5.00Our guide Zeynep, was nothing short of amazing. The transportation she arranged was excellent, the bus was clean and comfortable. The points of interest she helped us select were also wonderful. We stopped for lunch at a wonderful farm to table “agriturismo” kind of place where we ate family style, out doors, the weather was perfect for this. We visited a Turkish carpet facility where they were making the rugs by hand, using the old methods. It was fascinating to see the ladies in action. There was a sales pitch at the end, and if you wanted a Turkish carpet this WOULD have been the place to buy it. We didn’t want to buy a carpet and politely declined. If this was the price to pay for an enjoying a very traditional and well prepared Turkish meal, in an incredible setting…. Then it was worth it. Zeynep tailored every piece of our tour down to the speed we went along the way. Her knowledge of the area is encyclopedic and her resources are amazing. At each stop she had already checked with other guides to determine the crowds we would encounter and kept either ahead of or just after the crowds so that fen though we had 3 major cruise ships in port we still avoided the worst crowds. Wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the cats. Zeynep carries a discrete container or cat food and the kitties all know her and love her. They come running when they see her and she offers them some food. Our kids loved the cats as much as the magnificent ruins we saw. If you’re in Kusidasi or Ephesus and looking for a guide, you’ve found her.

5.00Our tour guide had great knowledge of the ruins, we were able to tailor-make the tour to suit us. The lunch spot was at a lovely local restaurant in the countryside with a Turkish carpet making showroom attached, the demonstration was amazing to see the work involved in producing the rugs in the traditional way.
Excellent tour with a wonderful guide.

5.00This is an excellent company. There were six of us and they worked to tailor the tour to our specifications. They were always very prompt in responding to my many questions. The tour was excellent, the price very reasonable, and our tour guide (Isik) one of the best ever. I highly recommend Ephesus Port Tours and want to thank them for a job well done. Ed Kringer

5.00WONDERFUL TOUR AND BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! Burat was articulate, knowledgable, funny and so involved in making sure my wife, who was on an electric scooter, had the best possible tour of Ephesus. No pressure to patronize any commercial activity. Leisurely lunch of local treats. As an ancient history buff, I was flabbergasted that I would enjoy Ephesus more than I enjoyed Pompeii or the Acropolis!
Highly Recommend!!!

5.00We absolutely LOVED this tour!!! Our guide Leyla was fantastic, friendly, informative & professional. She took us everywhere we wanted to go and spent the entire day with us. She was super easy to find when we got off of the cruise ship. The van was very nice, clean & comfortable. This was such an inexpensive tour for the amount of time they spent with us. I can’t recommend this enough, BOOK IT!!!
A private tour worth having!!!!!

5.00What a wonderful time we had in Ephesus! Our Viator guide was just a delight. We we’re picked up in a brand new limo by our driver, and immediately our guide began to orient us to Turkey and what we were going to see that day. Everything we wanted to cover, we did in great detail. First we visited Mary’s house, which was very meaningful to us. Then we headed out to the remains in the city of Ephesus. Wow. The area was enormous, but we felt like we saw it all, and our guide educated us about everything along the way. I can imagine walking through on your own would be overwhelming, but our guide made the fascinating history relatable. After Ephesus, we went to a co-op where local produce was used in a delicious authentic Turkish meal. There we visited a rug making school and learned about the art of making beautiful Turkish rugs. It was a great day and one I will always remember. From now on, if we can use Viator for our cruise ship tours, we will. This was an A+ experience all the way around, and we couldn’t have been more pleased.
