Private Ephesus Guide And Driver Tour From Kusadası Port

My experiences with the tour company were likely the most fulfilling and most affordable way for me to experience not only the scores of ancient sites we visited, but also Türkiye and its culture and history. Our guide Serdar went above and beyond his responsibilities and provided me and my fellow students with a detailed and in depth understanding of every site and town we visited. Beyond being informative Serdar was exceedingly warm and forthcoming about his own opinions and experiences in regards to growing up in Türkiye, which for me was genuinely heartwarming. I don’t think I speak for just myself when I say we were all sad to see him part ways with our company on the last day, and I personally wish I could have spoken with him more. Our driver Ali was equally warm and amenable as he catered to many of our needs throughout the trip whether they be unexpected or basic, the drive was always smooth and timely. Having the security in mind of an itinerary and knowing I was in such good hands made it to where I could truly soak in what I was experiencing as much as possible and I will forever be grateful for that.

If there ever was a true 5 star experience, this was it! We had such a fabulous two week trip ! From Istanbul to Ephesus and Kusadasi, from Pommaccle to Antalya, and from Cappadocia back to Istanbul, we experienced so much ! And we owe it all to Meltem as she worked with us to plan it out and then made all the connections that made our stay stress free. All the guides, the drivers, meals, airport connections were all handled by Meltem !! Right from the start she was so good at responding to all our questions and making suggestions where needed. Then once we were in Turkey she made sure all the pieces came together and all we had to do is receive her text each evening !! Meltem is truly a professional and so rewarding to work with!!! As I said, an undeniable 5 star!!

Amazing time in Ephesus with our guide Nafia! Everywhere we went other guides told us she was the best and we believe it. We learned so much and enjoyed our time in Turkey.

The trip was amazing with excellent views and attractions. Sibel was the person in charge of our tour and did everything perfectly.

Gul was an excellent guide catered to our personal likings and was full of knowledge and fun facts! Perfect visit to Ephesus! It was very hot, they had cold water and sun umbrellas ready for is in car!

My husband and I had an amazing day with Nafia - she is fantastic!! What an amazing guide … so knowledgeable, passionate, thoughtful, and patient. I feel like I have a new friend … it was hard to say goodbye. There was so much more than just Ephesus- which is fantastic- locally immersive experiences and a wonderful traditional Turkish lunch :) Thank you Nafia!!

Excellent tour, wonderful and very knowledgable tour guide. The driver was great. Beautiful sights to see

We really enjoyed our trip and the arrangement of our tours. The guides were very nice and professional. The transportations was on time and comfortable we really recommend it.

14 in our group. Visited, Cappadoccia, Kusadasi, Euphesus, Pamukkale, Istanbul and Bursa. Hakan did a great job in arranging our tour from start to finish. Tour guides were amazing especially Oguzhan in Cappadoccia and Osman in Istanbul. They were very knowledgeable and courteous and friendly. The buses were very comfortable. Everyone was on time, the buses, guides. Did not have to wait on long lines. Our tour was very well planned. I would recommend them to anyone planning to go to Turkey

Our family had the best experience in Turkey. I can highly recommend Turkey by Locals based on our family experience. We immensely appreciate how the company organized our 21 day private tour. When we arrived to Izmir Airport, we were even welcomed and then transferred with a private limousine to our following activities. During our overall stay, we had exceptionally knowledgeable tour guides about the history and culture of the country with proficient English. We visited historical sites and iconic landscapes of Turkey. We had the most amazing service and comfort during our trip to Ephesus, house of Virgin Mary, Pamukkale, Hierapolis Ancient City, Cappadocia, İstanbul, etc. I also wanted to point out the amazing gastronomy and culinary culture of the country. I wanted to recognize Hakan Dursun- Turkey İstanbul Tours who was responsible of organizing this outstanding trip for my family. I would defiantly recommend this experience.

Nafia was amazing! We had such an amazing day in Ephesus! From the moment I contacted Hakan for more info it was a pleasant experience. So easy to book. They had no problem with a 9am pickup time instead of 8am since we are not early risers. And the price was so good I thought we must be with others on this tour.. but no! It was just our group of 4. We had no trouble finding Nafia holding a sign with our names when we disembarked our cruise ship and the air conditioned van was great. Nafia was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions with ease. We really enjoyed her company for the day! We were also pleasantly surprised that lunch was included (and delicious)! We toured a carpet factory/store and also a ceramic pottery store. All of which had amazing Turkish hospitality. We paid a little more than originally quoted but that could have been due to currency fluctuations or the fact that lunch was included and instead of a 4 hour tour we were out for 6-7 hours! Originally quoted €48/p (for 4 ppl) vs. €55/p we actually paid. I’d say it was well worth it! And if you get the chance ask for Nafia to be your guide because she is amazing!

Ceyda, our guide and our driver provided a wonderful experience for us. We were only in Kusadasi one day and loved our tour of Ephesus and an authentic dinner. Ceyda spoke excellent English and her knowledge of the area and Ephesus was appreciated. We learned a great deal while having an incredible experience which we will remember for years. Thank you for this great Tour. I also must mention that Ceyda and the driver accommodated our request to add on the terraced houses to the tour and customized it for us. The terraced houses were the best part of Ephesus and not to be missed!

Neopolis travel was incredible in the service that they provided. They planned our guided tour around our schedule and facilitated our pick up from the airport and to our hotel in Bodrum a few days later without any problems. The hotel that they recommended was top notch and the restaurant reservation was also 10/10. I would recommend them to any friend that wants to visit the area.

We decided to hire a private guide and it was the best decision of our trip. Nafia is simply amazing. From the first minute we felt like a close friend was showing us around the sites. She did everything she could to make this a memorable trip for my family. This was a true highlight of our vacation - and it’s all because of Nafia!! Communication with Hakan was amazing and went as smoothly as anyone could hope. We visited many countries on this cruise and the one place the family agreed we want to see again is Turkey. Thanks for such a memorable day!!

Hakan, the organizer, our tour guides and drivers were all wonderful. We we transported in clean and comfortable mercedes vans and enjoyed hearing lots of historical and regional information. We had plenty of time to enjoy the ruins and shop for souvenirs along the way. The local lunch spots they selected were great picks and I was happy to enjoy fresh and locally made cuisines. I highly recommend this tour company and thank them for making our trip so memorable and fun.

My family and I booked our trip to the beautiful country of Turkey. Our trip was fantastic, we received exceptional service through out our tour. Look forward to booking with them again! Tolbert- Atlanta Georgia USA
