Top Kusadasi Day Trips - page 16

We were so happy to have Orkan guide us through the local sites of Kusadasi. With my 78 year old mother, we needed to customize the experience to meet her abilities. He quickly navigated us to have the optimum time to visit Mary’s house, ahead of the crowds, then told us all about the local history. We wanted to try some local Greek olive oil and he knew just the place. We were in port on a holiday and he and our driver knew the perfect way to navigate the crowds to get us back to our ship quickly. And bonus - when my husband left his expensive sunglasses in the van, he was so sad. He knew we would never get them back. He contacted Viator and the driver swung back to the port to drop them off. We are SO thankful! We will use Viator again and again. Thank you to Orkan for making our stay so educational and enjoyable!

We traveled as a group of 4. Gufte was amazingly knowledgeable and we had a fabulous day. We asked for a revision to visit the Basílica where St John is buried and she happily accommodated. We researched many options and have done several tours and this one is hands down the best. English was amazing as well. We traveled in a new Mercedes van that was super comfortable. Book it now and you will not be disappointed

Alex was great! Very knowledgeable, very friendly and very professional! He showed us all the best sites and got us in them very quickly . Lunch was fantastic too! Private tour is so much better than a big group. More personal than a big bus tours and you can customize where you go . So mix fun!

We had a great guide and driver, Ibercan and Armed were great very nice clean van, Ibercan was so educated we knew everything and more by the time we finished, great lunch and bath was perfect we even fitted in a massage as well. very good value and very private.

This was a private tour for just my wife and I. We were picked up from the cruise port and had a large comfortable car with both a driver and a licensed guide. Our guide, Pilar, was friendly and knowledgeable.she was happy to answer many questions , not only about the history of the sites but also about Turkish culture and life. All entrance fees were included. It was definitely worth visiting the terraced houses. The number of visitors was much lower here and we saw stunning mosaics, frescoes and decorative marble. The main site was fascinating too, as was the visit to the Virgin Mary House. We finished with a pleasant meal in a traditional restaurant. We did agree to visit a ceramics place, as we had a bit of time before the restaurant opened. It was a family business going back multiple generations and we saw a pot being made. The quality of the goods was very high. We declined the offer of a visit to a carpet workshop as we had no interest. This was not a problem. Our guide gave us plenty of time to see everything that we wanted

Such a fun day - would recommend taking some cash for bandanas and drinks. But, you're in for a fun filled day, visit to the cave, randomly dancing in the hillside, water fights, spectacular views and a foam party to finish off. It's a great day with a great team looking after you

Excellent experience! Great communication with the transportation company. They pick you up and return you to the port. The bath house was beautiful and the staff was wonderful. The scrub and massage will have you feeling so relaxed and ready for a nap. Prices are very reasonable for extra services. Don’t miss the experience!

First Zafer Bozoglu was our tour guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Mary’s home , Ephesus and John’s church and burial site. He asked us what we wanted and shaped the itinerary to see the sights and helped us recreate the history of these 3 sites. We spend the majority of our time in Ephesus recreating the history as well as focusing on Paul’s mission to the Ephesians as if we were back in 1st century AD. We learned a semesters worth of information In a few hours. This is the ONLY way to do this tour. Zafer was an A++!
