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 an amazing time on our tour of Ephesus! Josh was an incredible tour guide. Ephesus is breathtaking and a must see. Josh went above and beyond to get me back to our ship safely when I fell ill halfway through the tour. Then he entertained my husband and daughters for the rest of the afternoon. He taught them about the culture and the highlight was the Turkish ice cream! They raved about Kusadasi and it was definitely one of their favorite cruise ship stops. I highly recommend Josh and this tour company! Super professional, nice, and really gave us a flavor of Turkey culture.
