Hi Svetlana! We just would like to say thank
you one more time for the great Ephesus tour
we had last week. Our guide Selin was very
nice, knowledgeable, spent the whole day
with us, we managed to see all the sights we
were planning to see: Mary's House, Basilica
of St. John, Artemis Temple, the ruins of
Ephesus (the atmosphere of the city is so
magnificent that we certainly will com back
again). By the way the lunch was also very
good.
We can recommend your company to everybody,
and we will also write a review of our
Ephesus tour on Tripadvisor for those who is
planning a private Ephesus tour.

It was our first time in Kusadasi and Turkey
in general. We had our 30th wedding
anniversary and I decided to make a surprise
for my wife. I arranged the tour with your
company and would like to thank you for it.
Our guide Ebru was nice, always smiling and
knowledgeable. We managed to see Ephesus,
Mary House, the Basilica of St. John. At
least we asked her to bring us to the
Sirince village, we spent there some hours
visiting the old church and mosque, having a
delicious lunch, besides we bought some
bottles of fruit wines there. We had a great
day, my wife and me will recommend your
company to everybody!

For our stop in Izmir we booked a private
Ephesus tour with Online Ephesus Travel and
were very happy we did! Our trip was to
Ephesus city, House of Virgin Mary, St. John
Basilica and Isa Bey Mosque. We were 5. Our
guide Selin picked up us on time, she was
very friendly, informative spoke English
fluently. We also had a lunch in a nice
restaurant with garden on the way back to
the port. We were not dusturbed and avoided
big groups everywhere. Thank you for the
great tour!
Excellent trip! It was so nice for us to get
off the ship and have a private car waiting
for us with our personal guide! We got the
tour at half the price of the cruise trips
besides we did not have to wait for people
to load on a bus. We managed to see
everything, the Basilica was great and the
lunch was fantastic. Our guide Kenan was a
super one and very knowledgeable. I would
definitely recommend this tour company to
everybody!
Dear Hamza and your team Online Ephesus
Travel,
Thanks again for the nice trip! We are
satisfied with our Anatolia tour as well as
we were last year on our trip to Ephesus. By
the way we found the update of your web site
very useful, now it it easy to search and
find the necessary information about hotels,
tours whatever.
We'll stay in contact!

I just want to say thank you for the nice
tour of Ephesus we had some days ago. The
agency, guide, car and the tour were perfect
and were even over our expectations. I must
say it was one of the best land excursion we
went on during our 11-day Mediterranean
cruise. Moreover the price was really good.

Thank you a lot, we had a great tour to
Ephesus last day. We are a group of 20
persons having arrived to Izmir with MSC
Mangifica. As we had only 6 hours time (you
need about 2,5 hours for the way there and
back), we wanted to see only the Basilica of
St. John, House of Virgin Mary, Seven
sleepers cave and the heap trash around
Ephesus which is not visited so much as far
as I know. We managed to visit everything in
the limited time, our guide Nuri was super!
We really enjoyed every sight together with
him and we highly recommend to everyone
visiting these great places in Ephesus and
thank you for professional tour arrangement.
Hi! I just want to thank you for the perfect
arrangement of our tour. Last year we were
on the cruise and had a tour to Ephesusm
thus coming this year again to Kusadasi we
decided to see something else. Due to your
recommendation we chose Priene Milet and
Didyma tour. We really had a great day! We
were only 5, 6 with our guide Kenan. He was
punctual, flexible in the tour, we wanted to
stay more at the Apollon Temple in Didyma.
Besides his English was good and he was so
nice spending the whole day with us.
Thank you again! We are planning to com
enext year, this time by plane, I will
contact you again for other travel
arrangements!

I just got back from a Mediterranean cruise
together with my family. This time we had a
chance to visit Ephesus - a wonderful city!
We used Online Ephesus Travel who were
really great. They picked us up from the
Kusadasi port and organized the whole trip
according to what we wanted to see there. We
managed to see Ephesus and its museum, we
also visited hamam and the beautiful village
of Sirince. They were very helpful and
organized everything with our ship's arrival
time, thus we had a fantastic day in
Kusadasi.
Highly recommended to everybody!
Thank you again!
P.S. your new web site is great!
Dear Svetlana,
Thank you again for the perfect tour! My
family and me were extremely happy
especially with our guide Selin. We
recommend Online Ephesus Travel to everyone
for your travel arrangements in Ephesus and
around it..

Though I was short of time arriving from
Izmir, I had a very well arranged Ephesus
tour, the guide came on time to the airport,
the way to Ephesus was easy and comfortable.
The guide spoke English perfectly and was
very knowledgeable. Thank you again.
Dear Svetlana,
Hello from Cyprus. I would like to thank you
once more for the excellent tours you
arranged for us in both Ephesus and
Istanbul. I would like to make a special
mention to our tour guide for Ephesus, Omer
Yildiz, who was just perfect! Knowledgeable,
pleasant, well informed, and made in every
way our tour to Ephesus something to
remember.
Regards,
Akis

Dear Online Ephesus Travel
We recently returned from a Cruise in the
Black Sea and had arranged for a tour to
Mary's House and St. John's Basilica with
your company for
September 9 when our ship, Nautica, of
Oceania Cruises was in port. We were very
pleased with the arrangements and the guide.
Unfortunately, I cannot recall the young
man's name. But we were able to see what we
wanted without being rushed.
Thank you for your professional business. We
will be happy to recommend
your company to any friends who might be
going to that area.
Sincerely,
I want to tell you that I am very satisfied
with the tour we had on june9.
Unfortunately, the French guide was ill the
day of the tour. Omer kindly accepted to
replace him. He was attention ate in talking
slowly and giving us the more pertinent
information as possible. We really
appreciated. Thanks to you and specially to
Omer.
We were 4 in the private Ephesus tour
arranged by Online Ephesus Travel. Ephesus
is a fantastic place, besides our guide Omer
was one of the best we had during our
cruise: very knowledgeable, nice, he was
making a lot of jokes and telling us stories
and legends about Ephesus, and we enjoyed
our time with him!
Good tour program, wonderful tour guide and
tasty lunch - thank you a lot!

I just would like to thank you for the
brilliant tour arranged by your agency. We
had already had Ephesus tour with you 4
years ago, in 2006, and nothing changed
regarding the services: always on time, well
organized, friendly and knowledgeable guide
and of course affordable prices. This time
we have had Biblical Sites in Turkey tour
and could visit some places in Turkey
relating to Bible: Pergamum, Sardis,
Pamukkale, Laodicea etc. We enjoyed it very
much, thank you again and hope to see you
later!

It was our first visit to Ephesus and Turkey
in general and we were not disappointed at
all, picked up on time we proceeded to
Ephesus - a mysterious city, especially do
not miss Terraces Houses with their
beautiful mosaics! We also visited Ephesus
museum located in Selcuk, I was excited
seeing the Artemis cult statue there! Our
guide was with us during the whole tour,
explaining to us everything in details. It
was a great experience for us, thank you a
lot, we will recommend you to our friends
going there next year!

We booked the Ephesus tour with Online
Ephesus Travel (we came with Brilliance of
the sea to the Kusadasi port). Our guide
Emel was wonderful. We had a fantastic tour
with her visiting the historic sites of
Ephesus. Online Ephesus Travel has been
recommended by others in some forums and
that is how we found out about this company.
We just want to add our praise and thanks
them for wonderful tour and excellent
organization!
We wanted to see some places not stated in
the programs of regular tours, so they
arranged it for us: we visited the church
and house of virgin Mary, the seven sleepers
cave, the St. john basilica, then we had a
very nice lunch in a lovely village, in
Sirince! I recommend this company to
everybody!!

We had a wonderful guide in Ephesus. We
returned some days ago from a cruise and we
made a stop in Kusadasi. Our guide picked us
up at the port and we drived in a air
conditioned van with a private driver to
Ephesus. There were 4 in our party but the
van would have held 10 to 12 people. The
drive is about 30 minutes from Kusadasi to
Ephesus and we were given a lot of
historical information along the way. The
guide was Emel, and she was very
knowledgeable and easy to communicate with.
We made stops at Mary's House, The St. John
Basilica, The temple of Artemis, and the
ruins of Ephesus. The Terrace Houses are
also a stop that you can add to your
itinerary. All entrance fees were included.
She provided a wonderful lunch at a nice
restaurant and we liked it so much. We spent
the entire day (about 7 hours) with our
driver and guide and had a pretty day at
that stop in Turkey.
Thank you for your services, attention and
help! I recommend you to everybody!
We had a wonderful time and would love to go
back someday!
We have returned from a cruise holiday some
days ago, one of our stops was Kusadasi
-located not far away from the ancient ruins
of Ephesus. We contacted through Internet
Online Ephesus Travel, got the answer very
soon and were impressed with their
flexibility and prices. We were brought to
the sights we wanted and did not have to
follow the fixed tour program as many of
excursions seem to be. Our guide was very
nice, friendly, very knowledgeable. We made
stops at Mary's House, The Cathedral of St.
John, The temple of Artemis, and the ruins
of Ephesus. All entrance fees were included.
We spent the entire day with our guide and
had a lovely day. We highly recommend Online
Ephesus Travel team.
Thank you very much!

I recommend Ephesus tour definitely to
everybody! Ephesus is an ancient city, It
was one of the best protected ancient cities
of western Asia. It become an important
tourism center because it is a holy place to
visit for Christianity. In the first year of
Christianity, St. Paul and St. John (Hojanna)
came here and wrote the Bible here. Ephesus
was the most famous city in Western Anatolia
in the Ionian period because the Virgin Mary
lived here in her last years. The bible was
written here, council meetings were held
three times and the first 7 churches were
established here. Next year we will do the 7
Churches tour here! Thank you a lot to our
guide!

The Ephesus tour is really amazing. One of
the things that was really important to me
was to connect the places we visited to
events that take place in the Bible. In the
book of Acts it is written about an event in
Ephesus. It describes a situation where a
crowd of people filled the stadium and
started crying that Artemis was the great
Ephesus god. I was right where this event
took place! Besides we had a perfect guide
very knowledgeable in religion and history!
Thank you a lot for the tour! It was great,
we will be back next year.

This is an extremely well preserved Greek
and Roman port city. In my view, this is
better than anything in Rome because it is
so complete with all aspects of life in
their times. Do not miss the Celsius
Library. On a practical note, it takes two
to three hours to see the site. You will get
the most out of it if you use a guide since
they will tell you about the aspects of
daily life. The site is not shaded and it is
hot. Go early (light's better for photos
anyway), wear a sunhat, and carry water. No
restrooms once you enter. It is a popular
tourist spot, so I suggest you go here first
and then drive the short distance to the
House of Virgin Mary. Shaded and quieter,
it's a good place to reflect on what you've
seen. Thanks for everything.. We will come
back again very soon... We highly recommend
online Ephesus travel site for Ephesus
booking..
A well organized Ephesus tour. A trip that
would have been very difficult to organize
by ourselves. We had a fantastic, very
informative guide, who was easy to get on
with. A great insight into Turkey. Thanks
for everything.
