Biblical Ephesus Private Tour from Kusadasi ( Ephesus ) Port

Boz was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and modified our tour to our interests. I highly recommend him and would use his services again if I return to Turkey. He communicated well with me before and during the tour. We visited Ephesus, a handmade rug making facility that demonstrated how silk is removed from cocoons and how workers weave rugs, and a delicious farm to table restaurant.

Boz was truly an exceptional guide for our Bliblical Sites Tour of Ephesus! Our group of 10 have been long-time friends and wanted to get a lot of questions and details addressed -- and Boz more than fulfilled that, while making the tour fun on an exceptionally HOT July day! (He was good at finding great, shady spots to give us insights while walking the ruins of ancient Ephesus.) Some highlights were: -- Boz had memorized some of St. Paul's words that were spoken during his missionary trips to Ephesus and he "performed" them with passion, as Paul himself may have delivered them on that very site! -- He has spent time studying the history of Ephesus and had a lot of interesting knowledge to share -- You could tell that he enjoyed connecting with our group and making the tour relevant to what our interests were -- Boz's engaging personality kept us going on a hot, sweaty day and was sensitive to those in our group who needed to go at a bit slower pace. Perfect and kind ~ I can guarantee Boz will be one of the Top guides you encounter on your European travels... 5++ stars!

Boz was outstanding. My husband and I travel often with private guides and he wins the prize for best! So curious, engaging, knowledgeable, professional, caring, personable and funny. Also such a wonderful philosophy on life for a person his age. He reminded this group of retired people how we should all be approaching life and the gratitude we should have for it and all people. If we could give him 100 stars we would.

BOZ with Tours by Locals was absolutely phenomenal! He was thorough, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire experience. From the moment we met him, his upbeat personality and positive energy made our tour both fun and memorable. What truly stood out was how thoughtful and helpful he was with my mom, who is in a wheelchair. He went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and able to fully enjoy every part of the tour, which meant so much to our family. My siblings and I genuinely loved spending the day with him — his enthusiasm, warmth, and knowledge made the experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a guide who truly cares about his guests and delivers an exceptional experience, BOZ is the one to book. Highly, highly recommend!

Boz provided a great tour. He was flexible, offering alternatives and recommendations throughout the day to best structure our time. He brought us to the right places at the right times to avoid the long lines and crowds allowing us to see a lot in a short time. Boz has deep knowledge of the sites visited and all of the relevant history. Engaging personality and involved all six of us on a personal level. Ephesus is a must see! Farm to table lunch location was very good. Interesting demonstration of the art of producing silk and ultimately carpets, however hard sell/pressure by the “factory” to buy carpets and other products was overdone. Highly recommend Boz when visiting Kusadasi.

Fantastic tour! Boz is truly a wealth of knowledge, and was so genuine he felt like another family member joining our trip! Everything was very well organized, and we were able to get a lot done in our short time without feeling over stretched.
