Our tour guide is very knowledgeable as he has a archaeology minor degree and works with archaeologists. I really enjoyed his sharing of new archaeological findings. The car is also clean and comfortable. This tour company also gave a nice brochure, very professional.

The whole experience from start to finish with Phyllis (guide) and Nico (driver) was so smooth. Phyllis greeted us at the Izmir airport and whisked us off to Ephesus. On the way, we stopped at a family-run ceramic store and demonstration of this millennial artwork. Then the Virgin Mary’s home, followed by historical Ephesus, lunch, St. John basilica and a good quality/price authentic leather store. I was with my mother and aunt and we were all impressed by Phyllis’ knowledge of biblical and Greco-Roman history. She quoted bible scripture so easily and could pin-point exact dates. She was also very friendly, patient and had good humour. Highly recommended.

We had just one day in Izmer and stayed at the TAV airport hotel due to an early flight (which was a great place to stay-very easy). We booked with Ounce Travel a full day tour to Ephesus (this was also listed under the name Ephesus Breeze when we searched the internet). Wonderful Mrs. Phyllis gave myself, husband, and 11-year-old son a wonderful private tour. She took us to all the major sites and gave us wonderful information! She also took us to a pottery store with amazing works of art and a Turkish rug school where we had a fantastic lunch. Both were great places and this is truly a part of Turkish culture as the employees serve wonderful Turkish tea and small snacks while presenting their work. I have to be honest, it is hard to say "no" after the places show off their beautiful work. Mrs. Phyllis was a walking encyclopedia and explained everything in great detail and was patient in answering all of our questions. Some of the Biblical information was a little off in regards to dates. Turkey has so much history and it is wonderful to be able to see the ruins in Ephesus...imagining Apostle Paul walking through the area preaching the Gospel. We thank Mrs. Phyllis for giving us such an amazing experience and giving us memories to last a lifetime.
