Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi

Sabina_A, Jul 2026

Great Tour with Rich History

We had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Ephesus with Gufte, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge of the site was incredible, she brought the ancient city to life with fascinating stories and historical context that you’d never get from a guidebook. From the Library of Celsus to the Grand Theatre and the Terrace Houses, every stop was made richer by her insights. Beyond the expertise, Gufte was warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic, happy to answer all our questions and make sure everyone in the group felt included. She also paced the tour perfectly, giving us time to take photos and soak in the atmosphere without ever feeling rushed. If you’re visiting Ephesus, do yourself a favor and book Gufte. She made our trip truly memorable, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for one of the ancient world’s most remarkable places. Thank you, Gufte, for an unforgettable 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!

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.

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!

A simply wonderful day in Ephesus and Kusadasi!

Our guide was the very best! She has been guiding for many years, and her knowledge is both deep and wide…and she easily adjusts if you want more or less! Ephesus was amazing - and in addition to a fabulous visit there, we were able to experience local rug weavers, traditional family pottery and a lovely Turkish meal. As additional intel, we had both a driver and a guide, which gave us an elevated experience. Our guide was dedicated to guiding and didn’t have to worry about driving! 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.
