Private Guided Ephesus Tour, Best of Ephesus

If there is a place called heaven on earth, Sirince must be a part of paradise. Dido Sotiroyo, one of the famous Greek writer who was born in this village, says these words about Sirince. Road to the village through olive and tangerine trees decorated with old Greek houses at the end of winding road and delicious scent of home made wine of grapes welcomes you as a surprise in the beginning of your journey. The village of Sirince is a good example of the tolerance and cultural heritage in the west of Turkey which reflects Turkish and Greek ways of life together. When you pay a visit to the village, you cannot stop yourself admiring the harmony of two cultures, Greek style houses and Turkish type of living.You also will feel like yourself as if walking in a movie studio. This is the only willage in the Aegean region which has both a Greek Orthodox church and a Moslem mosque side by side. It is in the list of World Heritage Sites of United Nations and it has only 700 inhabitants.

What are people saying about Kusadasi

jayne_b, Sep 2026

Best excursion ever!

Sybil was easily located righty off the ship. She walked us to the meeting spot where a comfortable air conditioned Mercedes was waiting. We were a party of 4 so we got basically a private tour. We made our way to Ephesus and toured the ruins. I’m not a history buff but she really made it interesting. We were also given time to visit the museum and/or shops etc. Next was the Turkish rug stop. I have to say the hands on tour/ display of rugs was totally amazing. We all admitted we were blown away with the time and talent it takes to make each rug. Then on to the Turkish bath. This was a very relaxing, interesting and amazing experience! Sybil was interesting and friendly and made us feel comfortable. Highly recommend!! Ty!

Wonderful tour with Gigi!

Gigi was an exceptional guide! She attended college in the area and had an incredible knowledge of Ephesus and Turkish history. She answered every question we asked with confidence and explained everything in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. She was also super friendly, patient, and very accommodating throughout the tour. Her knowledge and personality made our visit to Ephesus truly memorable. We highly recommend Gigi!

Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic tour with Emri! Don’t know how it could have been better. He knows all about Ephesus and the surrounding area and is eager to share his knowledge. As others have said, the lunch was very good. The rugs were the most beautiful we have ever seen as were the Chini pottery pieces. Highly recommend!

Yunis is a fantastic guide and Ephesus is a must see

We are a group of 6 adults who did the Ephesus tour with Yunis. Booking was straightforward. Communication with the tour operator and guide was easy via WhatsApp. We knew what to expect and were kept informed. Pickup was right on time. The van was modern, comfortable and air conditioned. It ended up that we were the only group and Yunis made it feel just like a private tour, customizing the itinerary to match our preferences. Yunis was polished and professional, giving historical and local insights as we walked together through the whole site. We went in at the top gate, down the main street and Yunis pointed out the temples, fountains, houses and taverns. He showed us an active archeological dig, explaining how Ephesus was discovered and how much has been excavated. We saw the Library of Celsus, the amphitheater (that is actually a theatre because it is a semi circle - thanks Yunis!) and the new Ephesus experience museum. What a spectacular and awe inspiring place and what a treat to be guided by such a professional. Amazing!

Port of Kusadasi - private tour, a must

We just spent a wonderful and educational day at the port of Kusadasi with Mel. She was so knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. She truly loves her home town and it shows in how she describes their customs and traditions. Our tour was customized to our interests and her recommendations. We loved having a private guide and not being in a large group. Because of Mel, we are leaving a small part of our heart in Türkiye.

It was a fun experience....

It was a fun experience. Because of recent fires we did not see the monastery or swim in the cave, but the tour guides made the most of the experience. You get to see the mountains of Turkey and swim in the Aegean Sea. You can’t go wrong for the price. Got back to our boat in plenty of time. In fact, a family had to leave early to meet their boat and the host feed them early and took them back in time. Very good tour.

Great tour guide and tour

Tamer was phenomenal as a tour guide. English was great and his knowledge was superb! We were so tired from the past few days excursions so we were worried about a long day and super long lines. Tamer get us past most of the lines and knew the timing of heavy crowds. Definitely recommend the tour and ask for Tamer.

10/10 would recommend!

We had an amazing day guided by Bob! We opted to do the additional sites, which I would highly recommend. The tour was very informative and covered art, architecture, culture, religion, etc. It was also nice to not experience the typical logistical/organizational delays encountered with larger group tours. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in ancient history.

Educational and Engaging Private Ephasus Tour

This was a private tour, making it more engaging and personal. We had our own guide for my husband and I, along with a dedicated driver, making it easier and quicker to navigate the stops at all of the different sites. Olgu was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area and especially the history of Mary, John and Paul’s travels through the Ephasus region and about the Ephasus Ruins. Olgu spoke very good English so was easy to understand and ask questions. I highly recommend this tour!

Full-day Pamukkale and Hierapolis Tour from Selcuk or Kusadasi

Sarah_M, Apr 2026

Great day out

A really good day out. A bit of a journey to get there, but went surprisingly quick and well worth it. The guide (Mert, I think, sorry if spelt wrong) was friendly and informative., but also allowed us the time to go where we pleased so that we could choose how we divided our time between Hierapolis and Pammukale springs. We were lucky with the weather which always helps and it wasn't too crowded also. Although we booked the tour for Pammukale, the guide recommended we did The Grand theatre first and that was good advise - great views and v impressive sat at the top. V much worth the walk up the short hill and doing before wet feet of the springs. We recommend this trip and company.
