Erman was an amazing guide! He was incredibly kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable about every part of our tour. We learned so much and had such a great experience. Our driver also made us feel very safe throughout the trip. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly — we had an absolutely wonderful time! Thank you Erman

Amazing day - you must visit Ephesus!
I can’t recommend this enough. Our guide nazim was fabulous, hugely knowledgeable and interesting. We were driven around in a very luxurious vehicle, and literally educated on all things! Ephesus was fascinating, and great to have a private guide. No need to wait around for others. We were then taken for a great lunch in an idyllic setting, and was very interested to see how the rugs are made. We also had time to pop in (at my request - wasn’t forced on us as other tours can do) to a leather factory and I got an amazing jacket and bag. A great day, good communication ahead of the tour too. We were on a cruise and in port for the day, from 7-3, pick up was prompt and we were back at the ship with plenty of time. Highly recommended

From start to finish we had a lovely day. The pick up was very clear and well organised. Our guide, (Selena) was friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely receptive to our wishes. Our driver even made an unexpected stop on the way back to enable us to buy gifts. Thank you both.

Great Tour of Ephesus
Wonderful full day tour from Kusadasi to Ephesus. Our tour guide Mel and driver Mehmet were very flexible in terms of our pickup, and allowed us to get the most out of the time we had. Melike was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her town, and we understand far more about the entire area and history than we did after our first time there. Thanks Mel….we really enjoyed the day

Enjoyable experience even on first rainy day of Summer. Serdar, our local guide was knowledgeable in the history of the House of Virgin Mary and Ephesus. He very polite & genuine & brought the visit to life for us. No pressure even after we attended a carpet demonstration later which was interesting!

Erman was very knowledgeable about the history and shared lots of stories with us. Our group was half Spanish-speaking half English-speaking and he flawlessly covered the tour in both languages. He was very informative about the scchedule, too. Great tour!

Highly recommend! A beautiful tour
This was a moving experience for me beginning with the House of Mary. It is the reason I came to Izmir and I was not disappointed. Booking with Cool Destinations gave me the best rate. I was very lucky and grateful my hotel was one they offered as a pickup place. It was a long day and I feel I got more out of it than I paid for. I was picked up at 7:30 and got back to the hotel at 5:00 pm. The van was extremely comfortable and was completely full. As a solo traveler it was nice to spend the day with 15 other people with the similar interests. Our guide was fantastic, she was patient with divers group, she made the trip fun and was very accommodating. Not to mention extremely knowledgeable about all that we visited this memorable day.

Excellent tour with our guide Alphe
Our tour guide Alphe was phenomenal. He was very personable, friendly, and his English seems like it’s on a native level. He’s very easy to understand and speaks loud enough that you can hear him. He is very knowledgeable about history and I really appreciated the abundance of information he gave us on our tour. I can’t say enough good things about him as a guide and I’ve done a lot of tours over the years with guides. The tour itself was great too. I enjoyed all the stops we did and felt we had enough time at each location. The buffett lunch was delicious too. I also was glad we stopped at a gas station on the drive to use the toilet.
