Kusadasi Shore Excursion: Ephesus Tour For Cruisers From Kusadasi Port

This was an exceptional private tour with Bilgesu, an amazing tour guide, and our great driver Ömer!! Bilgesu was super knowledgable and sweet. Great English. She gave us all the options to make it our own personalized day, including Ephesus and Mother Mary’s house. Look her up if you’re in Kusadasi, more than worth the money.

Our guide and driver were very gracious, helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend the tour. Every stop was at family businesses who also were so kind and informative. We learned alot about Turkey, the culture, history and people's. Would definitely recommend this day tour for anyone short on time.

Very good guide and driver, took us to all the great places and very informative. Highly recommend. Carpet shop and pottery shop were amazing.

The private Ephesus tour arranged through Viator went very smoothly. The pickup was as scheduled and transportation was in a new Mercedes van. Although the Ephesus tour with the Terrace Houses was the major stop, other stops were included, and we added a local lunch. Very flexible and entertaining working with the our knowledgeable guide Hakan.

One of the best tours we have ever had. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He made our tour an extraordinary experience. We cannot recommend him or Viator highly enough!!!

Had the best tour on our trip today with Ephesus Port Tours. The lovely Ozge was our tour guide and she was awesome all around, knowledgeable, English was great, stopped at all key place and gave us time to explore. Great lunch in the middle gave needed break from the heat. This is a tour you should not miss, and highly recommend you request Ozge as your guide for the day.

Becareful. Our car had a driver and a tour guide. We went to a museum which was good. But then, they took us to a carpet store and olive store and in each one we were backed into an area and they tried to sell us things. After two tries of this, we had them return us to the ship as we felt uncomfortable.

We toured with Hanry who was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was evident he really enjoyed his job and speaking about his culture to others. He made arrangements for us to visit what appealed to us and we had a great time. Definitely would recommend touring with Hanry!

The Ephesus site is absolutely worth visiting. The experience is largely determined by the guide. The history was brought to life by our guide Matthew . He is extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a thorough overview of the site with a friendly and pleasant demeanor. We also visited the House of the Virgin Mary and the Basilica of St John topped off by a delicious lunch. Transportation was very comfortable in a new Mercedes limousine with separate driver.

This tour was much more than I expected. Since it was private, Fatih, the guide was very flexible and accommodating. He really knew his history and was great at explaining everything. The ancient city of Ephesus was just stunning. I highly recommend this tour and Fatih as your guide. Just the right amount of walking in combo with the comfortable car we had. 5 stars - A+++++ all the way. Thanks Fatih for a very memorable experience.

Our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and adapted our tour to our needs. Was lovely to see carpets being made and hand painted pottery with a traditional lunch. Was more than we expected.

Very knowledgeable guide. The only draw back was taking us to a rug factory when we did not ask and we got bombarded for well over an hour to buy something.

We took Private tour with English Guide . Our Guide had full knowledge of the city and she covered almost everything in this City in our time. She was so easy to work with. We got brand new Mercedez van ,Very clean and tidy. Driver was also very cooperative. We would highly recommend this tour to be taken.

Our visit to Kusadasi was very good. Our guide Isik was great. She was very informative and didn't inundate us with too much information - which is key. So many tours like this (rich in history) can become overwhelming to visitors (us) - when made to understand the historical relevance to the site. She was very aware (intuitive) of our absorption level and tailored her information delivery to keep us engaged. The visit to the ruins was nice, followed by a nice lunch and visit to a rug shop where we were able to see how quality rugs are made. Overall, it was one of my favorite stops of our trip, likely because of our experience with Isik. It is nice not to feel overwhelmed.

I would highly recommend Ephesus Port Tours. They are very easy to work with, friendly and welcoming. Lovely people!

Ephesus Port Tours is very easy company to deal with, has exceptional customer service, provided prompt confirmation and catered to our specific needs. Highly recommended. They are the best.

We didn't get to go on this tour because of the pandemic however, this organization handled my cancellation beautifully. If all goes well we will make the same trip around the same time next year, will go on this tour and I'll update this review to say whether the tour guide is as good as the office people. I bet that they are!

Extremely easy to book...very quick responses...unfortunately, our trip was cancelled due to COVID19, but the company was extremely accommodating and understanding...I hope to rebook in the near future.

We were not able to go on our tour but the company was so helpful from the initial booking to the final cancellation. Very prompt service. We hope to rebook our trip and we will definitely be using them again.
