Exceptional tour. Inan, our guide met us at the port entrance and started the tour immediately as we walked to our car and driver. Inan was extremely knowledgeable about history, archeology and the most important venues to see and visit. Inan was able to avoid large crowds at different sites by calling ahead and rearranging the order of our tour. He customized our tour to make the most of our time and was extremely friendly and flexible. Lunch was in an old style restaurant and the food was delicious. Best tour ever! Thank you Inan.
This turned out to be the best tour of our vacation. It was just the two of us, the tour guide, and the driver. It included Mary's House, Ephesus, the Terrace houses, a few other places, and lunch. There was nothing extra except the tip. Yes, it did include a visit to the carpet store, but this was very short and not high pressure. Our tour guide, Levent, was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about history as well as current events and just was a nice guy. His English was very good. I would highly recommend this tour and while I'm sure some of the other guides are also very good, I hope you get Levent!
This is a great place to visit and we loved the sites and city of Kusadasi. The day was extremely hot and one should bring an umbrella or hat for shade. Our guide was informative but very difficult to understand with his accent. In fact, most of us in the tour group, missed a lot of information because he spoke so quickly and with a thick Turkish accent. Often, he would say, go and explore for 20 minutes on your own. When, we compared our tour with our friends, who had booked the same tour with a different guide, we felt disappointed. Their guide had explained and showed many other facts that ours hadn't and their guide stayed with them the entire tour. Also, lunch was included in our tour and our guide didn't know that. In my opinion, Viator needs to regulate and have guidelines for their tour guides making sure, first and foremost, that their English is understandable and their itinerary is consistent.
Our guide, Taylen, was great and very informative. Wish we could have spent more time there.
This tour is very special especially if your a Christian. We visited the biblical sites in Ephesus. The ruins of Ephesus had the Great Theater where the apostle Paul preached of Jesus to the Gentiles. Our private guide, Bill was very knowledgeable of the history in Ephesus. I would definatley recommend this tour
