Ephesus Travel Guide

Denizhan gave us the greatest day! We don't normally spring for guided tours and prefer to do things on our own. We really just wanted a ride around to the various destinations. We got so much more than we planned and we are soooo grateful for it!!!He catered to our desires to see specific things and was amazingly aware when we were interested in certain topics. He picked us up at our hotel in Izmir (which he knew the whole history of) and drove us all over Selçuk, Ephesus and Sirince. He is amazingly knowledgeable about any topic and made the whole day super easy and delightful. We kindly requested no shopping and he remembered that and took it to heart.I can't praise this tour enough. I am so glad we had Ephesus Travel Guide to show us around. Many things we saw would have been a little boring without the back story and history behind everything. The temple of Artimus, though not much to look at, became a special place. So many pieces of history we know began to click into place. So much fun. Far exceeded our expectations!!!Thank you Ephesus Travel Guide for one of the best days of our trip!Ethan

I recommend wholeheartedly getting a tour guide to visit Ephesus. We like to do things on our own, but decided last-minute to hire a guide. It's the best decision we could have taken! Our trip to Ephesus wouldn't have been the same. It was actually the highlight to our trip to Turkey. A big thanks to Mr. Denizhan Pekoz, our guide, who was able to arrange everything last minute. He made our visit so enjoyable with his extensive knowledge of the region, his patience and his excellent recommendations.

When I was looking for a good guide in Kuşadası, I decided to choose Ephesus Travel Guide. It was one of the best decisions during my trip. We not only visited the ruins of Ephesus and the place where the Temple of Artemis had been built, but also saw the modern pottery manufacturing process and carpet weaving.I strongly recommend Mrs. Filiz as a tour guide. She is really the best one I've ever seen! Filiz is very talkative, has a perfect knowledge of the history of Ephesus, and speaks English fluently. We had a fascinating 8-hour tour filled with useful information that helped me understand more about the lifestyle of ancient citizens.

For a once-in-a-lifetime visit to Ephesus, my wife and I wanted the best possible experience and decided to hire a private guide over a group tour. We are thrilled that we did. Using our rental car, the guide had us at Ephesus when it opened. Well ahead of the tour bus crowds, we had the place to ourselves. At every step of our four-hour tour, he provided interesting history and observations. No question was beyond his knowledge. Having taken dozens of tours over the year's I can say that this one was second to none. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We highly recommend the tour of Ephesus that Denizhan Pekoz and members of his tour company leads. From the first time that we inquired about a tour, he was nothing but extremely professional. All of the information he gave us before the tour was clear and very helpful, and there were no unpleasant surprises, only pleasant ones! He and his driver picked us up from the port in a very comfortable van. On the tour and while driving from site to site we learned so much more from his extremely informative tour than we ever expected we would; from information about Turkey itself, to most likely every single fact about the history of Ephesus that a visitor should learn and be aware of, to very interesting information about nature, industry, history, current events in Turkey and everything in between! Denizhan is such an interesting person with an incredible knowledge base! He took care of all our needs including the driver helping my 80-year-old mother in and out of the van and giving a suggestion about where we could eat lunch. They were so kind and thoughtful, and we appreciated every aspect of how we spent the day with them. We highly recommend them and wish them all the best in their future as a very excellent tour company.

Cok guzel bir deneyimdi. Efes antik kentini ve cevresini daha once bu sekilde gezmemistim. Cok dolu dolu bir turdu. Bilgisi, anlatim tarzi ve ilgisinden dolayi rehberimiz olan Denizhan Beye cok tesekkur ediyorum.

Denizhan Bey hem Efes antik şehri için hem de güzel ülkemizin tarihi yerleri için çalışabileceğiniz en iyi rehberlerden biridir. Hem bilgisiyle, hem özverisiyle, hem titizliğiyle, hem de yüksek enerjisi ile gerçekten çok saygı duyduğumuz harika bir rehberdir. Efes Antik şehrine gittiğinizde eğer rehberiniz Denizhan bey ise çok keyifli bir tur yapacağınızdan emin olabilirsiniz. Turunuzun sonunda muhteşem anılarla ve bilgilerle ayrılmış olacaksınız. Garanti veririz. Siz turunuzu ya da turlarınız Denizhan bey ile yapın zaten ne demek istediğimizi göreceksiniz. Rehber mi tabii ki Denizhan Bey. Fazla söze gerek yok.....

Denizhan Bey turumuz esnasında adeta tarihi gözümüzde canlandırdı. Oldukça bilgili ve çok iyi bir anlatıcı...

We had the pleasure of dealing with Orchuns company in January. They responded to our queries on WhatsApp instantly. Arranged our transfer from Izmir airport and we drove into Ephasus. We met Orchun at the Basilica. He was so kind and allowed us to use the coffee shop WiFi to book our accommodation as we had not finalized it as yet.We had a bite to eat after our travels and walked across the road to enter the marvelous ruins.We had been very taken aback by how much of an expert Orchun was. He is fluent in English and is captivating in his story telling. He speaks of the tales and brings everything to life in such a memorable way. We walked the streets, met local people. He was quite well know amongst the community and very polite. Orchun was patient. He answered all our questions and was very accommodating when we needed to take pictures.Both Orchun and the driver were very flexible and thoroughly took great care of us. My highlights were the Virgin Marys home and the city of Ephasus. I absolutely recommend this tour guide. They are truly professional.

I found the company through great reviews online and Denizhan was very responsive from the beginning stages of planning the customized tour until the day of the tour. It was easy to plan everything through whatsapp and he answered every question I had. We were coming from Istanbul and arranged our own roundtrip flight to Izmir airport. The car ride from Izmir to Selcuk (Ephesus) and back was nice and we had a comfortable van.We had a very informative tour with Denizhan. He knows a great deal of historical and Biblical information about the area and the sites we went to. He doesn’t waste any second as there was so much to know about the place so be sure to tell him that you want a quick picture before moving on to the next spot! :) He also took us to a stop that sells local ceramic and we ended up buying souvenirs from the place as the quality was good.I highly recommend staying overnight in the area to see nearby places if you have time. I wish we had done that. But I definitely recommend Denizhan for a private tour of Ephesus and the surrounding area! Very impressive guide who truly knows a great deal about history. You can tell how passionate he is about his job and the local area.
