Emre was our Guide for a private tour to Ephesus. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We were introduced to the owner of the Vineyard and Restaurant where we had our lunch and wine tasting. It was a nice break after a hot day walking around the ancient city. I must say we had the best food so far of our trip in Istanbul. I recommend this tour from Izmir.My wife and I were on a cruise in September 2023. We coordinated have Emre pick us up from the port of Kusadasi. His car was very nice. He first took us to Ephesus.

My wife and I were on a cruise in September 2023. We coordinated have Emre pick us up from the port of Kusadasi. His car was very nice. He first took us to Ephesus. Unlike many guides, he drove us AND was our personal guide walking with us through our two locations we went to. His English is perfect. His knowledge of Ephesus was outstanding. Ephesus was absolutely worth seeing and short Emre did a great job of bringing it to life for us. He then suggested we go for a short drive to see the burial location of the apostle John. This was a very pleasant surprise. Make sure you have Emre take you to the burial site. Our last stop was for a lovely lunch with locally produced wine. Emre and Phoenicia Travel made for an OUTSTANDING day. If you are going to be in Kusadasi, do yourself a favor, and have Emre be your personal guide. He was amazing.

We had an absolutely amazing day out with Emre. The tour was fantastic, his knowledge and information of the area and history was astounding. It was a day to remember for life. We had duch a grest time that we even arranged another private tour with him for the following day. As there is so much more to explore in Turkey , we will definitely come back again and then will only book with Phoenicia Tours. As being a tour operator myself, I can truly confirm that they stand out with the tours and guiding they offer. If you want to have exceptional service, knowledge and a unique experience in turkey , Phoenicia Tours are undoubtedly the operator to book with. We will be back… Thank you EmreBy far my favourite part of the day was our visit to the vinyard. The setting is beautiful, the management and staff are incredibly kind and friendly, and the wine is delightful. I had no idea such wine existed in Turkey.

By far my favourite part of the day was our visit to the vinyard. The setting is beautiful, the management and staff are incredibly kind and friendly, and the wine is delightful. I had no idea such wine existed in Turkey. Now I know where they keep it :) We tasted 5 wines, and our guide ensured these catered to our preferences and tastes. He must have done a great job as we ended up buying 2 bottles! Knowing I loved olive oil, he even arranged that they let us sample their own extra virgin olive oil that is not even available to purchase 🤯 The food was by far the best we had in the province, and we have been in Turkey for a month already. Overall we would highly recommend coupling Ephesus with this wine tour, and with this company. Their service is the best. Do not get me wrong, the sites of Ephesus are amazing and the history exhilarating but the highlight of this particular tour, what makes it unique…and quite honestly why it’s worth paying the extra is the wine experience. Eternally grateful that we came across this company, and this tour because it was our number one highlight on our visit to Izmir Province. Thank you again! We highly recommend!We had a great time walking through the ruins, stopping to take pictures while learning about who lived there and what life was like in the port city before heading over to a beautiful vineyard. The food was impeccable, the wines were very good and we even left with a bottle of our favourite.
