Cannot be beat small group experience

What an experience!! Travel guide, Gufte, met us at the port and escorted us to our transportation where she outlined our day. She was very knowledgeable and gave us personal time to explore at each stop. Good idea to bring an umbrella and lots of water. You also have plenty. Of places to purchase. Gufte has 12 years of experience and knows all the tricks of the trade. She was amazing. Our driver was also excellent and they both made the experience extremely enjoyable.

An Awesome Tour

We had a wonderful Ephesus tour and lunch experience through Turquesa Tours. Very professionally run. Loved the WhatsApp message to remind us of the tour, person to contact when we walk out of the cruise terminal if we don’t see our names/tour guide and also allowing us to communicate with them efficiently. Our guide, Ibrahim Battal, was absolutely amazing. He was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of Ephesus to life with fascinating insights and engaging stories. As a person born in Selcuk, his passion for the region and attention to detail made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Our driver, Ismail Sonmez, was equally excellent. He was friendly, patient, and professional throughout the day. We always felt safe and comfortable as he drove us between sites, and his courteous manner added to the overall positive experience. The lunch was also very enjoyable and complemented a fantastic day of sightseeing. We highly recommend this tour and would like to thank both Ibrahim and Ismail for making our visit to Ephesus so memorable. Five stars!

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.

Even better than the...

Even better than the description suggests. Our guide was knowledgeable about all the details of the ancient city, which made the experience much richer. The duration was just right. We loved the brief introduction to Turkish carpet-making and a lovely Turkish lunch outside. Very memorable and highly recommended.

Perfect Day in Ephesus with Emre

Emre was a very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. He shared tons of history about Ephesus, archeological finds and Christian ties to the area. Our small group turned out to be just my spouse and me. Emre let us choose to opt in or out of any extra stops. We chose to visit a family pottery shop which is an UNESCO heritage site and a wholesale leather shop. Both had very short demos with zero sales pressure. Our lunch was at a small restaurant and was wonderful. This excursion exceeded our expectations in every way.

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.

Turkish Bath Service - Hamam Experience in Kusadasi

matthew_L, Jun 2026

Great relaxing place to go off a cruise ship

Travelling on our 1st cruise we decided to have something abit more relaxing in Kusadasi as previous days had been full on. We found this experience and loved the idea of a spa. With some trepidation booking outside the cruise line. We took a punt that this trip would be close to the port and would go well. We couldn't have been happier :-) Great communication by email and WhatsApp keeping us fully connected. Advised they would collect us by the port entrance. Which they did and were actually waiting for us!! We were taken to the experience which is literally only 10 mins away so no fear of not getting back to the ship. Once we arrived we were very well looked after, They explained what our experience would be and under no pressure offered us a few upgrades which we actually booked. Full massage at the end of the Hammam experience. The masseuse were lovely people who did an awesome job of revitalising us all including our 11 year old daughter who they took great care of making sure she stayed with her Mum throughout. She really did not want to leave at the end!! Then when all complete we were dropped back at the port entrance. Overall great experience and trip. Would recommend :-)

Great day, perfect pace

We did our tour with Melis, and had an amazing day. She was kind and thoughtful and really helped my dad who had some mobility and medical challenges. It was perfect for us to move at his pace. Meeting and chatting with her was like speaking with a friend. I learned so much about the people and country that I wouldn't otherwise had learned. The meal was amazing, and included a bunch of items I might not have tried without the choices being made for us. Thank you Melis!!!!
