Great Private tour with A Knowledgeable Guide - This was a great tour. Yesim Kucak was great. She spent all the time we needed and explained all of the sights very well. She was able to answer any questions we had. The driver also did a great job. The van was very clean and comfortable. Overall I would not wanted to spend the day with anyone but Yesim. Great experience and worth every cent and then some. Thank you!!

Private and customized tour - The whole tour was great because it was a private and customized to our wants and needs. Due to the extreme hot weather we were able to shorten our exposure to the hot sun.

Amazing Ephesus Tour! - Our tour of Ephesus in Kusadasi was fantastic! A big part of that thanks goes to our incredible guide, Serdar. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ephesus, bringing the ancient city to life with his explanations and stories. Serdar wasn't just informative, he was also a lot of fun! He made the tour engaging and enjoyable, keeping us entertained throughout the day. We truly appreciate his enthusiasm and passion for this fascinating place. Beyond Ephesus itself, Serdar also provided insightful commentary on our visit to the Virgin Mary's House and the Temple of Artemis. If you're planning a trip to Ephesus, I highly recommend requesting Serdar as your guide. You won't be disappointed!

Guided tour Ephesus - We visited Kusadasi as part of our cruise experience and had an amazing day tour throughout the city. We started at Mary's house, visited 2 local artisan shops, and discovered the beautiful Turkish culture. We visited the ancient temple of Artemis, the Basilic of John. And we finally visited the ancient city of Ephesus. Our local guide Ayse was very knowledgeable, and figured out the best ways to navigate the big crowds and make the day more comfortable and pleasant. She also brought us to a wonderful local restaurant, where we tried the amazing Turkish food. This tour is highly recommended!
