5.00Our visit to Kusadasi was a highlight of our Mediterranean vacation. Ahmet was our guide and he was incredible! We had 2 wheelchair users in our group and he was very helpful with making sure we could experience as much as possible. Our excursion included a delicious and authentic meal served family style and an overview of rug making. I can’t recommend this tour and Ahmet enough! Great value and time well spent!

5.00My wife and I recently had the privilege of visiting the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey with Ahu, the most wonderful Kusadasi Tour Guide ever. It was truly an experience of a lifetime. As we stepped into this historical wonderland, we felt as though we were transported back in time, surrounded by the remnants of civilizations past. Ahu knows everything there is to know about the region and Turkey in general, and she has this ability to weave all these historical events into magical stories that left us hanging on her every words! Our visit to the House of the Virgin Mary was a poignant moment, offering a serene escape amidst the bustling ruins. Did a video call with my parents, who are devout Catholics, and even remotely they were deeply touched by the serenity and the historicity of the place. The moment we entered the Ephesus archaeological site, we were struck by the marbled ruins of the road culminating to the grandeur of the Library of Celsus, its facade gleaming in the sunlight. What made our trip truly special was the warmth and hospitality of the Turkish people. Berkay, our Guide in Istanbul, made us felt at home even before we landed with his awesome attentiveness and amazing efforts to make us feel safe and have the experience of our lifetimes! I had to postpone my trip for 3 months, and Berkay was right there with us along with re-arranging the accommodations and the flights, and did it perfectly. He took us to shopping hidden-gems and delicious local cuisine to the vibrant markets, every moment was filled with joy and discovery.
Ephesus with guide Ahmet was a fabulous day!
