Outstanding tour with Banu!

5.00Banu was an outstanding guide. 3 adults booked the tour through Viator as a cruise excursion. Banu started by confirming the things we wanted to see, with good suggestions based on the time we had. She strategically took us first to the locations that would be crowded later, after the buses and crowds arrived, and that made it possible for us to see more of the sights (vs. waiting in lines and having hundreds of people in photos). She was very informative and extremely friendly. I highly recommend her for your visit to Kasudasi.
Perfect way to see Ephesus

5.00The tour was perfect. Goksu was waiting for us at the port to take us to the van. Nice large air-conditioning van with very friendly driver. He proceeded to take us to the site and had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the site but also his country and could answer all our questions. He obviously has a passion for his job and it shows. we enjoyed the tour and we put the tailor it to our likings. Recommend this tour if you don’t want to be in a tour bus waiting for people to come back from beach stop
Perfect port tour with Ayse

5.00Highly personalized tour! Ayse, our guide, was extremely attentive and compassionate. If you have mobility challenges, you can feel comfortable booking with Ephesus Tours. We were able to experience the highlights of Ephesus and visit local businesses with no pressure to buy. Even the carpet-making school was no pressure! Great driver. Saba, the tour operator, communicated as soon as we booked on Viator, and was easy to connect with throughout our journey. Their office is located at the port, so they know when the ships will arrive even before the passengers do.

5.00Amazing private tour in Kudasi and Ephesus! Our guide Fatih wanted to share his country and culture with us and he delivered. He was well educated and informative and showed us a side of Turkey we never knew. The Turkish rug making co op was educational and beautiful. He recommended both historical and cultural experiences that were all wonderful. We highly recommend this tour and especially Fatih.
Rugs to ruins - a wonderful short day trip.

5.00Interesting insight into the area history and culture. The ruins of Ephesus are similar to others from that period, but because of the incline not recommended for those with limited mobility. I loved learning about the hand craft of rugs; wool, cotton, silk.
