with a lunch in a restaurant where we were the only tourists. Denizen translated for us and helped with ordering. It was so much fun. More

We visited Turkey in late Sept of 2011 for two weeks. We visited 5 areas -- Istanbul, Cappadocia, Fethiye, Pamukalle and Ephesus. It was an amazing trip. Ertunga Ecir was our guide for only the last leg of the trip, but he coordinated the whole itinerary and arranged excellent guides for the other areas we visited as well. I would... More

My husband, teenage daughter, and I, visited Izmir per cruise ship. We were greeted by Orchun and a driver who took us tho the main sites. The van was very clean and comfortable. The information and sites were excellent. The visit to the carpet shop was interesting, but a sales pitch. Highly recommend this tour!! More

My husband and I were on a Mediterranean Cruise and one of the stops was Izmir/Ephesus, Turkey. Based on Denizhan's excellent Trip Advisor reviews, we decided to book him for a private tour rather than paying almost double for a cruise organized GROUP tour. I can say with confidence, it was the best decision we made. By having a personal... More
