Extraordinary private tour

Extraordinary private tour with Mustafa. Extremely nice private vehicle and driver and incredibly informed and interesting guide. Gave great information for things we did on our own and gave a great tour of the Ephesus site itself. Highly recommended.

Simply the best Ephesus tour.

Our guide Zeynep, was nothing short of amazing. The transportation she arranged was excellent, the bus was clean and comfortable. The points of interest she helped us select were also wonderful. We stopped for lunch at a wonderful farm to table “agriturismo” kind of place where we ate family style, out doors, the weather was perfect for this. We visited a Turkish carpet facility where they were making the rugs by hand, using the old methods. It was fascinating to see the ladies in action. There was a sales pitch at the end, and if you wanted a Turkish carpet this WOULD have been the place to buy it. We didn’t want to buy a carpet and politely declined. If this was the price to pay for an enjoying a very traditional and well prepared Turkish meal, in an incredible setting…. Then it was worth it. Zeynep tailored every piece of our tour down to the speed we went along the way. Her knowledge of the area is encyclopedic and her resources are amazing. At each stop she had already checked with other guides to determine the crowds we would encounter and kept either ahead of or just after the crowds so that fen though we had 3 major cruise ships in port we still avoided the worst crowds. Wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the cats. Zeynep carries a discrete container or cat food and the kitties all know her and love her. They come running when they see her and she offers them some food. Our kids loved the cats as much as the magnificent ruins we saw. If you’re in Kusidasi or Ephesus and looking for a guide, you’ve found her.

Stunning ruins and Traditional carpet making.

Our tour guide had great knowledge of the ruins, we were able to tailor-make the tour to suit us. The lunch spot was at a lovely local restaurant in the countryside with a Turkish carpet making showroom attached, the demonstration was amazing to see the work involved in producing the rugs in the traditional way.

Excellent tour with a wonderful guide.

This is an excellent company. There were six of us and they worked to tailor the tour to our specifications. They were always very prompt in responding to my many questions. The tour was excellent, the price very reasonable, and our tour guide (Isik) one of the best ever. I highly recommend Ephesus Port Tours and want to thank them for a job well done. Ed Kringer

Best tour ever.

WONDERFUL TOUR AND BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! Burat was articulate, knowledgable, funny and so involved in making sure my wife, who was on an electric scooter, had the best possible tour of Ephesus. No pressure to patronize any commercial activity. Leisurely lunch of local treats. As an ancient history buff, I was flabbergasted that I would enjoy Ephesus more than I enjoyed Pompeii or the Acropolis!
