We booked our private tour the day before with a 9am pickup. Jaleh (our tour guide) arrived on time and was amazing throughout the day. Very informative, polite and considerate. Would highly recommended if you are looking for an experience without the hustle and bustle of big tour groups.

We (myself and my elderly mother) took our private tour because it was half the price of the organised tour from our cruise ship (in February 2019). Our guide was waiting for us at the port and our air conditioned people carrier was waiting nearby. As we drove to each site, our guide would tell us about Turkey and other points of interest as we passed them.
Once at Ephesus we were able to take our time, looking at the archaeology at taking photos without being rushed. We felt un-hurried and relaxed - nothing like the usual organised tours from the cruise ship.
We saw everything on the itinerary and even stopped at a ceramics workshop and the obligatory Turkish Rug outlet, but this was fine because I picked up a lovely silk rug as a reminder of my stay.
The lunch was filling, even though I am vegetarian, there was still more than enough to satisfy our appetite after a full day's tour.
We were delivered safely back to the port and it was one of the best tours we had. Mainly due to the efficiency of booking, the helpful guide and the safe driving of of driver. I would not hesitate to use Ounce Travel again and would recommend them highly.

We got to meet an excellent private tour guide for our visit! she's very lovely, and very knowledgeable in history. 1 day tour will be a little tired because the distance between Izmire (where i suggest u to stay) to Ephesue and nearby ancient cities.
