What are people saying about Kusadasi

Kristine_A, Jun 2026

Ephesus is Magnificent

We enjoyed our trip. The tour company sent clear directions on how to meet our tour guide. We were able to secure a private tour for our group of seven which was a bonus, allowing us to schedule the day according to the needs of our group. Riza, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful in the way he presented the tour. Our favorite part was the tour of Ephesus. Quite magnificent to see the large ruins, especially the library. Our tour included a Turkish lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed tasting the local fare. We would have preferred less time at the Turkish Rug stop, however it was very interesting to see how the rugs were made. Furkan, our driver, did an excellent job being ready to bring us to each location. We would recommend this tour company based on our experience and ask for Riza to be your guide!

A wonderful trip of Ephesus !

We had a wonderful time visiting Ephesus and museum; and thanks to our tour guide Aysun. She is knowledgeable and a super nice lady. Aysun shared some gossips and stories about the Ephesus to us. This makes the whole tour even more interesting. The traditional Turkish grill at Lunch was delicious. Mercedes van is spacious and clean. It is a recommended trip! Overall, the trip is far above over expectations.

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.

Ephesus in style.

This is hands down the best way to see the sites! Our guide Ugur Duman and driver were awesome! And having a private guide and van with waters and AC— perfection! Ugur was very knowledgeable and knew all of the amazing spots to show us! They listened to us when we said we were interested in shopping and the markets and took us to see a rug co-op and we saw the beautiful textiles being made. We also went to a market and sampled the most amazing Turkish delights, baklava, and pomegranate vinegar ever! We bought an extra suitcase just for the stuff we bought at the shops! Thank you for everything Ugur- what an awesome time!

Cindy_C, Jun 2026

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!

Perfect for a private cruise excursion - leave the herd

The day was perfect and exceeded our expectations. We discussed our interests with our guide and she checked all the boxes plus! Turkish culture is very hospitable. Take time and enjoy everything. The culture, the food the history. Emine is an amazing guide. Ela is an amazing driver. Dynamic duo! Loved that there was a drive and a guide! And don't miss out in the Turkish delights! Ancient Ephesus is unbelievable. Lunch was yummy! And I was even able to help make a Turkish rug!

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!
