Your guide and driver will meet you at Kusadasi Port or Kusadasi Setur Marina . We will be waiting outside the exit gate, holding a sign which has your name written on it. Please contact us after booking to confirm pick up time and please provide us with your cruise details. We recommend you to meet with us at the port 30 minutes after your ship dockets. Earlier you start your tour, you will have better chance to enjoy your tour before the crowds.

My wife and I had a most memorable visit to Ephesus, Turkey. The guide was very personable and kind. She provided us with an excellent historical perspective of the location and explained everything in detail. We left there wanting for nothing and we’re very satisfied.

Our guide, Güfte, was terrific. She was patient, informative, and spoke perfect English. She didn’t talk too much, but enough to explain what we were seeing. She answered all of our questions. She even helped us with ideas of places to visit on our next trip to Turkey. The tour was just what we hoped it would be as well. The library at Ephesus is stunning, the house of Mary was moving. Very memorable day.

The trip was made special by our guide - Cihat Rehber
not only was he super knowledgable (being a masters student in History).. but treated us like his personal guests..

Ephesus is a little price of Greek history.. lovely village nearby too…

Carry a umbrella / parasol as the sun shining on the stones gets very intense…

We really enjoyed our tour with Cihat. He is an expert in ancient history and knew just how many facts to offer to keep the visit interesting for all, but he also made himself available for detailed questions. We loved learning about each of the important sites with our family of 6 - ranging from age 13 to age 80. Our transportation was top notch, and our lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. Our organizer, Omer, made everything easy. We really enjoyed this experience!

Our tour with Yavuz was fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was very informative and helpful. We were able to make the most out of our limited time in Ephesus. We received a great mix of history, food, and shopping on our trip. I would definitely tour with him again!

Loved it! We had a great guide who shared her knowledge with enthusiasm and answered all our questions. We saw a lot of highlights like the House of Mother May and the ancient city of Ephesus, and went on a tour of a carpet factory and pottery baking factory.
We even made our own pots!

In general, a great day with fun and interesting activities but at a relaxing pace so that we could take the time for things we found more interesting.

Special thanks to Gufte, we had an amazing time, thanks to you.
With no doubt would we recommend this to anyone else.
