With a PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR, you will experience the historical Ephesus Ancient City, the Temple of Artemis, and Isa Bey Mosque. Listening to me as your professional licensed tour guide along the ancient Roman streets, you will enjoy walking through and taking pictures of the Odeon, Memmius Monument, Domitian Temple, Hercules Gate, Hadrian Temple, Celsus Library, Marble Street, the biblical Ephesus Great Theatre, Harbour Street, and more. I will share fascinating stories from ancient times about how people lived, where they enjoyed their free time, and how they handled food and trade. Having guided at Ephesus for over 25 years, I have gathered deep knowledge about the region to share with you. Cultural Crafts & Shopping Insight: Our day includes brief stops at traditional jewelry, leather, or weaving workshops to highlight Turkish craftsmanship. Hosts will display products for sale. This is standard in Turkish commerce; there is absolutely no requirement to buy.
Ilker was very knowledgeable & very considerate of our timing of visits to all the sites to avoid the bus loads of tourists He also assisted us with an issue we had (left documents in a hotel room) which saved us a heap of drama He took us to a couple of shops at the end of the tour where we bought some ceramics & Turkish delight He took lots of photos of us at Ephesus as we wandered through & we really enjoyed our day with Ilker Thanks for your kindness đ
Ilker was a wonderful guide. His knowledge of the history and culture of the region was wonderful. We were traveling wit 2 13 year olds and he was able to keep them interested and engaged at all times. The weather was very hot but we so enjoyed the tour and the information that none of us wanted to cut the day short. If you are lucky enough to engage liker as your guide you will have an experience that you will always remember fondly!! We can not say enough wonderful things about him and this tour!!
I really enjoyed my tour with Ilker - he adjusted the itinerary to my constraints/preferences, and perfectly balanced taking me to most interesting bits and highlighting and giving me time to roam. Highly recommended!
Ilker is an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of Ephesus history and archaeology. His vocabulary and pronunciation in English is strong. (Sometimes guides are fluent but with heavy accents). He took the time to pre-purchase tickets making the whole process seamless. I would definitely hire him again.
With limited time in TĂŒrkiye, we looked forward to a quick one-day side trip to see Ancient Ephesus. We happily came across Ilker's profile in ToursByLocals and saw his years of experience matching our desire for visiting and appreciating the ruins. His communication was always timely, and he remained flexible for our specific travel timing and location needs. Ever affable, he made for an enjoyable companion for the day.
Ilker is a friendly, engaging guy. He picked us up at our hotel in a very nice Mercedes van and gave us a great tour of the fascinating ruins of Ephesus. Later we saw the remains of the Temple of Artemis and other historic ruins. Don't miss this tour! Highly recommended!
