We had a great day with Denizhan. He highly personalized our day with side visits to local artisans, arranged transportation from the Izmir airport, and was incredibly knowledgeable on all things Ephesus, ancient Roman, Greek and Turkish. I would not hesitate at all to hire him again!

Denizhan is a wonderful tour guide! He is so knowledgeable about Ephesus. We also enjoyed our visit to Sirince and the local spot he recommended for lunch. Denizhan was also very accommodating when my mom sprained her ankle and ended up in a wheelchair a couple of days before our tour. He pushed her wheelchair down the cobblestone paths of Ephesus (no easy feat!) so that my dad and I had our hands free to take pictures. I was so grateful for his help and patience with that unexpected setback. A+++

We arrived at noon in 100 degrees but our guide gave us a great tour in excellent English. We went to old Ephesus also plus a local village. It was so much nicer for 10 people on a smaller bus and we saw so much in a shorter time. Our cruise ship landed later which kept us from seeing Ephesus during the early morning. The price we paid was better than the ships by a lot
