Ephesus from Kusadasi cruise port - What a fantastic (private) day excursion from the cruise port. We covered so many things throughout the day, including food and drink. I would highly recommend this trip, we had Seyhan as our guide, he was such a friendly guy and his knowledge was second to none. A bargain for the price.

our guide was great and knowledgeable - Our guide Fatih was amazing and very knowledgeable. He was very patient with our questions and a personable guy. The tour was awesome...Ephesus was great...so much history. I'm so glad we took the tour rather than going on our own...we learned so much. We had a traditional lunch and an interesting stop at a carpet demonstration.

Amazing Ephesus - We took a tour to Ephesus with Faith from Kusadasi cruise port. He was amazing! So knowledgeable with all the history and so incredibly friendly. He took us to some amazing places. We enjoyed authentic food, a rug demonstration and a fashion show. He made my day in Turkey so memorable. When I’m back, I will look for another tour with Faith! If I could give more than 5 stars I would have!

Lovely private tour with Bihter - Although we started quite late (because me and my boyfriend chose to), we still managed to see all the beautiful landmarks. Bihter is a lovely woman who guided and informed us with interesting information and made the trip even more fun with her witty humour. It is not like any other tour i’ve done in the past, she really outdid herself and made me feel very welcomed! Thoroughly enjoyed my trip with her and definitely recommend her to anyone else wanting to visit Ephesus!!

Amazing guide and all round experience - Fantastic guide Bihtar. She has great knowledge of whatever you want. We took a tour of Ephesus and she knew every detail of the place. Will give you the opportunity to decide what you want to do on your tour and how long you want to spend on each thing.

One of the best tours I have been on - Seyhan was a very dedicated and informative tour guide. We rode their Mercedes Sprinter through Kushadasi and got an in-depth history of the ancient ruins. Our favorite part was going through the local markets and meeting the great people of this city. We were served a delicious meal to wrap it up. The price was very good as well. Five star. Would recommend.
