For Cruise Guests : Best of Ephesus Private Tour / Kusadasi Tours

We had an fabulous tour with Ulas. We were in port on Friday, October 28 and Ulas was waiting for us a we exited the terminal. This was a private tour for just my husband and myself. We had a lovely newer van and a great driver. Our guide was very informed on history, architecture, and the lives of the ancient Greeks. We would highly recommend this tour and ask for Ulas He was beyond excellent!

Our guide Banu and Selo our driver were excellent! We customized a private tour for 13 people (teens to grandparents) visiting Ephesus, Terrace Houses, House of Virgin Mary, St. john Basilica, and lunch at a great spot our tour guide took us. We were able to hit all the locations and not feel rushed. I originally emailed them directly to request the type of tour I wanted. Elif was very good to work with and answered emails in a timely manner. While some of my group wanted to see how rugs were made, this is a stop I would have skipped. It made for making it back to the port a little stressful. That said, the day was perfect and everyone in our group enjoyed it very much!

Zeynep and Ephesus port tours provided us with a fantastic day in Kusadasis.. We had a very new 40 passenger bus for our large group (28 people and an 11 month old baby) She was extremely knowledgeable, funny and provided us with a great experience. We went to Ephesus in the morning, which was astounding, the House of the Virgin Mary and followed that up with farm to table lunch that was amazing. We finished our day with a tour of a Turkish Handmade Carpet factory. (It was right next to the restaurant). We learned all about the process to create the carpets which are really works of art. Disclosure, there was a sales presentation at the end but there was no pressure to buy and the entire process was very entertaining. We loved our entire day with Zeynep and Ephesus Port Tours.

Our guide met us (a group of 7 older adults) as we got off the ship. Very easy and the van used for transport was comfortable and clean. We traveled to Ephesus and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Learned so much about the ancient city, the customs and culture of the people. Only advice is to wear comfortable shoes and use sunscreen!

There are several companies with similar names but careful research led us to Ephesus Port Tours. Our review is for an unusual reason but we felt it was important to share. We had planned to see Ephesus during a planned cruise stop at Kusadasi. We found Ephesus Port Tours because of all the rave reviews and found them incredibly prompt and helpful in modifying one of their tours, just for us. Now for the unusual part... due to Covid 19 we had to send an email to cancel and let them know how disappointed we were. We were impressed again at how promptly they replied and with such understanding and encouragement. Sometimes it's rare to receive such personalized help especially during a disappointing setback. It really showed us why they have earned such incredible reviews. Finally, to Elif and her colleagues, thank you for all your help and we look forward to finally meeting you and doing that tour.
