10/10 !!! Niko was great!! He was our your guide when we visited Kusadasi June 2023.Very well versed and proficient on what he does. Well recommended...

Well organized, professional tour guides and the drive you to the important sights. Free time is part of tour too so that you can buy souvenirs. Extra refreshments and things like water, wet wipes, masks are for free.

if you love history, must see. like a movie studio. fascinating, bucket list checked. great peoplee.

Our guide Zeynep was every knowledgeable, professional and easy to understand. She was always aware our our needs and did everything possible to accommodate.

I booked a guided tour to Ephesus, Virgin Mary, Artemis and Sirince via the Internet from Germany. Everything was perfectly organized, we couldn't be more satisfied. We had a private driver, the amazing Isik was our lovely and very professional guide and everything went smoothly. We were picked up at our house and were taken back at the end. It couldn't have been more comfortable. The price for this was more than fair. The locations are definitely all must-sees. Ephesus Port Tours is highly recommendable. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

the walk trough the ruins of ephesus especially the library and the atmosphere in sirince, the greek village.

Not sure if this is the same tour - tour bus to marketplace in Sirence; wine tasting at Artemis (bought a bottle of the pomegranate wine - excellent!); went to a museum in town, then bused to a former water mill that's now a restaurant (Gunlok Kahvalt Verilis); for lunch - excellent food, great service, TONS of beautiful plants & flowers. Hope I'm spelling everything correctly but I'm sure it's close!

Hakan was an excellent guide! Very informative and took great care of us. The ONLY complaint would be that he initially gave us some bad information on when ferries run from Samos ... so my suggestion would be to confirm any ferry schedules, don't rely on the tour companies. It cost us several hundred dollars to readjust schedules to accommodate. I almost gave him a 4 rating out of 5, but that would diminish how good a guide he is, and the fact that he bent over backward to help us after the initial mistake was realized. Go with Hakan.

My husband and I visited Samos back in August, and while we were there, we wanted to take a day trip to Turkey for a tour of Ephesus and to see some surrounding sites. We had never been before and contacted Ephesus Port Tours a couple of days before we had planned to visit. We received a response quickly and Hakan Bozdag (who came highly recommended) was available for the day we requested. Our time with him was great; he's very knowledgable and a kind host. I do not remember his name, but the driver who drove us around was great as well. Though our time in Turkey was short, we enjoyed it very much. Hope to visit again someday.

Today was our first day in Turkey. We had a private tour scheduled with HAKAN from EPHESUS PORT TOURS and we loved it. From the first email exchange to the final scheduling their response was always fast and very nice and acommodating. We booked the private 'Best of Ephesus Tour' for 2 people.  Everything was great: on time pick up at our hotel in Kusadasi, safe driving - the driver was so nice and attentive -, and the guide - Hakan - was awesome, very knowledgeable and even funny. He went above and beyond to fulfill our requests: "You are the boss!" Regular tours skip some places because you have to pay separate entrance fees but on the private tour we went to places that were really worthwhile to see. Even better: Hakan knew all the best spots to take pictures at all the sites. The lunch was optional and not included in the tour price. The recommended lunch spot was peaceful with excellent service, delicious food at €5 per person. Prior to the our scheduled tour we were offered an option for a shopping tour. Hakan left us very comfortable to choose if we wanted to see this part or not. He explained that we were not forced to buy anything and it was to learn about the culture. And so it was, no pressure. We watched how silk carpet is made and visited a leather factory. In the end we were glad we went and we didn't buy anything, although the products are beautiful and of exceptional quality. We had an unforgettable experience and truly enjoyed it.  I highly recommend the tour and Hakan is the best guide.

My wife and I booked the Best of Ephesus tour for September 24 through Tours by Locals. Elif was very responsive and helpful in finalizing our tour plans, and Hasan was our tour guide. Hasan met us at the port terminal at 8:30 as arranged and led us on a short walk to our van with private driver. The van was very clean and comfortable. We first visited Mary's House and then traveled to Ephesus. We included the Terrace Houses in the tour, which was a good decision. The excavations of the Terrace Houses are impressive, as is all of Ephesus. Hasan was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and his English and familiarity with the U.S. was excellent. He shared insights into life in current Turkey, which we appreciated. Hasan respected my desire to avoid any carpet-making demonstration. He took us to a local Turkish restaurant for lunch, where we sampled typical Turkish foods-all good. After lunch, we visited the Temple of Artemis, which is unimpressive after the ruins of Ephesus, Athens, and Corinth. The tour lasted about 7 hours. We paid a little less for our private tour with Hasan than we would have for a group tour with our cruise ship, so it was a far superior value. You must see Ephesus, and you cannot go wrong booking a tour with Ephesus Port Tours.

The companies mini-bus was very clean and comfortable for the tours which, as a group of eight of us, found it so nice to be able to talk with our tour guide,Zeynep, freely and who seems to know her stuff throughtout the trip. We all agreed the tour was well worth it and they even drop us off for lunch at a nice seafood restaurant in town and came back few hours later to picked us all up and took us all back to our hotel. Excellent service and cannot be faulty.

We had a private tour with Mehmet and it was an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend a private tour and it was very informative.

It was our first time in Ephesus and were very worried about what to do, but thankfully our wonderful guide Oguz brought us to the best of Ephesus and explained everything to us in perfect Spanish. It was a delight to get to know about this place and also to experience more of the crafts that the people in this place do, especially to see how the carpets are done. Definitely, recommend taking this tour if you visit Turkey and Ephesus. It's a must see place.

Ephesus has been our bucket list for years. When the time came we looked on TripAdvisor for your guides and companies. It was obvious which company and guide to select. The reviews did not steer us wrong. Hakan and his company met and exceeded any expectations. Charming, knowledgeable, detailed just a few adjectives of Hakan . You can't go wrong with Hakan.
