Ephesus with Kaya

Kaya is an excellent tour guide that is highly knowledgeable on the history of the area and quite pleasant to speak with. This tour was an excellent choice which allowed us time to see Ephesus, House of Mary, Temple of Artemis, School for Turkish Rug making (yes we bought a beautiful hand woven rug), had Turkish coffee, ate an authentic Turkish lunch, saw some potters in action and made it back to the cruise ship in plenty of time!! I highly recommend this Tour guide Kaya and this tour for cruisers!!

Janet_G, Oct 2026

Great tour of Ephesus!

We had a great private tour of Ephesus and Terrace Houses today from the Port of Kusadasi with our most wonderful and knowledgeable guide Funda plus a very safe driver. I had specified when booking what I did and didn't want to see on the tour and the day went smoothly, finishing off with a yummy Turkish lunch then back to the port. I would highly recommend booking this tour supplied by Tour Altiinkum as their communication was excellent and they supplied a very comfortable van for the two of us and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Funda as your guide.

Ephesus tour

We had a wonderful tour of Ephesus. Our tour guide provided us with a lot of history and facts…which we appreciated. We ended our day at a beautiful lunch and tour of a rug manufacturer. A bit too much pressure on buying a rug…but otherwise a perfect day. Ephesus has a lot to offer and a tour guide is definitely recommended by us.

PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR FOR CRUISERS: On-time Return and Skip-Line

David_J, Oct 2026

Great experience

Where do I start! The best tour/excursion that I think we’ve ever been on, and the list is many. I did not realize the scope of, and the personalized experience of what we had booked. Our guide, Canan Aydin, met us at the port, and was more of a family member than just a tourism expert. We knew right away that we had nothing to worry about and that she would take care of us. The sights, the narrative, even the shopping, (we couldn’t help but buy an heirloom carpet at a fantastic price), and then the lunch! What a wonderful experience. Our driver was perfect as well. If you are planning a visit here, this is a must. And you should definitely ask for Canan!

Private tour of Ephesus with Nesli

We had a wonderful experience on our private tour of Ephesus! Our tour guide, Nesli, was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of this incredible place. She made the ancient ruins come alive with her explanations and stories, and she made the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end. The private tour format was excellent, allowing us to explore at our own pace and get the most out of our visit. Nesli went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable day.

An Incredible Day in Ephesus with Aleyna!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Incredible Day in Ephesus with Aleyna!** Our tour of Ephesus with Aleyna was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our trip. The archaeological sites were simply mind-blowing—seeing so much history preserved in one place was an experience we will never forget. Aleyna was fantastic from beginning to end. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and made the entire day feel comfortable and enjoyable. We learned so much from her about Ephesus, its history, and the people who once lived there. She brought the history to life in a way that made everything we were seeing even more fascinating. The included lunch was also delicious and such a wonderful addition to the day! We came away feeling like we had experienced so much while also gaining a much deeper understanding of the history of Ephesus. For the quality of the tour, the amount we were able to see and learn, the wonderful lunch, and the personalized experience, this tour was an **exceptional value**. Thank you, Aleyna, for such a memorable day! We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ephesus—especially if you love history and want an experience that is both personal and incredibly informative.

A wonderful experience in Ephesus Turkey

Kai & Sebastian were excellent guide and driver. Pick up was easy even among the chaos of coming off a cruise ship. They knew how to get ahead of the crowds but we never felt rushed. Kai was knowledgeable and informative on all 3 of our stops (we elected not to see the temple of Artemis.). The lunch was great and traditional. Afterwards we toured the carpet factory sponsored by the government. This was also informative and Kai told us we were not obliged to purchase anything. We had an early All Aboard and the men got us back in time for last minute shopping. Overall I highly recommend this tour.

Best tour guide EVER!!

Aybike was our guide! She was fantastic!! Very educated and informed about the areas we were visiting. 20 out of 10 recommend her! She enhanced our experience, answered all our questions. This was the start of our vacation and it was fantastic. Could have done without the carpet part, but that food was fabulous and I couldn’t get enough. It was a hot day and was hard to eat but I had seconds and wished I could have taken it home with me!! This IS the tour to take with Aybike if you’re in this area!!
