Esra Is the Perfect Guide for you Ephesus Area Tour

5.00We did this tour during our recent cruise and Esra was an amazing guide! She met us at the port and was amazingly friendly. Our first stop was Mary's house and between Esra and the driver we got there in time to beat the tour buses. We had the house practically for ourselves. Her guide for us through the Ephesus archangelical site and Terrace Houses was full of great information and was one of the highlights of the entire cruise. Esra (and her husband who is also a guide) have a passion for sharing her country with travelers and it showed in how she took care if us during the day. As a surprise, since we had time, she brought us to a local ceramics artis gallery where we were treated with Turkish tea, received an explanation of the lost art and where we enjoyed the gallery and beautiful art. We would highly recommended specifically requesting that Esra be your guide when you book a tour. If you do, you'll have a great day without a doubt.
Highly informative ans beautiful day in Ephesus

5.00We had an fabulous tour with Ulas. We were in port on Friday, October 28 and Ulas was waiting for us a we exited the terminal. This was a private tour for just my husband and myself. We had a lovely newer van and a great driver. Our guide was very informed on history, architecture, and the lives of the ancient Greeks. We would highly recommend this tour and ask for Ulas He was beyond excellent!

5.00Our guide Banu and Selo our driver were excellent! We customized a private tour for 13 people (teens to grandparents) visiting Ephesus, Terrace Houses, House of Virgin Mary, St. john Basilica, and lunch at a great spot our tour guide took us. We were able to hit all the locations and not feel rushed. I originally emailed them directly to request the type of tour I wanted. Elif was very good to work with and answered emails in a timely manner. While some of my group wanted to see how rugs were made, this is a stop I would have skipped. It made for making it back to the port a little stressful. That said, the day was perfect and everyone in our group enjoyed it very much!
A Trusted Service for a Great Day

5.00We had a private tour with our guide Gicle Gundem, She was fantastic in asking us our preferences about the places visited. We visited Ephese, a copper coat workshop, a ceramic shop, the Virgin Mary's church and another site. We loved our experience. Gicle knew her suggestion very well, she adopted the speed of our group and made us have a very nice day. I also liked the Email Confirmation Service and follow-ups. We were confident. Thank you all for your excellent Service.

5.00Zeynep and Ephesus port tours provided us with a fantastic day in Kusadasis.. We had a very new 40 passenger bus for our large group (28 people and an 11 month old baby) She was extremely knowledgeable, funny and provided us with a great experience. We went to Ephesus in the morning, which was astounding, the House of the Virgin Mary and followed that up with farm to table lunch that was amazing. We finished our day with a tour of a Turkish Handmade Carpet factory. (It was right next to the restaurant). We learned all about the process to create the carpets which are really works of art. Disclosure, there was a sales presentation at the end but there was no pressure to buy and the entire process was very entertaining. We loved our entire day with Zeynep and Ephesus Port Tours.

5.00Our guide met us (a group of 7 older adults) as we got off the ship. Very easy and the van used for transport was comfortable and clean. We traveled to Ephesus and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Learned so much about the ancient city, the customs and culture of the people. Only advice is to wear comfortable shoes and use sunscreen!
Ephesus Port Tours is a great company to do business with

5.00There are several companies with similar names but careful research led us to Ephesus Port Tours. Our review is for an unusual reason but we felt it was important to share. We had planned to see Ephesus during a planned cruise stop at Kusadasi. We found Ephesus Port Tours because of all the rave reviews and found them incredibly prompt and helpful in modifying one of their tours, just for us. Now for the unusual part... due to Covid 19 we had to send an email to cancel and let them know how disappointed we were. We were impressed again at how promptly they replied and with such understanding and encouragement. Sometimes it's rare to receive such personalized help especially during a disappointing setback. It really showed us why they have earned such incredible reviews. Finally, to Elif and her colleagues, thank you for all your help and we look forward to finally meeting you and doing that tour.
