A Charming and Relaxing Escape to Sirince Village - We had a wonderful shore excursion from Kusadasi Port to Sirince Village. The village was charming with its beautiful stone houses, local wines, and relaxed atmosphere. Everything was well organized, the guide was friendly and informative, and we returned to the ship on time. A perfect escape from the crowds and a great way to experience authentic Turkish village life. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour and even more amazing tour guide and bus driver - This was one of the best tours we have ever went on, a lot because of the historical significance of the area, but mostly because of our tour guide Aydin. He was so kind and thoughtful and crafted the perfect tour for us. He took us to the most significant areas first before the crowds came and the took us to other popular sites after the crowds diminished. His driver Sona was always prompt and a great driver. The y also returned us to our cruise ship in plenty of time. We could not imagine a more perfect day.

Much better than a large cruise ship tour - We booked this as an excursion on a cruise to Kusadasi. Our guide Fusun was wonderful and gave us a great personalized tour of Ephesus. We saw some very large group tours from our cruise ship and were so thankful to have this private tour. We also tried a good Turkish lunch, then learned how silk rugs are made. We were not interested in buying and didn't feel like the pitch was too aggressive. Overall, a great day and a much better value than a ship tour.

Amazing Trip! - I had such a great time on this tour with the guide Zuleyha. The ancient ruins of Ephesus are incredible, and Şirince was the cutest little village. I even bought some handmade soaps and fruit wine to take home. Perfect balance of history and relaxation!
