Amazing day with an amazing tour guide. She was the best. - We booked this tour because we wanted to do something active and not just being driven around. Goekce picked us up on time after communicating with us via WhatsApp. As it was only two of us we got picked up in a lovely limousine with all the trimmings. Our driver was friendly and his driving skill were spot on. Goekce gave us lots of information till we reached the place were our bikes were waiting for us. We rode around lovely little villages, Goekce explained , answered questions and pointed out lots of spots for great pictures. The driver followed in the car to make sure we were safe at all times. After 90 minutes of cycling we returned the bikes and got driven to Ephesus were Goekce gave us a very informative tour , answering all our questions and made sure we had the best experience. This was followed by lunch in a beautiful farmhouse garden and an introduction into carpet making. So informative and we did see the most beautiful carpets. We got dropped off at our hotel after the most enjoyable day and can’t thank Goekce and our driver enough for this experience. You were absolutely amazing.

A great experience to see Turkish countryside by bike, and Ephesus with a great guide. - Fantastic full day out, from being picked up on time from the hotel in a luxury minibus, to being dropped off. GeeGee was an exceptional, knowledgeable guide with excellent English. After collecting our modern, maintained bikes, we rode through some local countryside and villages, seeing things you wouldn’t see on a normal tour, with GeGe explaining what we saw of interest. The pace was good, covering 18km. Electric bikes are available. Ephesus was magnificent, as expected, with GeeGee escorting and explaining the whole way, again, with passion and knowledge. A lovely, comfortable lunch was provided after the tour, at a delightful farm, which was also a cottage industry for traditional carpet making. This is fascinating, and an insight into the work that goes into a handmade carpet, as you watch a lady in her art. All in all, a fantastic experience, well worth the money. GeeGee is a credit to her profession.

Great experience - Emre was a very professional and friendly tour guide -- collected us from the hotel in the morning and guided us through the day with a personal touch. We were able to see all that we wanted to (Ephesus, local foods, etc..) and learn more about the culture and history of the area. My parents, who had never visited Turkey before, enjoyed hearing about the Christian-related history of the area and how people lived in this region in antiquity. Would highly recommend!

The Highlight of our Cruise! - This was a wonderful experience for our family and turned out to be the highlight of our cruise through the Greek islands. Azi was an amazing guide! She showed us areas of Kusadasi we would not have seen otherwise. The Turkish countryside is beautiful and serene. The tour of Ephesus was fascinating. The lunch was excellent. If you are concerned about the bike ride, don't be! E-bikes made the ride a breeze. This is the one excursion our family continues to talk about. Highly recommend!

Definitely Recommended - Gökçe was a great guide and we had so much fun. The beautiful country ebike ride was filled with fresh air through pleasant smelling pine covered hills. Gökçe is very knowledgeable about history and was comfortably informative throughout the tour. I would definitely recommended.

Best Bike Ride in Turkey! - Emre was an excellent tour guide and a lovely person. We were on our honeymoon and it was just us on the tour, and I really felt we got to see parts of Turkey we wouldn’t have seen if we hadn’t done this tour. He took us through local villages, we picked fruit on our bike ride, and we learned about the local culture. I enjoyed hearing about his family, and we even met his wife giving another tour in Ephesus! I feel like we got so much out of this tour and we can’t wait to come back to see more of Turkey!

Beautiful, Interesting, and Invigorating Tour of Kusadasi - We had a wonderful time on this tour with Emre as our guide. The E-bike ride was amazing, and Emre gave us the history of the beautiful sites as we toured through the small villages. The second part of the tour took us to a Turkish rug factory where we learned how the rugs are handmade and how the silk is extracted. Disclaimer! This place is amazing, and our lunch wonderful, but the salespeople are aggressive. Lastly, we toured the ancient city of Ephesus. Emre is incredibly knowledgeable and made our tour very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.

Best tour ever! DO NOT MISS! - This was by far the best tour we’ve had on a Mediterranean cruise! Our guide Azime was outstanding - smart, funny, a great story teller, enthusiastic. She brought Kusadasi & Ephesus to light through our scenic bike ride, 2 different meals, custom walk through Ephesus highlights, wine tasting - the works! It was great fun & we learned so much about the culture & history of Turkey’s west coast. Do not miss this tour with Azime!!!

An amazing day! - We had a fabulous time, our tour guide Azi was extremely fun, very informative, and the whole tour was well organized. They had nice e-bikes and we saw beautiful countryside along with the tour of the ruins and a feel of life in the Turkish countryside. The farm lunch was very good also, and it was served at a beautiful Turkish rug museum. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
