Hello from Ephesus / Kusadasi My name is Erkan who is an official licenced tourist guide living and working in Kusadasi / Ephesus. Come and be my guest to the city that I love. I have been practising guiding since 2010, working with cruise ships, college students, V. I. P. s, incentive tours, tourist agencies and individual travellers. If you join one of my tours, we can share a real travelling experience, visit the archaeological sites and museums, learn about the history and culture of Turkey, discover all the hidden treasures of Ephesus Ancient City, taste the local cuisine, meet the locals and above all have fun. Just let me show you Ephesus through my eyes. You can browse my tours or together we create your own customized tour. I am looking forward to meeting you and showing you my lovely country. I promise you an authentic and most enjoyable tour!! It is always a great pleasure and a privilege to show my country and especially Ephesus, my home city, to all visitors! Your Sincerely, Erkan IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CRUISE GUESTS : I highly recommend you to meet after 30 / 45 minutes the ship docked to port in order to beat crowds from cruise ships, school buses and hot weather. NOTE : I DO NOT GIVE TOURS FROM IZMIR - Professional Licensed Tour Guide - Member of Union of Tourist Guides' Chambers - We have a family tour company ONBOARD TRAVEL ( Tursab No 9293 ) and I give all my tours by our company. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CRUISE GUESTS : I highly recommend you to meet after 30 / 45 minutes the ship docked to port in order to beat crowds from cruise ships, school buses and hot weather.

Overview of your Kusadasi tour

Welcome to Ephesus when your ship docked to Kusadasi Port. During this amazing full day tour you will see all the most popular sights and experience the best parts of the city with a local guide. We'll see all of the things you would see on an ordinary tour - they're certainly worthwhile. But I will also show you the special things that make Ephesus great.

Erkan was a fabulous tour guide. She gave us great suggestions on what to see and always asked us if we wanted to add any stops. We stayed as long or as short as we wanted at each location. Erkan’s knowledge of each site including Emphesus was 2nd to none. We highly recommend Erkan!!!

Zeynep was great! She is very knowledgeable, as well as being very personable and very high energy. She gave us a lot of flexibility as far as the tour arrangements went. We would absolutely all on her again if we get back to Kusadasi.

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Erkan during the Ephesus full day tour. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the background of the various sites, she also has a great personality and made it feel as though we were exploring with a personal friend. She explained the entire itinerary as we started the tour and gave us numerous options so we could tailor the tour to do the things we like. She made changes on the go to avoid crowds. We also felt like we had a professional photographer with us since she knows all the best picture spots and she took great pictures using our phones! Last but not least, the driver she uses was excellent-we never waited for him, he was friendly, and the van was modern and spotless. Both Erkan and the driver made our visit to Ephesus a perfect day! Definitely use her for your tour!

Zaynep has an incredible personality. She is very animated and you will enjoy your time with her. She met us at the cruise port and took us on a short walk to meet an air conditioned van and driver. During the drive she shared her knowledge of Turkey and it's history. She will customize the tour to your liking. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. You will want to confirm that admission prices to the attractions have not changed.

This was the first time booking a non cruise line tour, even though we have done over 60 tours with TBL. We had been to Kusadasi a few months ago and did the Oceania ship tour. It was not good. Our tour with Erkan was 1,000x better. She customized our tour , she was on time, extremely informative, and brought us back to the pier in plenty of time to get back on the ship. We enjoyed spending the day with her and highly recommend her services. We hope to see her again on our next trip to Turkey.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Van

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.
