Private Tour Worth It

This was a wonderful personalized experience with Josh. He is knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. Being in a small/private tour was 100% worth it because we could ask questions and get to places with the purpose of skipping the line and the heat. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour of Ephesus...

Wonderful tour of Ephesus with Serdar! It was very easy to find our guide at the meeting point after which we were picked up in a comfortable van for our journey to Ephesus. Serdar accompanied us the entire way and provided a great deal of information about the ruins and restoration efforts. We also enjoyed a delicious Turkish lunch.

Incredible Time Exploring Kusadasi

Absolutely incredible day spent exploring Kusadasi with our own guide. Huseyin was great and very informative! Being able to find our guide and get out of the crowds when we got off the cruise ship was key. The tour came with a guide and driver which was very nice. Ephesus is a must visit and a private tour makes it that much better, well worth the price. We enjoyed the carpet and leather factory just be clear if you’re not interested in purchasing. Overall a really great day and one of our favorite port stops! Couldn’t recommend this tour more!

Excellent & Highly Recommended

We had an absolutely wonderful Ephesus tour in Kuşadası, Turkey, thanks to our incredible guide, Fuson. She was fantastic from start to finish — warm, friendly, engaging, and truly delightful to spend the day with. Her English was excellent, which made the entire experience easy to follow and enjoyable. She also has a deep knowledge of Turkish culture, history, and the incredible ancient sites we visited. She brought Ephesus to life with fascinating stories, helpful context, and thoughtful explanations that made the tour so much more meaningful. Fuson is not only highly knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind, personable, and professional. We felt very lucky to have her as our guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Kuşadası or Ephesus.

Thankful we did this private tour

Wonderful day exploring, hitting the main historical sites. We included Terrace Houses and this should not be missed. The Van was large, clean and comfortable - almost like a limo the way the inside was set up (2 bench seats facing each other). Our guide (Genk) was interesting, personable and informative. So much depends on the guide and we had the pleasure of sharing the day with a great one. Driver was also very good. We saw many groups of 20, 30 or more and we were thankful we booked a private tour. Genk knew how to plan the visit to stay ahead of or away from the larger groups. We compared our price to those on our cruise ship (who booked a 30+ person bus tour) and the prices were practically the same, which is crazy. Go with the private tour (ask for Genk) and you will be happier than a big group.

Cem is a gem!

Cem (pronounced “gem”) was an excellent tour guide! He was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited Ephesus and toured the ancient city and terrace houses, which should not be missed! We added a stop at the House of the Virgin Mary, and Cem and the tour company were easy to work with in making the change to the itinerary. We also stopped at the Temple of Artemis and had lunch and a rug tour which was fascinating! We would definitely highly recommend this tour and specifically Cem!

Stop and book this now! So good!

Mary's home and Ephesus are must see if youre traveling to the area. To have a personal guide through it was absolutely amazing. Adam was a wealth of knowledge and kept us entertained as well. We really enjoyed going to the carpet making school & of course had to buy one too! Our driver and Adam were kind enough to take us to an extra place where we loaded up on Turkish delight. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip!
