Our family of 6 (2 adults, 4 teenagers) very much enjoyed this tour. Our guide's knowledge base was considerable and the children did not find it boring at all. We thoroughly enjoyed the carpet-weaving demonstration also and the lunch provided. I am so glad we opted not to take the cruise excursion because (A) we had a much better personal experience, (B) It was much cheaper and (c) We got around much quicker than the coaches did (and therefore saw more). Easy booking, web page user friendly, payment no problem, all went well. Thank you, great company.

Me and my wife have been in Ephesus on September and it realy worth the money that we paid. We have been picked up from our hotel in Izmir with a brand new van. After about 1 hour drive we have been in Ephesus and it was realy more then i expect realy well preserved area you can even feel that people are still living there. That is also mostly because of our guide Josef he has a realy good knowledge about the area and the history he took us to that time as soon as we arrive the site
he made us live that moments also i am glad that we took his advice and visit the terrace houses it was amazing with the mosaics and everything else you can get why that people ruled the world for such a long while. On our tour we also visit a rug weaving center where the local people weav breath taking rugs and before we arrive i was a bit worry about what i heard because they all say so much agressive selling and so much push to sell you something but it was not at all. They just showed about how to weav them and shown some examples thats it. Also it was a good break that i can highly recommend on a long day.

We had a great tour of Ephesus with an excellent guide, Beste. We were dumped by Transbalkan Tour (Ephesus Travel Guide) after they got more business that day. We were concerned whether we could still get a good guide only a month before our tour since just about every cruise ship would be in town the day we were to visit. Not only Yusuf got us a good guide, he arranged an excellent Mercedez mini bus for our trip. We paid US $50 each including admission for a half day tour of Ancient Ephesus, Terrace Houses and House of Mary. He then threw in a free delicous Turkish lunch at the Carpet factory. We didn't ask to see the carpet factory and we could say no, but then with a free lunch, what the heck. The carpet making demonstration was actually very interesting and we got to see and step on some beautiful rugs. After we had enough we just walked out, no high pressure selling. They were very gracious and professional. We had no problem with it. On the contrary we quite enjoyed it and learned something about rugs as well. Our half day tour ended up about 7 hours including lunch.
Yusuf was at the port in the morning to make sure we got off OK with our guide and driver as he had several groups from our cruise ship using his company. From what we know, the other groups had a great tour as well.
Our guide Beste spoke excellent English and is an excellent tour guide. She managed to get us just ahead of the crowd so we got to see everything. We were lucky to have been dumped by TransBalkan Tour!

This is an enjoyable half day out. The city is a good 2.5 kilometer walk over marble paving. If you like history, you'll like this. If you like cats, there's hundreds to be seen.

This attraction was part of the day tour to Ephesus offered by Bluege travel in Turkey. The ruins were breathtaking to see and our guide Ozan G was happy to provide historical information about the area around the ruins and the ruins themselves. He made the day informative and entertaining. The added cultural visits around the area following the tour gave us a better picture of the country and the areas in and around Ephesus. Definitely worth the money.

This well preserved site is extremely interesting, our guide was very knowledgeable and it should be on everyones itinerary when in this part of Turkey. Try to avoid days when a cruise ship is in port if possible.

The driver was waiting for us the minute we disembarked. You are always worried as an American to arrive in Turkey and not know exactly where you are going and who will be taking you. But, this company provided a luxury van with AC and a great driver with a guide who spoke fluent English. It was a delight all day to have them work around the needs of our family. I can't say enough about how great a time we had in Ephesus with our guide. It was amazing!

Hi I think I read that Bluege offer a shuttle service to/from the golf resort to kusadasi market? Does anyone know what times this service runs & how much it costs please? Am I correct in thinking the market is held all day long on Wednesdays & Saturday's?

Hi
How far is Izmir for Ephesus and kuSadasi? Is it possible to do this from the Izmir cruise port and what would the cost be for two people in May?

As the owner of Bluege Travel Company, I would like to inform you that the posted review is totally fake and does say true. They have visited Ephesus on August, 2014 and posted a review for another tour company and rated excellent, but this time they have posted a review for our company and posted it on June 13, 2015 but visited Ephesus on August 2014. How come that one can visit Ephesus on August 2014 and could write two different reviews for two different tour companies on June 16, 2015?
Please delete this fake review asap from our web site. The contributors named "FoxTraveler" are liars thay post fake and bad reviews for services that they have never ever got.
If you do not delete this review I will escalate this to the official departments and will sue you.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Bluege provides a bus tour that leaves from the cruise terminal in Kusadasi
