WHAT OUR FANTASTIC GUESTS SAY!

  • ''Best Choice''

    I Knew I was going to enjoy my tour in Ephesus. However, Azis’ knowledge and enthusiasm for Ephesus enhanced my experience and made it a special tour. I unreservedly recommend Ephesus Tours by Locals as your tour operator for Ephesus and around. Real value for money and definitely recommended.

  • “Totally Recommended”

    We saw and did a whole lot of amazing things while on our trip to Ephesus. This, by far, was the most purely fun activity on our cruise. My back was really bad so we did the short Ephesus tour but it was still really fun. We would definitely do a longer trip next time (we only did 2.5 hours). I could have done a full day and not gotten tired of the experience. Guide was really nice and the group was nice and small.

  • ''Good Value''

    The organization was excellent, the itinerary was full and very complete, the food was outstanding, the guide was wonderful. Regarding the best part: "The guide, Aylin, and the people with us, the size of the group, well planned and carried out, both fun and fascinating." Regarding the worst part: "Can't think of any worst part. Also I even don't mention how cheaper it was compared to cruise's tours.
