What are people saying about Kusadasi

PRIVATE All Inclusive Ephesus Tour (SKIP-THE-LINE)

Karla_M, Oct 2026

What an amazing experience!

This was an experience of a lifetime! Our guide, Zeynep, was so full of information and truly enjoyed being a guide. She explained all the ruins to us and gave so much insight. You truly do need a guide to explain the history of Ephesus and the knowledge they provide is really needed to understand Ephesus. After the tour of Ephesus, we went to the museum, then had a wonderful lunch and then visiting a rug weaving. This was a fantastic excursion and we would do it again and again and again. So thankful we were able to experience this.

Private Biblical Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi Port with Lunch

Kyle_D, Oct 2026

Excellent Private Biblical Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi Cruise Port!

We had an amazing private tour experience with our tour guide, Gigi, with pickup and drop off directly from the Kusadasi cruise port. She was super knowledgeable, accommodating, and we had a ton of fun along the way. Mary's House, Ancient Ephesus, and John's Burial Site were fascinating to be able to experience and learn about. Learning about how Turkish Rugs are made and ending our tour with a delicious local lunch was excellent. As a tip for others, ensure to be friendly but yet clear if you do not intend to purchase a Turkish Rug to be respectful of both yours and their time. I would definitely highly recommend this tour to anyone, and it was an awesome way to be able to experience a lot in a limited amount of time!

Amazing

It was so well done our tour guide was amazing we saw everything we wanted to see plus more the tour guide, and the driver were willing to show us anything. We wanted to see. We were very excited about our luncheon and the special place that she took us to. She was very very knowledgeable.

FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with Entry Fees & Lunch

Jessica_W, Oct 2026

Well worth it

Very worth the time and money. Aybi was exceptional. We learned so much about the history of the sites we visited. She managed to keep track of all 8 of us and give us plenty of time to enjoy the area, take pictures, etc while also teaching us along the way. We loved the lunch and it was really cool to see the rug making process, although they do try hard to get you to buy. There was a stop at a local store to sample many delicious goods, but the prices were WAY over marked, very much a rip off (3-4 times the prices of what we found same goods for in Istanbul a couple days later), so I would suggest leaving that stop out or adding a store with more affordable pricing. Overall though, highly recommend this tour and we were so glad to have booked it rather than a ship excursion which would have been large and impersonal.

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

Sheila_C, Oct 2026

A wonderful trip to Ephesus.

The tour begins quite early but it means you get to Ephesus before it gers busy. The ruins are magnificent and the immersive experience is impressive. The trip also included a visit to Mary's house- peaceful and uplifting. Lunch, which you pay for separately, was a selection of Turkish dishes- meats, salad, dips and a very sweet dessert. This was most certainly a small group experience- we were the only people! The guide, Caran, was excellent. She has an in depth knowledge of Ephesus which she shared with us in an user friendly way. She was an absolute delight. The whole day was wonderful. And should you have Caran as your guide you will be so pleased.

An excellent tour offering good value for the cost.

From the outset the tour was very well organised and ran like clockwork. Our guide Ozzy was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made sure everyone was well looked after. I would highly recommend this tour which was less than half the price of an equivalent tour offered by TUI.

Tegan_A, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour

Definitely book the full experience. We booked just the travel and ended up joining in on all the other activities. The guide was incredible- providing the group with a running history lesson spanning the changes in Ephesus over the many empires. The walk through the ruins in Ephesus was long so wear comfortable walking shoes. The ground was not always even so use caution if you have balance issues. Our tour guide timed our arrivals into the attractions so perfectly that we had little to no wait times to see the highlights of the tour. Lunch was delicious and the other couples on our tour were delightful. You will love this tour!

A must do tour !

The booking was so easy and they were very accommodating adding more family to the original group . They also were able to help us create a wonderful experience for our 83 year old mom who was not able to walk very much . Kufte our guide was so personable and knowledgeable . The driver took extra care of us even driving and walking with our mom to situate her in a comfortable place to sit . They went above and beyond . Most importantly the Kusadasi / Ephaesus tour was filled with so many cultural experiences . The archeological sites are in perfect condition and Kufte was able to give us so many insights and historical facts. We enjoyed our time so much that we will use the same company to organize our tour of Istanbul .

Sue_T, Sep 2026

A very enjoyable experience

A very enjoyable & informative trip. Would highly recommend. We could have skipped the House of Mary as we aren’t religious. Ephesus was very interesting & our guide was very knowledgeable. We’re glad we visited the terraced houses as this was one of the highlights. Everything was well organised. We had around 10 of us in the group.
