Ephesus Private or Small Group Tour With Ticket Option

Tremendously enjoyable

We had an absolutely brilliant time. The pickups and service were spot-on. The guides were knowledgeable and interesting. We were lucky enough to travel with their Social Media guru, Yasin Can. He made the trip so memorable with his professionalism and general upbeat attitude. He is an underrated asset.

Pathetic lunch

The guide was very good. It is a pleasure to take the excursion with a guide just for you, in our case, with two children. They adapt to your preferences. The lunch was pathetic; they take you to a place with some sad fans, a lot of heat, a dog walking around and brushing against your legs the whole time, and the waitress who sets and clears plates keeps giving leftovers from the plates to the dog... Cleanliness is nowhere to be found, and worst of all, IT IS A DISGRACE THAT THE WATER THEY SERVE YOU IS IN DIRTY AND CRUMPLED BOTTLES, HOT, HOT, AS IF IT HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE MICROWAVE. THERE IS NO OPTION TO PAY FOR COLD WATER. My children do not like soft drinks, they only drink water, and they had to eat without having any kind of drink. The private tour is totally recommended, but DO NOT TAKE THE LUNCH; we left halfway through, no dessert or anything. Inhumane not to be able to even have water. In Spain, that establishment would be closed by health inspectors.

Money Well Spent: FAROUT TURIZM Turned Our Istanbul Dream into Reality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

FAROUT TURIZM LIMITED ŞİRKETİ gave my family an absolutely unforgettable and flawless experience in Istanbul! We traveled as a family of four, including an infant and a toddler, and from the very first moment to the last, everything was perfectly curated with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Right from arrival on TK290, the welcome was seamless and stress-free. We were greeted at Exit 14 with a clear “WELCOME TO TURKEY” board, and our representative was easy to spot holding an iPad with my name, Mr. Chike Okeke. The private transfer to the beautiful Armada Hotel was smooth, and the entire process felt thoughtful and reassuring—especially with little ones in tow. Over the four days, FAROUT designed the perfect mix of history, relaxation, and family-friendly fun: • Day 1 took us through Istanbul’s historic gems: the breathtaking Blue Mosque, the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, the fascinating Hippodrome, and the vibrant chaos of the Grand Bazaar—guided privately at a pace that worked perfectly for us. • Day 2 included a relaxing morning followed by a scenic Bosphorus cruise in the afternoon—a highlight for capturing beautiful family photos while gliding between two continents. • Day 3 was pure joy for the kids (and us adults too!): Miniatürk’s incredible miniature landmarks, a visit to the Asian side with a modern mall for dining and downtime, and the spectacular Istanbul Aquarium—an underwater wonder that left everyone mesmerized. Every transfer was exceptional, but the ride back to the airport on Day 5 truly stood out. The luxurious, spacious van was top-notch—complete with heating, great music, and plenty of room for the kids to stay comfortable and entertained. It removed every bit of travel stress and let us simply enjoy the moment. A very special thank you to Persem Ozcan Tek—her patience, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. She went above and beyond to ensure our little ones were happy and that we all felt cared for throughout the trip. Yes, we wish we’d chosen a slightly warmer time of year weather-wise, but that’s on us—not the experience! Istanbul in December was still magical, and FAROUT TURIZM made every moment count. This agency is a truly trusted and outstanding brand. Every lira was money incredibly well spent. If you’re planning a trip to Turkey—especially with family—look no further than FAROUT TURIZM. They don’t just organize tours; they create cherished memories with heart and excellence. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Okeke, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt and detailed review.

Designing a smooth, comfortable, and memorable journey—especially when traveling with an infant and a toddler—is something we approach with the utmost care, and we are delighted to know that every detail, from your arrival to your departure, met and exceeded your expectations. Your kind remarks about the itinerary balance, private guiding pace, seamless transfers, and family-friendly experiences reflect exactly what we strive for: thoughtful planning combined with genuine hospitality. We are especially happy that highlights such as the Bosphorus cruise, Miniatürk, and the Istanbul Aquarium created joyful moments for both the children and the adults alike. A special thank you for recognizing Ersem Tek. Your appreciation will certainly be shared with her, and we are proud to have team members who serve our guests with such dedication, patience, and warmth. While December weather can be a bit cooler, we’re delighted that Istanbul still left you with magical memories—and that we could make every moment count despite the season. On behalf of our entire team, thank you for trusting FAROUT TURKEY with your family’s journey. Creating meaningful, stress-free, and lasting memories is at the heart of what we do, and your recommendation is the highest compliment we could receive.
