Our transportation and tour guide were very professional. They were waiting for us at the port as planned and the tour through Ephesus was excellent with the guide giving us lots of interesting local and historical information. It included a tour of the Terrace Houses and we were very glad to be able to see these amazing archeological finds. These are a definite "must see" if you go to Ephesus. At the end of the tour, the guide offered our group the option of seeing a local pottery and carpet making demonstration. At both stops there was encouragement to buy the local products. In particular, the carpet salespeople were quite high pressure. In retrospect, we think the tour would have been better without these final stops. That is why I rated our experience a "4" instead of a "5".

The trip was excellent. Ty met us at the port and we travelled in a top notch Sprinter van with driver to Ephesus where Ty guided us through the old city. It is muich more than any of the on line photos indicate. We visited Mary's house and a Turkish carpet cooperative and learned a lot about how they are made wilth no pressure to buy. Was well worth the money spent.

We were very lucky that there were only 4 of us in this the Small Group Tour which meant our tour was very personalised and it was quick and easy to move through the various stops of the House of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis. Organisation of the tour online was easy with no hidden costs except a small extra charge for being picked up at the port and we got plenty of e-mail reminders. We were met at the Port Gate by a representative and directed directly to our guide.The tour was on time and met us at the dock where our ship was berthed with a sign with our names on. It was considerably less expensive and much more detailed than the excursion offered by our cruise line. Our guide, Melih was outstanding and spoke English extremely well. He gave us so much information about the places we visited, gave us plenty of time at the popular spots and showed us where to stand to get the best photos. We had been to Ephesus before many years ago but learned so much more this time with him as our guide and enjoyed it so much more too. We started the tour at the House of Mary and then moved on to Ephesus where we walked down the site and the tour ticket included the entrance to all of the site including the Terrace Houses which not all tours do. Melih guided us through these as well and they really should not be missed. Our excellent driver picked us up at the bottom of the site and we then went to the Temple of Artemis, of which only one pillar remains. Melih explained how it had looked with a picture and overlay which did help give a sense of the importance of the site. We were then asked if we would like to go to a carpet making workshop, a ceramic factory, a jewellery store or a leather factory. We went to a ceramic store and saw pots being made and painted. The pots were beautiful and we would have bought some had our luggage allowance not already been exceeded but our host was very charming and not at all pushy. Considering that this was almost a private tour for the 4 of us, all the fees were included and we had excellent transport in a van to the sites we considered this tour was excellent value for money.

The shore excursion was great value for money. Our tour guide studied in Melbourne and his command of English was excellent. His commentary made the Ephesus ruins come to life and we also really enjoyed his commentary on Turkey and the various ethnic groups that call Turkey home. We even enjoyed visiting two shops selling high end leather jackets and hand made carpets.

This was a great tour. Our guide Tunc [pronounced Toonch], was knowledgeable and organized. His enthusiasm made the history even more memorable. Ephesus is an amazing place to visit, we also went to the Virgin Mary House and the Terrace houses. The terrace houses had the added bonus of mosaic floors, and frescoes. This was a small group tour and that made it even better.

Excellent tour
Met at 8.30am so we were well ahead of the crowds and there was no one at the house of the Virgin Mary, it was so peaceful. The guide was very good and led us down the hill towards the library and we could avoid the crowds of other tourists. We went to the terraced houses which most of the other tours missed and saw the mosaics and frescoes which was very interesting.
Certainly the highlight of our cruise to Turkey and Greece

This tour was excellent and good value for money. We had a knowlegable, helpful and friendly guide, who made the tour of Ephesus informative and enjoyable. transoprt was comfotsble and clean with an good driver.
There was no pressure to go on to a 'shopping experience', as frequently happens in Turkey, but when we asked his advice for a particular product he offered a variety of outlets and gave his opinions without pressure. We did take his advice and all came home with new leather jackets!!
I cannot recommend Tas and his Company highly enough.

We had an almost private tour with only one other couple joining us. The tour guide was very well informed and articulate. The tour of the Ephesus excavation was amazing - HUGE- indoor plumbing over 2000 years ago! The terrace houses were another must see as well as a visit to the Virgin Mary's house. The carpet display, although very interesting, created too much pressure to purchase in a hurry as there was little time before we had to get back to our cruise ship.

we loved our trip to Ephesus and our tour guide.it was a small group of 8 people which made it nice. all of these people were on our cruise ship also and we made friends. the tour guide Aysenur was so knowledgeable and provide a great overview of the area and of the historical significance of Ephesus and Mary's house. I would highly recommend this tour and Aysenur did a great job. we were also taken to a pottery shop to learn about the process of the making of pottery and plates. we also got to see a demonstration of how they make silk carpets. we had no intention to purchase and did not purchase. the tour guide told us also there was no obligation and there was no pressure. we did get the opportunity to witness how these things were made and we were glad we did. please accept the tea, coffee or Raki that they offer in these shops. there is no obligation to buy , this is their way to show hospitality.
