The ruins of Ephesus were amazing. There was so much history there to absorb. Our tour guides Alp was very knowledgeable on the ruins. We would take this tour again. Thanks Alp for your knowledge and humor.

I highly recommend this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and the area. There were only 3 of us, we had the van just for us, and he had a driver. So he was able to talk and explain.

We had a wonderful day exploring Kusadasi with Korcan, an incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide. The tour included Mother Mary’s House, the Ephesus archaeological site, and the Basilica of Saint John — each brought to life by Korcan’s insight and storytelling. Lunch was a highlight: a delicious spread of local Turkish favorites in a peaceful setting.
We also visited a carpet factory, where we saw the intricate process of hand-weaving — surprisingly fascinating and culturally rich. The tour was very affordable, with a private guide, driver, and van. Entrance fees were paid separately, which kept things transparent and flexible.
This was the perfect excursion for the time constraints of a cruise port of call — well-paced, efficient, and packed with memorable experiences. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Kusadasi.

They take you to the ruins and Mary’s house, but they also make you sit through a fashion show and a rug presentation. Our guide was paid at each stop to bring us and the clothes and rugs were EXTREMELY over priced and trash.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very happy that you enjoyed visiting the ancient ruins and the House of Virgin Mary.
As for the fashion show and rug presentation – we only try to make your tour more enjoyable by adding some optional cultural stops. Some guests really enjoy them, but we completely understand they’re not for everyone. Since our tours are private, guests can always let the guide know if they would prefer to skip these visits, and we’ll happily adjust the program.
We truly appreciate your comments and will make sure our guides remind guests that these visits are optional. Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to welcome you again and provide you with a fully tailored experience.
Thank you

We had a great time with Hilmi. He was very knowledgeable and very accommodating of our spontaneous requests. There was so much to see and learn and he made our day so enjoyable and productive. I’m so glad we did this private tour to navigate through the crowds.
