Top notch trip with Emre - We had the most amazing time with Emre. When our Greek isles tour became stuck in Kusadasi for 5 days Emre came to the rescue. He had guided us thru Ephesus on our 1st day in Turkey. When he noticed our ship still at port the next day he reached out to us. He offered to take us on a bike tour thru mountains and vineyards, to an adorable cafe and back to port. He had e-bikes available for entire family. The following day he arranged a private boat tour to take our family of 11 thru crystal clear waters and coves. My family had the time of their life with him. We had such a blast with him.

Biking and a cultural experience all in one! - This tour was so much fun! Emre has really put together a special experience including a fun and beautiful bike tour (get the e-bike) along with some cultural experiences. Each stop is perfectly placed and worth the time. The only recommendation I have is don't spend too much time buying carpets and jewelry so you can't spend enough time at Ephesus before catching your cruise ship. Can't recommend this enough, especially if you are looking for something more active than the standard cruise ship excursions. Thanks for a great day, Emre!

Unique, active, educational! - We wanted a different type of tour from all of the others that we had planned for our European trip. What a great surprise that we could see the country of Turkey in a small group and while doing something active! Emre was not just a tour guide, it was like he was one of our friends spending the day with us. He was also an excellent ambassador for his country, educating us on all things. After our cycling adventure, he took us to a vineyard, a lunch, and then to the ruins in Ephasus. It was a day that we will not soon forget and that made our trip to Turkey the best possible! If you are even thinking about doing something like this, do it!

Fabulous bike trip in combination with Ephesus visit. - Our guide Mithat picked us up from the cruise port and after a short drive we got fitted out with our E-Bikes (we chose that option to make the trip more effortless!) and started a lovely 2 hour trip along local roads through vineyards and small villages, including a morning tea stop. After returning the bikes, we then continued by van (with private driver) to our lunch stop, followed by a visit of Ephesus with our guide Mithat. Along the way, he tailored the trip to our special requests, and gave us really good insights into local culture and history of the area. The trip was well balanced, not too tiring, but active enough to feel good at the end of the day.

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!
