Highlights of Ephesus - Shore excursion

Tugba was absolutely awesome! She guided us expertly through Ephesus, stopping in the least crowded and potentially most shaded areas to teach us so much about what we were seeing. She was extremely knowledgeable and had such a kind personality and positive energy about her. We were tired from our all day tour the previous day, but Tugba really kept us engaged and customized the day for us. We had asked to go to Sirince Village after that, and she navigated the streets and shops for us. We were able to sit down for Turkish coffee, try Turkish delights and even do a Turkish fruit wine tasting. From there her driver took us to an area for a traditional lunch that was quite good and we decided to do a short tour of the rug shop there which she made sure was a good experience for all of us (two teens). We enjoyed it and did not feel too pressured. Tugba stayed with us everywhere we went to ensure we were well taken care of and able to enjoy an authentic experience, which I really appreciated. Our family 100% recommends Tugba. She was just lovely.

Our 3 generation family had an absolutely fabulous day with Tugba in Ephesus. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. We learned a lot and had a fun time doing it. She kept to our pace and answered all of our questions providing context and in-depth information. She was our favorite guide of our trip! I recommend her highly and would definitely use her again if we are in the area!

Amazing day in Ephesus with Tugba U. A very knowledgable guide that had a very professional driver so she was able to sit in the back of the van with us and told us all the history and the many sites we were seeing. The walk through the ruins is truly something that I had not seen in my past tours of Turkey. A must see and Tugba is fun to be with while learning. Thank you.

We had a wonderful tour of Ephesus with Tugba U. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We were keen on getting to Ephesus early to beat the crowds and she was extremely accommodating. We were able to get an in-depth explanation of all the major sites and had the Terrace houses virtually to ourselves. Tugba was very knowledgeable (her father-in-law was one of the earliest tour guides and obviously, it has worn off on her). Tugba was so much fun, highly recommended!

Tugba was our tour guide to Ephesus. She shared the history and many interesting stories with us of not only Ephesus, but of this entire region of Turkey. She included some extra stops which were an added delight to our time in Turkey. We give her a five star rating

"Tuba" showed us a fantastic time. She is very knowledgeable about Turkey, local geography and the history of the sites. She recommended St. John's Basilica - which turned out to be a great choice. On top of that, she is a lot of fun. We had a wonderful time.
