Top Turkey Private Sightseeing Tours - page 107

We had such a great time with our guide ECEM, she is amazing! We were met at the port, had a great car and driver. ECEM explained the day and talked about options we had. We enjoyed visiting with her and she is so knowledgeable about Turkey and Ephesus. We highly recommend this tour. Please note that entrance to Ephesus is in Turkish money or credit card only. Thank you ECEM for a wonderful day!

We booked a private tour with our family for a full day in Ephesus with our guide, Elif, and driver, Boss. Both were awesome! Elif was friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of her way to ensure everyone was having a great time. She took her time with us and we didn't feel rushed at any of the many stops we made throughout the day, which was refreshing. My favorite part of the day was lunch at the Turkish restaurant - amazing! Highly recommend this tour and Elif. Thank you Elif & Boss!

One of the best parts of this tour was that it was completely private. I loved the personalized experience, and having our own private vehicle to travel between each destination made the day so comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. We had an incredible tour in Kusadasi, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Bahar was an outstanding guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history of each site we visited. We toured Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, the Temple of Artemis, and a silk rug factory. Ephesus was absolutely fascinating, and Bahar brought the ancient city to life with her detailed explanations and interesting stories. It was amazing to learn so much while walking through such well-preserved ruins. The silk rug factory was an unexpected favorite. We watched a live demonstration of how the rugs are made, learned about the silk-making process, and even got to participate in a hands-on demonstration. It was a unique and memorable experience. This tour was phenomenal from start to finish. Bahar made every stop informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kusadasi and it is definitely a 10/10 experience!

This was a wonderful tour! It was literally one-third of the price of the cruise ship excursion, and it ended up being a private tour just for us. Our tour guide, Eda, was incredible! She was so knowledgeable about the history of each site we visited and made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. The tour did include a carpet-weaving demonstration and sales presentation. While there was a sales pitch afterward (the rugs were beautiful but expensive), we actually found the demonstration fascinating and really enjoyed learning about the craftsmanship and tradition behind the carpets. The included lunch was delicious and plentiful. It included a variety of salads, apps, meats, fruit and bread. Good for meat eaters and vegetarians. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. If you can, ask for Eda—she was fantastic and truly made the experience memorable!

Saw some amazing sites, great mix, really interesting and beautiful. Guide was great, lots of facts, loved personal touch of local insights. Kept a good pace throughout. Only complaint, there were too many sales heavy stops - but was still good to see the crafts people

Our multi day tour from Istanbul through the Cappadocia region was one of the highlights of our time in Türkiye. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. The real star of the trip was our guide, Turgay (Tour-guy) Yuzuak. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and geography of the region, but what made the tour special was his warm and personable style. He made everyone feel welcome, answered endless questions with patience and humor, and shared fascinating local insights that we never would have discovered on our own. The itinerary was excellent and struck a perfect balance between famous highlights and smaller local experiences. Seeing the fairy chimneys, underground cities, cave churches, and panoramic valleys of Cappadocia was unforgettable. Travel days were smooth and never felt rushed. The accommodations were also much nicer than expected, especially the cave hotel experience, which added a unique touch to the trip. The restaurants throughout the tour were another pleasant surprise. We enjoyed a wide variety of delicious Turkish dishes, and every meal felt thoughtfully chosen rather than just a tourist stop. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Cappadocia comfortably while learning deeply about the region and enjoying authentic Turkish hospitality.

I went to this a few years ago and it was better than I remembered. It’s a great venue, with all seats close. Really good dancing, which gets better as the show progresses. They have interesting costumes and cool lighting. There is a drummer for part of the show that is excellent. A fun experience.

Great communication and easy to work with! Due to a cancellation of one of our hotel rooms, we needed two of our group to dropped off at a different location. Our driver was willing to make an extra stop for us, which we greatly appreciated! Fantastic, prompt, courteous service! Highly recommend!!!!!
