IMPORTANT NOTICE: ⛔️ GROUP TOURS force you to follow fixed schedules and visit places based on their timing, regardless of your interests! You’re stuck with fast and slow travelers alike, having to keep up with the group. Plus, you have to pay all ENTRY FEES IN ADVANCE, whether you're interested in the sites or not. Why pay for places you don't want to visit and feel obligated to go just because you paid? ⛔️ ⚠️ Our PRIVATE TOURS give you the flexibility you need. Entry fees are not included, so you only pay for the places that genuinely interest you. In the morning, we discuss your interests and tailor the itinerary accordingly. ⚠️ ✳️ With our PRIVATE TOURS, you have complete control, visiting only the places you want to see. Would you rather spend your day WAITING FOR OTHER TRAVELERS and FOLLOWING A FIXED ITINERARY, or ENJOY A PRIVATE TOUR CUSTOMIZED JUST FOR YOUR FAMILY? The choice is yours! ✳️

5.00We had a lovely day with Nilay! She was on time to meet with us at the port and guide us to the driver with no hassle. We had a quick ride to Ephesus where she showed us all the highlights of the beautiful site, with lots of time for questions and at a comfortable pace in the heat. She went out of her way to take us to the terrace houses when we asked to see this site in addition to the rest of the Ephesus tour, and was very knowledgeable about all of the special elements of the visit. We also had a special stop at Selçuk to see traditional Turkish carpet weaving and enjoy a delicious traditional lunch at the cooperative. Thank you, Nilay!

5.00We were on Voyager of the seas for our Mediterranean cruise and this was an amazing tour. Fatima was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She helped us tailor our tour for what we wanted to do and see, and made sure we had lots of time for everything. We beat all of the crowds everywhere we went which was amazing for us. She also suggested the terrace houses (extra but worth it) and the virtual reality video at the end, and it really tied the whole Ephesus experience together. The school where they teach cultural cooking and rug weaving was super informative and the food was fantastic! We opted to have the museum tickets as part of our package and pay for lunch and it really streamlined our time. We had a really great day here in Kusadasi!
Would recommend over & over
