Visit Kusadasi with Esra… you won’t regret it!!

Our experience visiting Kusadasi was absolutely incredible thanks to our tour guide, Esra. She was very friendly, quite knowledgeable regarding Kusadasi and made us feel comfortable at all times. We would definitely consider visiting Kusadasi again only if we have her as a guide the second time around!!

Adapted To Seniors

Our one on one guide adapted Ephesus for 2 seniors with canes and we didn’t miss a thing! Met her at 8am and were back on the ship by 12noon. Needed an afternoon rest after 8,000 steps😊

Great guide. Helpful and knowledgeable.

Goksu was very friendly and did a great job of showing us the sights in Ephesus. We spent a day with him in a comfortable van seeing the amazing ruins of Ephesus.
