“Book this experience! Funda is a phenomenal guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and excellent at explaining history in a way that resonates with all age ranges. As cruisers, we were initially nervous about exploring a new country, but the communication during the booking process was seamless and kept us updated every step of the way. This tour completely relieved our worries. My daughter and I share a love for history, culture, and architecture, and this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The logistics were perfect: transportation was quick, and Funda tailored the itinerary to our preferences so we saw everything on our wish list. The food was delicious, and the carpet demonstration was a...”

Review of a Kusadasi shore tour to Ephesus, Mary's House, and Artemis with tickets, port transfers, guide, and on-time cruise return.
“The clear communication prior to the tour with the smooth coordination was fantastic. However I would like to point out some things that did not make this tour as good as expected. After comparing all possible tours from all the tour operators, I carefully choose this tour through Viator from Kusadasi Shore Excursions as the description on the Viator side about this tour is very inspiring. We visited the Virgin Mary's house first and thereafter Ephesus. The tour description states that we would have 2 hours in Ephesus, however after 67 minutes we were out of there. By the (to us) most important monument in Ephesus we were told to hurry as we…”

“Book with Tas for your Ephasus tour to get the best experience. Seeing Ephasus and the Virgin Mary house was one of the highlights of our cruise. Our tour guide Tas had so much knowledge of the biblical history of the area. His explanations really helped us understand what it was like to live in those times. Tas was interesting and informative, entertaining and patient with all our questions. Tas has traveled extensively around the world and so he understands what it’s like to be a tourist, which makes for an excellent guide. Tas is very organized and a very good communicator, so we knew exactly where and when to…”

“Would highly recommend this option for a tailor made tour of Ephesus and other major sites in the area. Our guide, Ali, was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and attentive. The pace was as we desired and he offered many options as much as was reasonable. The stop for lunch was great but felt a slight bit of pressure to purchase a rug that we weren’t quite prepared to consider. Otherwise I found our experience extremely interesting and informative.”

“Fabulous trip to Ephesus, a very hot day but great to have a wonderful guide and beautiful air conditioned van.

“Our family took this tour during our cruise, and it was one of the best experiences of the trip. Pickup at the port was super easy, right as we walked out, someone was waiting with our name. We met our guide, Ozzy, and our driver, and headed straight to Ephesus. We started at the top of the site and walked our way down. Ozzy did a great job balancing between keeping us moving while giving us plenty of time to explore and take pictures. He was amazing, his knowledge of the area was impressive, and he shared it in a way that was both informative and engaging. The site itself…”

“Our guide Kutai/Diego was excellent, the whole tour in Spanish, avoided the lines in Ephesus, took us to the house of the Virgin Mary, always giving free time so that we could shop and see the places in our path and without pressure. He even took us to certified places of ceramics, leathers and carpets that were not part of the tour but that are part of the culture and that we appreciate very much. The driver quite well too and we were even offered water when we boarded the vehicle (which was new and clean). I would definitely recommend this tour and especially our Kutai/Diego guide!!Auto-translated”

“A wonderful day and a tour! We ended up being the only ones with our tour guide and driver. Our tour guide "Emri" was wonderful and full of knowleadge. We stopped first at a local artisan pottery place for a presentation and then went to Mary's House. After that we toured Ephesus. Lots of walking in a hot weather, but because it was just our family of four on the tour, things were smooth and we loved "Emri"! Thank you for a memorable day in Turkey!”
