PRIVATE EPHESUS TOURS -- SHORE EXCURSIONS from KUSADASI ( EPHESUS ) PORT. Hello from Kusadasi, Ephesus. This is Boz, one of the licensed professional tour guides in Kusadasi ( Ephesus ). l have been working in the tourism sector more than 25 years in different agencies in Kusadasi. l was born and raised in Kusadasi, very closed to Ephesus. I organize and conduct Private Tours to Ephesus, Kusadasi and surroundings, for groups or individual travelers. It is a great pleasure that l welcome you to my new section of exclusive private tours and excursions. You've come to the right person if you're looking for a personalized Ephesus tour just for you and your traveling companions. My concept is to consider you as guests, give you all the best and quality service to make you satisfied during your trip in my country. I am a professional and experienced tour guide and I want to provide my guests with the most unforgettable travel experience of their life. It's a privilege to visit Ephesus with a private guide and nobody can know Ephesus better than a local tour guide. Sincerely Boz Some Advantages of My Private Tours Instead of Rigidly Timed Bus Tours • First, you can ask everything directly to your own private tour guide and get the answers instantly. • You do not have to stop your tour if one fellow gets ill or fell down in big groups in the ruins. Because the guide of the big groups has to care with this person. Your tour will come unbearable although it might be your only day in Turkey. • My tour prices are more reasonable than cruise shore tours, although our tours are consist of same quality of vans and tour guide. Why you pay more? • With a large groups, you are dependant to their schulede. But in a private tour, you do not have to follow any of the program, you decide what you would like to see and skip some of them or add more. Because my tours are based on my guests' needs and interests. • In large groups, sometimes tour guides skip the most interesting details in a sight because it might be impossible to show it to everyone in a large group. • In a private tour, you do not have to wait all the group with about 30-40 people who have different interests, try to take a picture of everything and usually stay behind the group. • In a private tour, while visiting the ruins you do not wait for a long time in lines to get ticket or get into the ruins or museums. Because your private tour guide will make everything ready for you. • If you can not hear the guide in a large group or you fall behind because the pace is too fast, you are just out of luck. • In a private tour, you can communicate much better and interact with local people instead of just reading from your guide book and trying to figure out your way. • You can decide when you want to start and conclude your tour. Because this is your own private tour. • You can give a break to take picture, to eat or drink something, for shopping when and where ever you want during your private tour. • You do not have to share a bus with 40 people. In my private tours, you will have your own private A/C Vehicle.

Our tour with Boz was amazing! Our customized tour included a multi-generational rug weaving center where we learned how silk is made, watched a rug-making demonstration, and had the opportunity to walk barefoot across a variety of beautiful handmade rugs. Visited the House of the Virgin Mary which many historians and religious scholars believe this to be the place where Mary spent her final years. Traveled to Ephesus to explore the amazing ruins. Enjoyed a delicious traditional Turkish meal. Visited a pottery workshop, where we watched a potter demonstrate his craft and looked at all their beautiful pottery. Saw the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The final stops were a leather store with so many beautiful handcrafted items and then to a shop filled with Turkish Delight and other local specialties. It was an amazing day, and I highly recommend Tours By Locals. Boz was fantastic. He took us to all the places we wanted to see while allowing plenty of time to explore and enjoy each stop at our own pace.

Boz was an exceptional guide. He is so passionate about Kusadasi and so keen for his tour groups to experience as much of its history, culture and way of life as possible. He was funny and entertaining and patient enough to go at the pace of our slowest group member. We learnt so much about Ephesus and had a fabulous day. Boz arranged for us to visit a Turkish carpet factory where we watched the meticulous and time-consuming manufacture by hand of Turkish carpets by some staff. He also took us to a ceramics manufacturer where we watched a decanter being made and another being painted. Their showroom contained beautiful pieces. And our trip to the leather manufacturers was a lot of fun as we were treated to a runway show. I could not rate Boz more highly and would recommend him to anyone wanting to tour Ancient Ephesus and Kusadasi.

We had an amazing day in Ephesus because of Boz! We learned so much, visited all the places we requested plus more. He is very knowledgeable, accommodating and personable. He understands the need of some free time and took us to a special place for lunch away from crowds. Highly recommend him!

Boz was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed touring with Boz and he did a marvelous job avoiding crowds. We felt that we saw everything we wanted to see, no pressure in the pottery artisan's shop and no pressure at the Turkish carpet manufacturer. Great lunch at the carpet factory.

Boz was so amazing, I WILL take his name and contact details back home with me to share with my friends! We started with the Typical Tourist Attraction of Ancient Ephesus. He pointed out SO much that we would have missed in our own or even with a guide from our cruise company. (We talked with others over dinner on the cruise.... Theirs was good. BOZ was better!) He then personalized the rest of the day just for us!!!! Please consider him (and the cost) if you are on a big cruise ship!!!! Amazing Day! (And his English is easily understood!)

Boz was fantastic!!! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. Loved his stories that tied in with the history. He took us to a little known restaurant for lunch / the local food was amazing and we loved every minute with him. Would totally recommend this tour and specifically Boz!!

Ephesus Ancient City is far to Kusadasi Port around 15 miles. That's why we will need a van which I will arrange for you according to the size of your group. It will be an air-conditioned van with a driver. I can arrange a bigger vehicle if you are more than 10 people.
