Explore Ephesus, the Terrace Houses, and the Temple of Artemis on a private Kusadasi shore tour with lunch and port return.

“Wow! Bilal was so informative and friendly! He was proud of his country, but humble. He shared so much information with us and his English is impeccable. He took us to a ceramics shop and rug maker (I think it's required by the government) and it felt a little high pressure to buy something, but we were prepared for this after watching several Youtube videos. Ephesus, Terrace Houses and Ephesus Experience is a must - we were so surprised at how large the excavated town was! Just Beautiful!”

Review of a private Kusadasi tour to Ephesus, Terrace Houses, St. John Basilica, and Artemis Temple with fees included.

“We traveled with a family group with ages 84-15yo. Our tour guide, Emry was excellent, pleasant, funny, knowledgeable. Emry made sure we had time for bathroom breaks & time in the shade ( as it was a very hot day). Emry customized our tour for our needs. At the end of our tour, Emry recommended a traditional Turkish dessert, which we all tried & loved! We loved Emry & we all definitely want to go back to Turkey & spend more time exploring !”
