5.00Metimp was a great guide, very knowledgeable. He was not pushy to go to shops- which we appreciated. The tour was soo much better than a large group tour , would highly recommend

5.0010/10!!!! We had Ulas as our tour guide and while we didn’t know what to expect in Kusadasi, we cannot stop RAVING about how amazing our day was with him. We got to see a fashion show for a local leather store, how carpet is made, and got to visit Espesus. My daughter and I are of the Christian faith so we asked Ulas if he could elaborate on that part as well. Not only was he knowledgeable about the history of the city, but he was super eager to tell us the biblical history. Best tour guide we could have asked for! Engaging and you can tell he GENUINELY loves his job and is excited to have you!
Great private tour

5.00Very nice tour, the inky thing I would change is not to go to the rug sales place, it was a high pressure sales pitch
Kusadasi Tour For Anyone! The Best by Ephesus Port Tours!!

5.00First off, this tour IS NOT for Cruisers only. Anyone in the area could secure. But as it was, we sailed in on Enchanted Princess. We prefer to book our own excursions and not pay the bloated ship rates. Keep in mind, when you book via the cruise, you only move as fast as the slowest person in your group. And there are some unhealthy and slow passengers on these ship excursions with tons of people - all wanting to move at their own pace. Everything was communicated by email and WhatsApp messaging with Elif. She is a great communicator. Our private guide for the day was Necla Gungor. She is a lovely lady. A native of the area. Speaks excellent English. We had a very affordable day together. Elif arranged for us to be with Necla, along with a private driver who owned an excellent vehicle. Most importantly, he had and used his excellent Air Conditioning. All this provided for great value and tour of this lovely city. During the week, we took five tours in seven days. This was by far the best. Were Necla to live in the USA, I could imagine us being friends (she’s younger). We’re an active couple in our mid 50s and she was great about allowing us to go where we wanted, spend the amount of time we desired, and answered all questions thoroughly. If you have plans to visit the city of Ephesus, ask for Necla when you book.
Unforgettable Experience with an Exceptional Guide in Ephesus!

5.00Our recent visit to Ephesus wouldn't have been the same without the incredible expertise and friendliness of our guide Burak Ocal of Ephesus Port Tours. From start to finish, the tour was excellent. We were picked up from our hotel in a brand-new air conditioned Mercedes Van. While walking around Ephesus was very hot, it was nice to be taken place to place in a very comfortable vehicle. What impressed us most was Burak’s ability to adapt and modify the tour to our group's special interests and preferences. He has extensive knowledge of the history and culture, and made our tour an unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend him and Ephesus Port Tours highly enough!
Interesting and fun visit of Ephesus and surroundings

5.00Our tour of Ephesus with Banu was what we expected and more! Banu was extremely knowledgeable. We saw and learned a lot! We loved the flexibility of having our own private guide and driver. Banu proposed different choices of visits, activities and shopping, leaving us to decide which ones corresponded to our interests. We had lots of fun and laugh too! We would for sure recommend Banu and Ephesus Port Tours for your Ephesus’s visit!
Best private guide ever - lots to see

5.00Our guide Eida was perhaps the most knowledgable private guide we have hired in 16 cruises. We had both been to Ephesus before in April 2004 and felt we had a good tour but this one was exceptional. Our guide spoke near perfect English and was easy to understand. She was well versed in the religions of the world and how they related to the sights we were visiting. She picked us up at 7:30AM in a new modern Ford van with high ceiling that could have seated 12 easily even though we were only 4. We got to the house of Mary before the crowds and then proceeded to Ephesus, again just as the big buses were arriving. She explained every aspect of the antiquities and allowed us to choose what we wanted to see. From there we visited a ceramics shop and a confectionary before having lunch in an outdoor setting. By 2:30PM, we decided we had enough although she was willing to stay with us until 5PM. The total cost for 4 including lunch, admissions to historic sights and tip was about $110 per person. By the end, we felt like we had known Eida for years and parted with very warm feelings. This was an excellent experience.
Great personalized tour

5.00We visited Kusadasi on a cruise. We chose Ephesus Port Tours to get a private tour of the Ephesus ruins. Our guide Marci was great. Lots of energy and information. You can tell that she loves what she does and it makes the tour that much more enjoyable. They have lots of options for customizing tours. In the planning process, they were quick to answer questions and provide information via email. I would highly recommend them for shore excursions from Kusadasi.
Highly recommend!

5.00We had a great tour with our guide, Kaya. He was extremely knowledgeable but didn’t overload us with too much information. Kaya and the driver, whose name escapes me, were both friendly and courteous and enjoyed showing us the sites of magnificent Ephesus. For a private tour, it was most affordable. I would definitely recommend Ephesus Port Tours. Ask for Kaya!
