This tour was a great choice to visit Ephesus from Izmir. I don't exactly remember the name of the guide but it was similar to Iker (sorry if the writing is wrong), he is very prepared and guided us perfectly, explaining the history of the place and giving also insights about the city of Izmir + funny conversation during transfer and lunch. They gave us water and the transfer was very comfortable and equipped with AC.

We are on our 2nd tour with Gezenthi and guide Erman who shared his vast knowledge of Ephesus with the group. He gave us plenty of free exploring time and guided time with him was interesting, humorous and time well spent in the beautiful ruins of Ephesus. His vivid description of the theatre and especially the public toilets left nothing to the imagination :) We are leaving Izmir today with fond memories of 2 days with Gezenthi and Erman.
