Kusadasi Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Sends was very friendly and knowledgable. The transport was cool and relaxing. The store we visited were lovely but make sure you bring extra money to shop so much to buy. $40 Euro to enter Ephesus which is very interesting but watch out for slippery steps and path. Lunch was lovely and heading to bathhouse now.

Excellent job! We had a large group but he was patient. Very knowledgeable. Shared so much history. Had a great time! Worth the cost

Sevda was amazing! She perfectly curated our tour to what we wanted to see - would do again.

It was cool, the places he took us were interesting, the lunch pitstop was very homey, sometimes he didn’t talk clearly, but he was able to answer all questions we asked with detail

Excellent tour. Adam is a great guide and the best part was meeting Garfield and the other cats

Had a great tour! We did the Cats + Ephesus tour. It was a joy feeding the cats and every tour guide greeted Adam as the cat guy! We also got to explore the carpet school and see the magic behind every knot. We even showed up a bit early and he showed us where to enjoy a Turkish coffee while we waiting!

The host was truly amazing and gave us an insight into this beautiful country. Would definitely recommend!!

Had a little trouble making connection at the port, but after we got together with Isa, our guide all went well. He was an excellent guide cannot recommend him enough. Also would recommend making sure everyone knows that none of the entrance fees are included in your price, which accounts for the lower tour price than other tours,but all in all a great tour

This private tour is a must. Aydin our tour guide will tailor your trip to your liking. If you are looking for a very thorough tour in Kusadasi, I highly recommend this trip. The lunch was amazing!! We enjoyed every minute of it.

Aydın was a great tour guide! Easy pickup and great knowledge.

Our guide was very friendly, accommodating, and eager to share the culture and history of the area. Transport was air conditioned, comfortable and always waiting for us after our stops. Really appreciated how our guide met us at the cruise port and sat us down to review what we would like to do for the day. Wish I would have done more research so I could have customized our trip more to our interests. That was on us. Would have added a beach and more food-based stops and skipped the leather factory and gift shop stops (though the personal fashion show complete with music and runway was kind of a hoot). The Turkish bath was a very cool experience! Also enjoy the carpet collective stop. Very educational and super interesting, even watched them spin silk from live worm cocoons. Wasn’t planning on buying a carpet but they really are gorgeous! Have a budget in mind and do not be afraid to negotiate! . Many sizes. Ended up buying one for $1500 (think the “starting price” was around $6k) that will be shipped directly home. No regrets! All in all, I really enjoyed the biblically significant cruise stop more than I was anticipating as a nonbeliever.

Our guide Aydin was very knowledgable of the sites we wanted to see and very flexible in making sure we got the most out of our day. He was prompt, courteous , and very attentive to our needs. I hope to get back to Turkey for a longer stay and will surely look him and his company up when I do.

We had a most enlightening and delightful tour of Ephesus with our expert Guide , Ibrahim Kabakci. We learned a great deal about this ancient site , but also much more regarding ancient history . Those was capped by an excellent lunch under a mulberry tree and a splendid Turkish bath. Highly recommended!

We had the most wonderful experience with Ibrahim Kabakci. He was so informative, gracious and took us to the least populated places. It has been a very special day!

Sevda was very pleasant, friendly and polite. She was great with explaining the history of Kuşadası and the historical sites visited. I enjoyed the shopping experience as well as lunch. The food was delicious!

Our tour guide met us at the port. Our tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Sevva was patient and very knowledgeable about the area. Her stories resonated with me and increased my knowledge about the culture. She was flexible with what we liked (the tour was not rigid). Looking forward to the Turkish bath.
